Learn How to Write Content

pabilo · Jul 2nd, 2007, 20:09

Hello,

The problem is that I had to write articles and sales copy and I'm having tons of problems getting stuf out of my head . I have bought and accumulated a bunch of PLR articles and resell rights products(ebooks) don't know what to do with them.

A little help please,

Pabilo

Have you thought about hiring a content writer specialist?

Writing is not easy. As an absolute minimum you must be able to:

Write grammatical sentences;
Organise ideas into a coherent structure;
Express yourself clearly and concisely.

These skills may seem basic, but relatively few people are even slightly competent in them.

Of course, you also need something interesting to write about: you need to hold a reader's attention.

Yes, I hire content writers to develop the content for all websites that I do. So if you want some names I can send them to you, just send me a quick PM asking for them.

Digital point is a great place to get content writers, as well as find tips on how to write content.

You could always start a blog to practice your writing skills.

I'm sure you could build a blog with a chatty sort of theme.

Then you'll be able to start and keep rolling a good forum.

Hmm, I tried that but lost interest due to the lack of visitors.
I like my blog, just need to finish coding before I can write serious articles.

I'd watch out for grammar and typos. This has been my biggest problem. If you are writing about something you enjoy, this would surely help.

I wrote over 100 pages just by saying to myself, "I'm going to write one page per day every day until I've reached my number of pages."

As "Jacohaug" mentioned content writers are also a great idea! If it's something you are very interested in you can generate lots of content. Also, PLR articles is great if it gives you the right to alter the content. This could save you lots of time.

Above all, when you are stuck, you are certainly in the right place to get a boost in the right direction.

I provide content for websites, it can be a difficult job if the subject is unfamiliar to you. Last week I had to provide 4 marketing articles for an African based website, this was not easy at all. The week before was football, now that was much easy. This week it's baby food, what can I say...lol

You sure do get a mix of things to write about!

Writing is never an easy job especially when you have to take into account various factors such as search engine optimization (SEO) and visitors. The most challenging thing about web site content writing is that you have to keep it entertaining and captivating for the visitors while trying hard to, satisfy the search engine criteria. There is a trade-off between these two and striking this balance can be very demanding as well. However, you can always make a blog to write your own stuff, but make sure you are conforming to the basics of content writing. Content with glaring mistakes can not be acceptable to the readers; hence, you should not subject your readers to blatantly ungrammatical English. As far as the PLR articles are concerned, you have to make sure that you edit them enough to prevent the problem of duplicate content.

hi,

Sorry to jump in on this one, but i am having a similar problem, is hiring content/copy writers particularly expensive? as i outsource many of my projects to freelance designers.

Thanks

It looks like a hard job, the topics are really diverse, and to write anything more or les appealing to the site's visitors you are to make a lot of research yourself, do you have enough time to do it?

pagerss · Feb 28th, 2008, 21:09

Interesting topic. You everything write for content structure.
What you thing about copyright. I looking for some clear descriptions what we can use and what is not appropriate.
Can someone have any idea where i can read something about.
