INVEST TIME IN READING AND WATCHING TRAINING VIDEOS;

When I finally gather courage that I want to become a writer, this was my first step. A good content writer will invest good time in reading educating books, watching inspiring videos that can give more knowledge about topics that can be useful in creating content for your write-up. You can visit a different professional website like Wealthy Affiliate, Udemy HubSpot, Skillshare, etcetera for much interesting training and research.

CREATING PROFESSIONAL PROFILE;

If you are new to this job, you need to create a profile for yourself so that you can get a permanent job in any content creating category. This will serve as the best preparation that will help you get an opportunity from any content writing platform. The first steps in your profile must contain the biography that will serve as a quality and authentic description of yourself. It must contain a high-quality image of yourself and must be a credibility booster.

ERECT YOUR WRITING PORTFOLIO;

This is a very important tip. A lot of efforts are put into writing these days through different social media platforms. This is easier even without any good writing experience. If you can write quotes and birthday wishes on any of these platforms, I see no reason why you cannot create good contents for your blog. Most freelancers started their writing mission on social media platform before they proceed in creating an account with either content promoter, medium or publication platform. These are professional platforms that are mostly used by official writers. Ensure you build up your strong writing profile on medium, Reddit, publication etcetera. This can serve as a means of building your reputation and can lure traffic to your blog. This can also be a saver during any content related interview.

PICK A CORRECT NICHE

The successful writers make sure they choose the correct niche for their blog. They blog about what they know very well and so much admire. These allow them to give the best services for themselves and their clients. I understand quite well that it isn't easy to get the correct niche at once. It can be a bit challenging but getting the correct niche will save you in reaching deadlines. Some niches require years of experience before you can write on them because writing as a layman might not move your readers. Go for the niche you understand which can bring out expert in you.

FINDING A CONTENT WRITING JOB;

This is directed to a freelance writer after you might have followed the above guidelines. You are ready to face your first job as a content writer but you have no idea where you can get the job. You can start your job search from the job site, freelance writing sites, and social media. Many companies are out there working solely on a content basis. A lot of websites are looking for writers or sheriff who can help them create content for many purposes. In some cases, it is best to reach out to companies or websites directly and make a professional request from them to offer writing contracts. However, you can reach out to some places like content writing companies, marketing agencies, magazine or other companies that are into creating contents that are useful for their organization. You don’t actually need many clients to become a full-time content writer, many successful writer today are not working with many clients and they made it to the peak. What is useful is a reliable and understanding clients that are cool to work with.
