Through our content, people gain your trust.

More reasons why you should write good content. Your content gives prospective customers reasons to give you the job.

Always have this in mind no one wants to give you money unless you give them reasons to.

Different Between Content Writing and Copywriting?

I would also make, a clarify about the Content.

What exactly is Content writing?

Content writing is simply creating content (written or visual information) in the digital space. Content creation is more than writing. There are four types of contents:

Written content: Blog posts, social media posts, etc,.
Visual content: Fliers, diagrams, pictures, etc.
Audio content: Podcasts
Video content: Reels, YouTube, etc

You can use graphics and fliers.

People are moved by what they see, and use pictures to attract them, they would be eager to stop at your content.

It's still content.

So good content isn't just to write well, but to do the four well.

How To Create A Good Content

There are certain ways you can improve your chances of creating exceptional content that would make you excel this year.

These ways have been implemented by professionals who have dominated the Copywriting platform.

Here are seventeen ways:

# 1 Know your audience

Being aware that you're not just creating content to entertain people but to gain clients and close the deal would guide you to create that content well.

You should understand that everyone can't be your customer.

Do men wear wigs and heels? Even if you sell air, not everyone would buy.

You're dealing with business people who are so intentional about making sales and profit, that when you have this in mind, you create content to suit their taste.

#2. Solve a problem

Your content is no content good enough because it doesn't meet your client's needs.

You're to solve a problem they are facing.

Nobody wants to sit and listen to your long and boring presentation if it's not for their benefit.

The interesting fact is that there are a lot of problems, just look for one and solve it.

Just like the Doctor provides a solution to your sickness which is a problem so also you should provide solutions in your content.

#3. Never say “buy"

People generally find it difficult to trust people. If you tell them to buy from you, they most likely won't buy from you.

They hate to be sold to but these same persons like to buy.

You should create your content in a way that gives them reasons to come to you.

# 4. Never stop learning

You can take courses, both free and paid.

Just ensure you're learning.

Your punctuation, grammar, and how to play with words.

Look for those who have gone ahead of you and learn from them.

Watch videos, and read blogs and ebooks.

The moment you stop learning, you are one step behind.

#5. Don't sound desperate

Don't Force people.

Don't act like a hungry salesman.

When you act that way, people will run from you.

You can learn CLOSING.

Closing helps your customers to buy from you without forcing them to buy.

#6. Tell stories

Stories grab people's attention.

Make use of a story while writing a copy.

People cannot say yes or no to a copy. Stories might not be true but it keeps them fixed on your content.

#7. Use trending topics

Flow with the trend, and create Content on things currently happening.

Be current.

Your audience would be moved to engage with your content. Remember the main goal is to satisfy your audience.

#8. Be loud and consistent

There is a lot of good content out there but if you are not loud and consistent with what you do.

No one cares if you're the best.

If you are good at what you do, you must tell it to the world.

If quacks are shy, I don't see any reason you should be shy.

#9. Don't just write, research

You don't have to be a good writer, you need more research.

If you need to be a good writer, probably only literate professionals would be able to do the job. Instead of focusing on writing big grammar, you need to get information to be able to know what is trending and businesses you can help.

Research helps you to know the areas in which businesses are lagging behind and how you can use your copy to provide solutions to their problems.

Make a lot of research.

Copywriting is 80% research and 20% writing.

#10. Be original

Be yourself.

Let people see something unique about your content.

Being unique helps you stand out.

You don't have to create content like everyone. Find your strength and build on it.

# 11. Put CTA

Call to action helps to draw your clients.

Don't just create content and leave your audience hanging.

Give instructions on the next step to take or action to carry out. You might tell them to click a link that takes them to your WhatsApp platform or your website.

You've done a good job to draw their attention, it's left to you to perfect what you've started.

After educating them on a subject matter, tell them how you can help them with your services.

# 12. Give things for free

Now this should be handled with sensitivity.

Naturally, people don't value free things but if they find value in it, they will.

Besides, you're not just offering to them because you love to give free things but because you're gaining something in return.

This doesn't have to be obvious, it's just a way of attracting people to your content.

For instance, you decided to give free ebooks, if they invite five people to read your content.

Remember, this is not just any content, it's more like a copy.

#. 13. “Catch them young”

I'm sure you’re familiar with that saying.

Your headline is the first thing that your audience sees, it is your opportunity to grab.

Learn to have a catchy headline. Catch them while their attention span is still high with your headline.

#14. Edit your content

After writing that beautiful content, ensure to check for errors.

Technology has made a lot of things easier, you can check for errors with Grammarly or QuillBot.

No matter how nicely a food was cooked, if it was found in the dustbin, no one would eat it.

#15. Be as simple as possible

Copywriting is not about grammar.

No one cares if you're so good at big grammar.

The goal is to pass the message to the audience.

Use Simple terms that wouldn't stress your audience.

Simply write the way you talk (a in conversational tone).

Terms that they can easily understand. It's advisable to use an active voice for ease when your audience is reading.

#16. Put down the ideas immediately

Everyone is capable of bringing out beautiful ideas.

The problem is when it comes, we hesitate to write it down immediately then the ideas disappear.

Build a habit of writing down your ideas as they come.

You can edit them later.

#17. Positive mindset

All the above steps might be futile if you don't position your mindset well.

Have a growth mindset and not a fixed one.

If your mindset is right, everything will fall into place.

Don't hesitate to think big. Have a mindset that brings you to success.
