Tips for Effective Content Writing

There are certain rules that every writer must adhere to when it comes to the broad area of content writing. No, this has nothing to do with search engine optimization but has more to do with the art of writing itself long before the internet found prominence in our lives.

So here are some tips that any writer can use to write effectively, regardless of what he or she writes:

#1: Read other people’s work

One of the best tips that one can get as a writer is to read, read and read some more. There’s always something you can learn from what they’ve written whether factually or as a writer. Very simply, the more you read, the better your vocabulary and grammar gets, and the same goes for speaking as well.

#2: Keep them guessing

When you build a feeling of suspense around your story, the reader can’t wait to get to the next paragraph. Breaking up your story into different articles or blogs is not such a bad idea too.

#3: Avoid repeating words & sentences

This, for all practical purposes, is plain irritating. Imagine yourself as the reader who keeps finding one word or sentence repeated (not for effect like some established writers use it for) throughout the article or blog. Once or twice is fine but not more than that!

#4: Humor

Be funny. Readers love articles or blogs that make them grin and laugh. Most people (read as: your readers) will remember how you made them feel. And they’ll come back for more.
