Do some quality thinking
Aye, aye, quality thinking is necessary for churning out quality words.
i don't have much experience in writing, as i only recently started it. but what i've noticed is that- the more i read, the better I write. And this doesn't mean that I read things that are only related to what I write about. I love me some YA fiction. But my work includes writing about culture and history. But, just reading anything makes my writing just so much smoother.
Agreed, reading is the no.1 exercise to build vocabulary and learn writing style. I have been trying to push myself to read at least 5 pages every day, and so far it has worked well for me.
1. Read Articles 2. Have an app for new word a day 3. See videos for new ideas in content writing 4. Search for new tools 5. Practice 6. Listen to what people , you can get ideas
Great list! I think I did a good job with point no.6. I have been getting a lot of ideas from people after posting this question on PH. Thanks for commenting, Jaskiran.
Best way is to take a really good training on writing better content, I am currently writing here , but would really love a genuine rating on my writing skills:) good or bad. Thanks in advance
Yup, getting better at your art is like a guaranteed technique for improvement.
thanks, any other suggestion?
I've been surprised by how great Yoast SEO is. It tells me when I'm using passive voice or when I need to shorten sentences. I agree on the Grammarly advice, but Yoast has been helpful picking up broader readability issues that Grammarly hasn't caught.
Yoast SEO is a life-saver. There were a few instances where my writing was passable by Grammarly, but Yoast SEO red flagged readability issues. Thanks for commenting, Allison.
Here are few top recommended book that can help you to improve your copy writing. The Halbert Copywriting Method Part III: Reveals the editing formulas and patterns found in the works of history's best copywriters. The Adweek Copywriting Handbook: Legendary copywriter and ad man Joseph Sugarman provides proven guidelines and expert advice on what it takes to write copy that will entice, motivate, and move customers to buy. The Boron Letters: These letters date back to 1984, so don't expect tips about the Internet, email, & social media. Instead, expect advice that goes deeper than modern media. Ogilvy on Advertising: This book is a comprehensive guide on all the facets of advertising. Few book suggestions on psychology and persuasion, as they’re the basis of good copy. Influence: You’ll learn the six universal principles of influence and how to use them to become a skilled persuader. Made to Stick: Why some ideas take hold, and others come unstuck. Contagious: In Contagious, Berger reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission.
This is an interesting list. I had heard about a few of them before, thanks for reminding me.
Can you provide some info about: 1. The Audience, 2: The Publishing Mode. The first and the foremost thing to do is to identify who are you writing for. Is it a 15-year old high school kid you are targeting or is it a 50 year old business person who would be reading it. The second important thing is to know where your target audience would be reading it. Are they going to read it as a blog or are they going to read it on a printed newspaper? Or are you planning to write a novel or is going to be a social media post? One thing that could help anyone improve their writing quality irrespective of any factors is to read as much as you can. Hope this helps!
I mostly write for the B2B and B2C audience. My articles are published on our company blog and other websites that accept guest posts. I agree with you on the part that the nature of the audience largely shapes the way one writes content.
Longer sentences don't automatically translate to better sentences. The shorter a sentence, the better its readability.
Keep It Short and sweet - The KISS formula
Follow great writers learn from them
This helps. I follow a few writers on social media, and I keep a note of their tips as and when they share it. Do you follow any writers?
