Most my friends ask when I tell them that I am a full time writer- what are the novels or non-fictions written by you? How to make them understand that I am a full time web writer writing articles blogs, web-page and social media contents and earning a life from it? Is there any difference? Let’s see where the difference lies?
Talk straight-talk simple-talk in a hundred percent grammatically error free manner on the topic you want to say and write not only for the users but also for the search engines. This is the mantra of content writing and the best content writers of my knowledge follow the same sets of golden rule.
Why talk straight?

Why talk straight?
Believe me friends- web surfers take less than 30 seconds, once again only 30 seconds to approve or discard the relevance of your website. Do not tell and confuse them with the jargons like- we have received the best that is the best award in California- our products has made the win of Barrack easier- blah, blah, blah…….
Just inform them how they can be benefited from your website or product or service? There is no easier way to convince and engage some one except through a straight conversion.
Simple- are you crazy man!
In one of my interviews at a CMMI level-3 company, I was asked- what is your way of writing. I answered without any hesitation, I try to be simple. The interviewee was mute for a second and asked-trying???
Yes, I am trying and at every word I write I am trying to infuse simplicity in it- because it is not so simple to be simple. And, simplicity saves the day of a Content Writer everyday.
“Be error-free”- is it really worthy to say to a writer?
It is hard to believe but a naked truth that the whole web-writing field is populated by mediocre. They are here because nothing having a better opportunity cost was there for them.
We as human beings are prone to mistakes. But grammatical and contextual errors in web writing are not blunders, rather they are sin.
The primary requisite for a batsman is that he knows how to hold that bat. If he does not know it- irrespective of his tons cricketing general knowledge- he can never be called a batsman.
Experts have no substitutes. They may charge more as best things of life come only at a higher price.
Pleasing target audience and search engine- can the dual aim be achievable?
Yes, yes and again yes. The skill of a Content Writer is tested here. The job of a content writer is to abridge the gaps and develop content which is both user- and search engine friendly.
For users, I make sure that my write up is informative, updated, easy-to-understand and as much lucid as possible. For search engines, I always pay due importance to keywords, their perfect and judicious placing, and attractive titles.
Keyword stuffing, plagiarism and creating jargons through superfluous synonyms and adjectives are peccadilloes- the luxuries I can not afford. After all, client is investing his hard earned money on my writing skills.
