With some experience and these handy tips, you too can get professional grade content writing developed for your clients that engages and assists in sales conversion. Let’s look at them.
Ditch your old-school approach
As children, our school education content were designed more towards a Q&A mode. However in a blog, it is necessary to have a conversation.
– There is nothing more irritating than writers speaking at you,
– There is nothing more appealing than writers speaking to you.
That’s what differentiates a content from a great content.
Know your blog
It is a good idea to clearly determine a topic that you will write on. Next it will be good to have a rough outline to present your blog post in a smooth flow.
My personal advice: Construct the introduction and the conclusion first and then move to the body of the content. This ensures that we end up answering/resolving a problem/topic we started with.
Your headline
You can have great content in the body but if the headline or title is not attention grabbing then who will care to move to the body of the content? Hence your heading should be the most effective weapon in your content writing arsenal. Check out this CopyBlogger post for more tips on this point.
Your keywords
