How to Be a Content Writer Superstar


Content writing, like any business and profession has its superstars. These individuals are the ones who get assignments in a jiffy, every application that they put up are gobbled up immediately, and they basically lead quite a financially enhanced life. If you think that these guys are the ones who were born with a silver spoon, you are sorely mistaken. Yes, they do have some advantages and skills, but they are nothing that you can garner up, or something that you cannot do. Here are the three tips that will make you a content writer superstar.

Make Article Titles 
I have never ceased wondering how someone who terms themselves a content writer cannot come up with a title on their own. I can understand when the SEO department comes up with the titles, because they need to stuff some keywords into the titles, but I do not understand how a content writer can say that 'it'd be difficult to make titles'. If a content writer cannot come up with a title, I wonder how they would be able to write 500 word articles on the subject. However, my wonderment aside, making titles from given keywords is not just easy, it is also free. You can always use your 'SEO title making skills' as a leverage at the bargaining stage, and if you are wondering how to make an SEO'd title, fear not, it's not as difficult as it sounds.

Legend (because till date there's not a single University or educational institution that tells you the science behind SEO. They tell you how to SEO, but it never tells you why SEO does what it does) has it that SEO likes titles like 'How to', 'Why', "What is', 'Three Tips, 'Five Tips, 'Ten Tips', etc. And well, this is not SEO, this is common logic and sense. Like how we made up an interesting title for our school and college compositions.

Another tool that you can use to make titles is the free Google Keyword Tracker tool, which provides you with keywords that are relevant to a particular subject. You can have a look at the keyword it throws out, and then come up with a title that is relevant to any of the keywords. If you want to go the full way, you can always try WordTracker, which is supposedly the best keyword tool in the world, and is used by at least one Article Directory.

Use Language as a Tool to Put Forth Your Ideas 
I still remember that I could not measure the distance that our eyes rolled up when a content writer in our midst told us that he uses 'high currency' words because they are the mark of a good content writer. Our suggestion would be not to use obsolete words, because they make the article seem verbose, and makes the reader pay undue attention to the language used, and not the concept that the writer wishes to put across.

There are many words that are out of the everyday lexicon, but content writers use them randomly in their articles for no specific reasons. Content writers should understand that some words have been churned off the everyday language because there is nothing that they can be used to describe. Even a simple enough word like 'array' would have become obsolete unless some guy at Java thought of using it in the programming language.

Be SEO Aware 
No, a content writer cannot do the SEO of a website, because eighty percent of SEO is off page and involves work that is more or less designed for a data entry operator (link building, anyone?) However, knowing what SEO is and what it does to a website will certainly increase your value in the content market. If you are not interested in SEO, you should at least read up on the subject, and should be able to hold a decent conversation with any project owner who has learnt from the countless webinars that they have read through about how SEO can change the world and how the content guy should be very good friends with SEO.

Three Tips for Writing


Working at home is quite different from working in an office, and you'd be surprised to find out how even the smallest of things make a huge difference. If you are  and are wondering how to enhance your writing skills, here are three simple tips that will definitely go a long way for you.

Go Away from Disturbance 
If you are working from home, and if you have heeded to our advice, you must be having a small room for yourself by now. If you do not have one, one of the first things that you should do when you are writing is to go to a place that is more suited for you to write. Some like to write in silence, yet others cannot do anything until their computers start the music on, the quirks are numerous. The funny part is that you wouldn't actually understand what is stopping you from writing, until it actually happens. For example, you wouldn't know that you can write better on the terrace of your house in the early mornings, with the silence of the city around you, and the birds chirping around, until you actually do it one day.

While we cannot tell you which is the best place in your house for you to work, what we can tell you is that you should definitely go away from the children, the television and in some cases, even the kitchen, when you are about to write.

Listen to Acoustic Music 
This is a suggestion that has worked for many freelancers that we know, and have worked with, but one should be a bit careful while doing this. Listening to music while working definitely peps one up and may even make one work faster and better, but it all depends on what kind of music a person is listening to. The most suggested music is acoustic music, where there is no chance of being disturbed, or having their attention span degraded with the lyrics. The music can either be soft, soothing, or can even be aggressive - it all depends on what kind of music you'd like to listen to. The only suggestion is to use acoustic music.

Stick to It 
Giving up is easy, following it up and sticking to it is not. Many a times, nothing else works, but the concise knowledge that you won't be able to pay the bills this month if you do not complete this particular assignment. Of course, we wouldn't want the writers to come down to such a down low, but this does give us another suggestion - that to continue staring at the computer screen blankly for as many hours as you would, until you feel like completing the said assignment.

These are the three tips that we would like to give to the freelance, and 9-5 writers who are finding it a bit difficult to complete their writing assignments.

Three Things the Content Writer Should Know About Search Engine Optimization


Content Writing has been around for a long time. It's not as if the Internet started, and they made a new profession called content writing. Content writing has been around since the time the first newspaper, the first magazine, and the first website came up. Search Engine Optimization is quite new, as it began with the Internet, but it is just an enhancement of advertising and marketing. Now, these two professions are working related to each other, and many companies even consider content writing to be a part of the SEO department.

