The Pen Smile!

Even though content writing is one of the high-paying jobs currently, not everyone gets appreciated. Even though it pays you well, it sucks being a content person at times.

It does, seriously.

Content writing is a work that is creative and is done by many with the help of the internet. But it has its drawbacks and messes with one’s mind. No content person would accept it publicly, but secretly we all want to smack that laptop on the wall and scribble on the notepad every second.

Firstly, content is not just a job or just a career.?It’s a way of life. It’s a way of expression. It’s not just a job where one makes pointers and starts typing randomly. It’s a way of living for the braves, who are brave enough to criticize their work. It’s a way of telling people that you exist. It’s a way of telling the world that your voice is important.

It can be exhausting to have work that relies very much on creativity, which is neither constant nor the same 24*7. Personally, I hate the fact that much of my emotional energy goes towards my content during work, because by the time I stare at my laptop screen for my own writing projects, I’m usually out of words.

Half of a writer’s energy goes into creating the title. Short yet true. Many of the new content writers need to understand that the title won’t come up right away. Give it time, you will reach it. It’s an obvious fact that a reader won’t click on a boring title, but manage your words and time. Many times, it is common to forget a word or phrase, just Google it. It’s always better than banging your head against the wall.?

While we roam around keywords, let’s not forget that we are writing for a living and thinking about audiences, and not the search engines which is going to rank your article. SEO is an art of its own, which helps an article perform immensely, but don’t shift the focus from your word art.

No writer is satisfied at the first read. It’s ok to edit and rewrite. But while you write, write as its best piece; while you edit, edit without mercy. Plan your schedule well so that you have enough time to edit and rework in case needed. Be credible in what you write. Last but not the least, it is important to have a look at what your competitors are doing, but also keep an eye on what they are not doing.

Lastly, everyone knows it’s an amazing profile, but people fail to recognize & appreciate it.
