What Is Content Writing?

Content writing is the process of planning, writing, and editing web content, typically for digital marketing purposes. It can include writing blog posts and articles, scripts for videos and podcasts, as well as content for specific platforms, such as tweetstorms on Twitter or text posts on Reddit.

Why Is Proper Content Writing Important?

When most people hear “content writing”, they think “writing articles”.

However, writing content isn’t just important for blog posts.

In fact, content writing is important for all types of different content formats, including:

  • Video scripts
  • Email newsletters
  • Keynote speeches
  • Social media posts
  • Podcast titles
  • White papers
  • Web page copy
  • Landing pages
  • YouTube video descriptions
  • Here are a few tips to make your content more trustworthy.

    • Use proper grammar: If you want to improve your writing skills, a tool like Hemingway Editor or Grammarly can be a huge help.
    • Do your homework: Research and references show that you know what you’re talking about.
    • First-hand experience: Report on things you have personal experience with. Why? Content written by subject matter experts is super rare. Unfortunately, most people hire random freelance writers on Upwork. And it shows. But when you write content that shows off your actual experience, your content is much easier for a random visitor to trust.
    • Give it a Magnetic Headline and Introduction

      Most visitors only spend 15 seconds reading an article before leaving. With such a short window of time, your headline and introduction are incredibly important.

      Here’s how to create headlines and intros that work:

      • Headlines between 14-17 words do best in terms of getting shares, as discovered in a study of 900 million articles.