However, a content writer is not a search engine optimizer and a SEO is not a content writer - at least for the most part of it. Many content writers think of learning SEO (though you cannot, because there is no University that offers a degree course in SEO), while SEO think of learning how to 'write', often ending up in disastrous results. Here are three aspects that the content writer should know about SEO, if they are aspiring to learn SEO.

Eighty Percent of SEO is Off Page

If you have been writing for a while, you'd know that there's off page SEO and on page SEO. Though the terms seem quite scientific and complicated, off page just means the SEO tricks that are related on the site as a whole, which may be actually implemented on other sites, and on page SEO means SEO tricks that are implemented on a particular article, page and therefore, to the entire website. So, aspects like Link Building, Link Exchange, posting on Forums, etc., are off page, while adding a perfect number of keywords into an article is on page SEO.

You are better off Not Doing SEO

Activities like Link Building, Link Exchange and even Forum Posting to a certain extent require no writing skills, and a content writer would be wasting their time doing this for a client, unless they really, really want to become a digital marketing behemoth and charge per hour for their SEO services. Basically, Link Building and Link Exchange can be done by any guy who can compose an e-mail and has learnt how to 'Copy' and 'Paste'. These aspects should be delegated to a data entry professional. The client will save money, and you will be able to perform in your core capacities - that of writing.

SEO is not a Science.

Funnily, there are several people online who sell thousands of e-books, and even have people sign up for courses for SEO, but it is not a science, or even an art. So, if you are thinking that doing this set course of actions will give you the same reaction by Google and other search engines, you are wrong. If this does happen to you, you can only grin and bear it and try again. You have something better to do than that - write and earn.

5 Ways To Stay Organized Working From Home


Working at home can bring a lot of fun and benefits into your life. Sometimes things may get hectic though and organization can become something that gets easily forgotten. Maybe you just got back from vacation or let your kids in your work area, suddenly everything is a bit messy. Do not fret though keeping some simple habits can help ensure you stay organized. Let's take a look at the 5 I use below:

Setting Work Hours - Some of us may think this is not important but it really is. There are certain points of the day you may have more privacy or easier access to do things. There also is certain points you may be more or less alert. Night is bad for me because around 11pm I am yawning. But I stay up anyways and finish what I started or make a note to get to it the next day. The work hours should work in a way your family understands clearly. Everyone should know when you are working and when you won't be. Depending on what you do from home will help determine how this works for you. You could set up a schedule for your fridge and workspace detailing your busy points of the day, this way everyone is informed.

Keep A Clean Zone - If you end up bringing food into your work area make sure to keep your desk clean. I sometimes get coffee ring stains on my desk and they distract me, or a stack of papers get in the way. You could set up a file system to keep papers in a proper home. Even though you may only spend so many hours a day in this room you should make a point to clean it weekly.

Sticky Notes - Deadlines can get annoying but they must be met. Set up a whiteboard or use sticky notes and write down important information and keep it close by. I easily have dates slip my mind so I often make notes and leave them on my desk to review each day to make I didn't miss something.

Close Out Distractions - The biggest one is the internet. I have many times started a blog post, got popcorn and watched a movie on my computer then looked at my blog and realized its two hours later. Where did that precious time go? Next thing I am yawning because I should be in bed. If you do not need the internet connected consider shutting it off your computer. If you have a door, close it when it gets noisy. Your office shouldn't have a bunch of electronics or other distractions, keep it simple.

Make Time For You - Do not overwork yourself and give yourself some breaks. If you don't it is easy to get distracted. You should also make sure you spend a bit of time with your family and friends when you can.
These really are basic tips but they are crucial to make working from home work for you. If you had a desk job at some office you would have to focus on the job and have breaks during the day. Working at home means it's up to you to set the scene.

Keeping detailed work hours will also help you plan other activities to do with family or friends. Depending what you do from home you may be able to change your schedule last notice. I find when my desk is messy I can't concentrate. Sadly it gets messy all the time because I watch movies on Netflix so candy wrappers may linger for a few days, receipts and even a stack of bills. I am working on a sorting system right now to keep bills off the desk so that should help.

Sticky notes or a whiteboard may seem like a waste but they are not that wasteful. Plain or lined paper would work to. As long as the note is where you can see it that is all that matters. As far as household distractions go you can probably cut out family distraction by getting help with cleaning and letting everyone know your hours of work.

Out of everything I listed though to make a better balance of life and play take those days off and make time for everyone important in your life. If you are like me a typical day working on blogs consist of a couple hours. I also do surveys, a bit of transcription and reviewing. Adding this up almost daily could be 3 or 4 hours gone. I find if I overwork I get stressed, especially since I have an offline job,

Getting organized shouldn't be a challenge but if you need help along the way you can find lots of research that outlines good tips.

At some point we all will face distractions with working at home and hiccups with the organization process. Don't let any of it scare you, we are human and as humans we are suppose to make mistakes.
