My experience as a content writer

Well, getting a job with skill as a content writer can lead you to a world of several opportunities. Well for better understanding, let’s talk about what’s content writing.

Content writing is a form of writing or a process of writing, planning, and editing web content, typically for digital marketing purposes. This means creating the writing which appears on websites that are designed to sell or promote a specific product. As content writers, we play an essential role in search engine optimization, which drives web traffic and sales, and we are responsible for explaining topics clearly and understandably.

I must say content writing is a broad skill and I know many of us are curious to know some other types of content writing, they are;

· Ghostwriting: A ghostwriter is a chameleon, so skilled at their writing craft that they shapeshift into the dedicated voice that belongs to both brands and people. they develop content and it is being published by someone else. One has to make the necessary research and put it in a creative way that is appealing to the prospects and the brand without being recognized for it.

They excel in specific topics regarding technology. They develop technical contents for users to understand what it is that they do, you can seek the help of a technical writer to present your business in an easy-to-digest content writing format.

· Copywriting: Now, this is the most compelling of all content writing jobs. Even if it is highly demanding, it requires writers to be very creative. These writers have to be constantly inspired to be at their best. So if you’re looking for a short advertising material to promote your business, copywriters are the solution.

· Report writers: These kinds of writers are needed in colleges, companies that need reports based on thorough researches for the smooth functioning of their operations. To be a report writer of an organization, one must have in-depth knowledge of the organization and must be kept updated.

As broad as this skill is, you can’t be good at all of them. Taking myself as an example, I see myself as a Marketing and communication writer, ghostwriter, report writer, copywriter, blog writer, and also an article writer. I decided to stay true to these listed skills and be great at it.

My Experience as a content writer has been a great journey and learning from others along the way has been awesome. Making a living of this skill hasn’t been easy but it’s a great experience. I tried learning this skill to help with my digital marketing to help communicate with readers. Being a content writer can help one in several areas, for example, a social media manager.

Yeah, a job as a social media manager can be so fun because you get to relate with others, now this is a form of networking. Networking is the act of growing your online presence and listen to people. in a way, you’re getting feedback and see if it’s a problem, you get to propose a solution. This is why I enjoy being a content writer as well as a digital marketer. If you’re considering being a content writer, it’s a good deal, and be consistent to be the best. It’s not easy though. Take courses, ask questions, make research, and most importantly, keep writing and I can bet it with you, you’ll make a living and killing of it.
