Being a content writing is all about writing content for a living. But good content writing is much more than that. Good content writing skills are very much essential in this age, where it’s all
about the Internet and social media. There are thousands of content writers, Sitting in Starbucks all day and making a decent income just by delivering good content. If you were to become a content writer or you are already a content writer,
you need to understand a few key things that every good content writer should know to generate good content.
Strong/Sensible Topics:
Don’t just start writing at random
useless topics. Choose a wise and sensible topic that would convince the reader to spend 10 minutes reading it. It might sound very basic, But most of the people just keep on writing because it’s their job. Well, there is nothing wrong with that, but it might cease the interest of your towards writing in a
long term.
Engagement:
Make sure your content should be engaging, and to do that as we read above about “write on sensible topics.” Well, that’s not the
only thing that should be considered, try to have a “You and I sort of a style of writing” This will make the reader feel more engaged as if it were a conversation. Also, try to keep your key topics on point.
Adapt Different Styles:
Adapting different style does not mean you write every other article in a different style. It’s just about understanding and makes subtle changes in the way you write for the reader because eventually, it could bore the reader and you might end up losing traffic and engagement.
SEO/HTML Knowledge:
Now before you shy away from this a point, I’m not asking you to be a technical geek but to have a basic knowledge of it. In order to optimize your page to get more traffic, it’s also very important to follow a few rules while writing.
Improve/Learn:

important to keep on growing your knowledge. Keep reading books, blogs, own written blogs to figure out how can it be better than it was the last time. This is one of the most important things that most of us miss out.
