Things to Do to Become a Successful Content Writer

[Mika]

Content writing is a huge industry. As a content writer, you can not only make money as a blogger and book writer, but also ghostwrite, provide content for websites and businesses, and make a lot of money. There are certain things that you should do in order to become a successful content writer.

Never postpone your work, work immediately on the assignment you have been hired for. You can accept multiple assignments at the same time, but you need to work on orders according to the deadline and never push on deadlines.

Deliver fine work, don’t be complacent, and start thinking that one or two mistakes are fine. Try to deliver the work with zero mistakes. Don’t make any mistakes even while communicating with your clients through emails and chat messages.

You need a back massage. Well, you need to relax and have fun because content writing is a creative activity and in order to become creative you need peace of mind.

I have good writing skills. And I hope that one day I can get into full time writing job soon. I have a very good decent paying job and I am very passionate about my job. But in recent years, my health is not upto mark. I have one autoimmune disorder and I have always managed it with diet and healthy lifestyle. But once I crossed forty years, my health condition has not been so supportive for a full time job and daily commutation. So, I went for part time job with hourly rates. Could manage it well for few years. Now with a covid infection last year, my health has been effected in long run. Most days are good, active and productive, but then some can be totally out of track..I would like to work at my own flexible hours with my peace of mind and avoind all commutation in the traffic and pollution. I would like to do that soon.
Content writing would be a good option and I am exploring for that. Your tips are great for someone who has already begun the journey into content writing. I am stumbling with the start. Can you suggest some good suggestions to get started...some courses to refine our content writing skills, sites tgat offer content writing job etc. Thank you

That's a good response. Thank you. I should be exploring some YouTube videos to get started with. I searched for it and found a number of them there. I have to explore and find out which one would be the most suitable ones.
You are right that we will learn a lot while we are working on it. The more and more we get into the writing, we get a hang of it.
Are there some good content writing sites tgat you can recommend to start with? Once I get started, I would gain experience and even refine my skills.. I used to write for Associated content a long time back. I had a very good experience with the site and wrote a lot of articles and contents there. I made some good money writing for them.

Theree are no hard and fast rules when it comes to writing. I understand that your tips are meant to help increase your profile as a content writer. Writing is a skill that I think cannot be taught. You have to sit down and just start writing. The best way to learn how to write is to just start writing.

In this days of tech, why would someone deliver a writing job ridden with mistakes? It is very easy to wrote mistake free contents today. There are so many tools for that. It is just that some content writers are very lazy.

The peace of mind part struck me beautifully. There is no way that you would be able to write with a disturbed mind. That is why writers have to learn to ignore things. I sleep whenever I go through difficult times. That's the worst time to write. Your Creativity would be zero.

@Etini . I totally agree with you. Writing is a natural talent and it can not be taught to anyone. It's self learnt out of interest. It can only be improved and refined. You have beautifully said that the best way to learn it is to start doing it. You get better with it as you keep doing it and it starts coming natural to you with less effort. One keeps growing and getting better with time and experience.
Many tools are there to help us with Grammar and spelling corrections. One can use it.
Seems like you are into content writing. Can you share a few good sites that would be good to start with? Thank you.

When you mention about creating a portfolio, can you elaborate a bit about that. Thar would be helpful if we have a better understanding and clarity about it. Where should one create the portfolio and what all should be covered in the portfolio. I have a fair understanding that portfolio will help you showcase your skills and talents to the perspective clients. But how to get more visibility once the portfolio is created and what all should be included in that portfolio.
All the points that you mentioned are quite valid. Being professional and commitment is very much required in any kind of job that we do. And one has to be very open to learning. It's important for the personal and professional growth. If learning ceases, one becomes stagnant and can not grow. It's a fast changing world with technology advancements happening all the time. One needs to be updated with that to stay in the market.
