A GOOD CONTENT WRITER FOLLOWS THESE CARDINAL RULES Every piece of content that goes into a website should be a well thought-out, expansive yet concise article. Writers who had enough time to practice their craft can stack these three things and come up with something readers will be encouraged to share. When looking for resources, think blogs and not Buzzfeed. Their articles might get attention, but it lacks a tone of professionalism that businesses prefer. To the beginners in content writing, there is nothing worse than being told broad instructions on how to write. Some like that “think outside the box” one, while others prefer the “make it interesting.” Senior writers, however, follow some cardinal rules that help them expand or limit their topics and articles:

1. Sticking to the Facts If there is anything that could downgrade an article, it is madeup things. Many writers are guilty of this, especially passing opinions as facts. Internet connection is abundantly available today, so there should be no reason for any writer to fail in fact checking their work.


1. Sticking to the Facts

2. Length of Content Never overstretch a topic that can be discussed in 150 words. On the other hand, do not pass a 250-word content for a highly complex topic. A 300 to 500-word article is a standard for content writing as it is long enough to provide information and the writer has space to make the article more compelling. 3. Titles – Short and Sweet Search engines recognized 70-character titles best, and any writer should abide by that rule. After all, it should not be long to not bore the reader. 4. Current and Relevant Each industry and field of interest has developed massively in the last few years. Thus, articles about architecture, food or technology must contain the latest trend to hook in more readers. To achieve constant knowledge, one must do what other people with great minds did: read, read and read some more. 5. Reader-Friendly Writing Be uncomplicated, entertaining and easy to read. Getting loyal readers is as close to sure business any writer can get. Being wary of grammatical errors, sentence structure and flow will help catch errors and make a better article. The more credibility a writer gets, the more readers will start to recognize his or her work. It will take time and many revisions, but any writer who works hard enough will become a master of content writing. Do not be afraid of mistakes and take whatever criticisms that comes with it as an opportunity for improvement.
