Colons and semicolons are like non-identical twins. 👬 Though they might look somewhat similar, these two punctuation marks serve completely different functions. A content writer might see both as 👵old-fashioned👴 and unnecessary. After all, in content writing, we aim for efficient and conversational writing . So, a content writer would reason: Why use a semicolon when you can use a period? Why use a colon when you can use an em dash? Nonetheless, there are several instances where it makes sense to use these two punctuation marks. This is especially true if you are not just a content writer, but also interested in writing reports, white papers, academic texts 👓, or books📚 . So what's the main difference between the two? Semicolons typically join two main clauses. 🤝 While colons can combine two independent clauses, they are typically used to join independent clauses with a list or noun. For example, Semicolon use: The weather was awesome; however, he chose to stay home. Colon use: There are only three men left: David, Jack, and James.

Six things you should never do as a content writer! Yes, it's in your bio. Content writer, Digital marketer, Consultant, blah-blah-blah, etcetera, etcetera. But you can never be a full-fledged content writer if you do these six things. One, Forget to write! How could you?!!! A writer is someone who writes. So you can't be a writer without writing. Forget about perfection... For now. Pick up that pen, or open that app, and just start writing. It doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't have to be excellent. You can always revise it later. But at every opportunity you have, write something down. Don't wait for inspiration, for advice or for an assignment. Don't wait for a weekly reminder. You already have one. Write. Write and write again. Not only are you grooming yourself, you never know what your next big hit will be. Two, Look down on ideas... I have to say this again. Do you think that story in your head is not what the time or the ink? Shut that voice up. Write it down first. You'll decide later if it makes sense. Don't put if off till later.... You might never get back that inspiration again. Don't think it's not new so it isn't note-worthy. A lot of things you see today are simply remade stew. You can add the extra spice, but first write. Like I said before, you never know what your next big hit will be. Three, Think you can't write! Who said so?! Everyone knows how to write. You probably just need some more training, and that's perfectly fine. You can send me a DM now to book a one-on-one coaching session or sign up for my annual writing class. You could also download ebooks that teach you how to write better, watch videos, read articles... Or simply observe and practice. There's so much you can do. Don't beat up yourself up thinking you're not good enough. Start something. You don't cook noodles without first getting a pot. (I cooked that up... Get it? 😁) Start small, build big. You'll be glad you did. .... These are just three of the sacrilegious sins a content writer can ever commit. I'll tell you the remaining three tomorrow. But let me know, how much of a content writer are you? Are you a saintly one or a not so saintly one? 🤭 I'll be in the comments section. Besides, is there any other sin that a content writer should never commit? Please let me know. Maybe I need to repent too. Yours truly, writing, singing, performing, speaking, learning, trying to stay sinless being a content writer, and many more, Dorcas Nwaeke.

AI can write much better than Rs.1/word writers. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. Yes, getting 'underpaid' is a thing. But, the writing industry is evolving too quickly for most writers to keep up. That's why many keep working in an underpaid environment. You must upgrade your game to get noticed by Rs.10/word clients. 5 years ago, most clients wanted: → Affiliate articles → Unsolicited gigs → Bulk writing orders → No content strategy → Jack-of-all-trades writers Now, they need: → Consultations → Business articles → Result-based performance → 3 to 6-months content strategy → Engaging content that drives conversion Clients are becoming smarter. So should you. You don't increase your price by ranting on social media about it. You do it by upskilling and moving on to better clients.

Great copyediting and proofreading processes have become an appreciable tool for content writers because they speak of professionalism and increase the comprehensibility of the content provided. It just keep your content more attractive and easy to read, while editing check grammatical and spelling mistakes. To succeed, one should write for a certain amount of time and then take a rest in order to achieve a fresh vision of the text; it is better to avoid complex constructions and use simple language and provoking connection. In proofreading, try to slow yourself down, read your work aloud, use the tools effectively, typing your work and focus on one type of error only at any given time. Cultivating these skills increases your effectiveness and reliability as a speaker besides making your communicated message to be well understood by the target group. #contentwriting #writing #blogging #freelancing #linkedin #proofread #editting
