Secrets to Success for Content Writers: 5 + One Bonus
I am going to share my journey because currently, I am also on the same path.
Every single day I spend more than 12 to 14 hours reading, writing, and observing other people’s work, and taking courses.
I am going to sum up all the learning that I learned in 5 steps.
You don’t need to wander for the best resource that help you to become a successful writer.
5 Steps — Which will put you ahead of Average Writers
Clear all Red Traffic of Your Mind: FIRST
I suffer a lot because of this single thing.
If you also going to start a writing journey you will going to suffer.
Just take a pen and paper and sit with yourself in a silent environment.
Try to answer every single question that comes to your mind.
If you don’t want to do this exercise believe me you’re going to waste starting 5 to 6 months easily.
If anybody observes my LinkedIn account every week my title changes, ghostwriter, content writer, start-up stories writing, personal development writing, and tomorrow I also going to change.
This all thing happens because my WHY is not clear, I don’t have clarity on what I want to do, or why I am doing this.
Ask these 5:
- Why do I want to write?
- Who am I writing for?
- What type of content do I want to write?
- What if first 6 months no one read me?
- Desire behind starting content writing?
So before going to jump in writing stuff always introspect yourself.
Ignoring Your Competitor: SECOND
Just think you also going to serve those customers/clients/audiences whom your competitor is serving.
Right, so why are you not analyzing your competitor?
Finding their weak point and making your strong point
In starting When I started I literally ignored competitors.
Because I think I don’t have a competitor in my field, I only need to work on myself and I will get views and customers.
So why do I see toward competitors but I am wrong? Please don’t do this(see your competitor)
People’s Behaviors Changing see What is Current Now: THIRD
Media agencies invest millions of dollars to see how to get people’s attention, and how to format content so that people give their time.
Currently, one linear text content doing very well because people love scrolling subconsciously you also.
So you need to design your content according to people’s needs.
The above point I learned from a paid course and you get free for this thing you can follow
Agree with this Point Too Late: FOURTH
Actually, when I write I just want people to read my content.
If they like they will share, comment like but I never acted like him, living in delusion.
I never make content for anyone even though I was sitting and writing content all day.
Because I want mass audience,
I want more and more people to read me.
But nobody loves my content why?
Because I targeted everyone,
You need to be specific with your content If you are serious about content creation game.
Before starting to write an article or content you need to think about who will benefit from the article, think about that person’s problem, write down notes, and then start writing your article or content.
Since I’ve been doing this I started getting results believe me if you have only 1000 loyal followers they will make you famous but you need to target those 1000.
People are Selfish, So you also need to be Selfish: FIFTH
Whatever value you give by your writing or content, believe me, people take those values and go home.
They don’t care about you, This is harsh but the truth,
Even you also do with other creator’s content.
This is not bad if you also become selfish and ask what you deserve.
Always your writing or content include CTA(Call-To-Action) means reader after completing your pieces of content, first ask yourself what you want from your work.
If I give my example on Quora I want an upvote so I ask for an upvote, on medium I want followers so I ask for them, on LinkedIn I want comments so I ask for them.
You need to be a selfish person If you are in the online world, don’t cheat anyone but also ask those things that people can give.
Your Thought has a Million Impressions Don’t Mix: BONUS(for your upvote)
Especially if you are on the creator side whenever you make a video or write something during that time you get multiple thoughts.
What you do, is mix those ideas/thoughts on a single piece of content, and the result is if any reader reads it will be confused.
And you do not get benefits from your work.
So what I do is if I write something and in between any thoughts come I write down on my notepad and I make separate content on that idea or thought.
And one thing don’t even let the thoughts that are coming, in the online world you don’t know which thing will go viral.
Conclusion:
Be selfish because people are also selfish, Don’t feel embarrassed in asking what you deserve.
In the online world people’s behavior changes with time.
See what trend currently running in the market BEST thing you can do is see your competitor who is currently on top observe him and steal it.
Separate things, and make separate content because every thought can have a million impressions in one post don’t write with 2 ideas.
Before starting writing do an exercise with pen and paper that I tell you in the first step.
