How to write Quality Content?

How to write quality content? Like I made my first blog and realised how BAD I am at writing.. How can I improve? If you outsource your stuff, do you do it from upwork or fiverr. And if you fiverr lets be honest, fiverr your not gonna get anything good.

This isn't just about QUALITY. It's content in general, I am just bad at writing. Maybe it's the fact that I talk to a lot of my friends online via chatting and I am not required to type stuff which makes sense so I just type really bad, grammar and sentence structure are out of the window lol.

    First off, great job on getting started learning how to create linkable content.

    My best advice to help you improve your writing is to read high quality posts in your niche a few hours a day. Then you can practice your writing by posting thoughtful comments on those posts. Sooner or later you start to get the hang of it.

    You could also start writing buyer personas for your site. Those will be important tools to help you figure out the content you need to write. But also it will give you some practice writing.

    Good luck!

      First off i want to congratulate to start the content writing
      A chef needs to learn chopping, sautéing, roasting, and grilling. She needs to understand what makes a meal nutritious and how to select dishes that taste well together. She needs to practice separating eggs, making roti, and cutting a perfect carrot flower.

      Cooking mini-skills are pretty clear.

      But writing mini-skills seem fuzzier.

      Feeling overwhelmed?

      Disentangling writing skills isn't as hard as you think. You can practice them one by one--just like you can practice kneading, mixing, and grinding
      The 9 techniques below are the chopping, boiling, and frying of writing.

      Practice each mini-skill one by one:

      Learn how to write good sentences-- a sparkling sentence is the basic ingredient of good writing.
      Become more conversational by including questions in your writing.
      Study how to choose flavored words; and learn how to avoid bland phrases that make your writing tasteless and yuck.
      Compose smooth transitions so readers glide from sentence to sentence, and from paragraph to paragraph.
      Experiment with your voice by changing punctuation and adding a dynamic rhythm.
      Create a mesmerizing flow by outlining or reverse-outlining your content.
      Practice writing soundbites that linger in your reader's minds.
      Cook up fresh metaphors to make abstract concepts concrete and entertaining.
      Play with mini-stories to engage your readers.
      Practice your basic writing skills like a sushi chef practices filleting fish. Practice more, and writing becomes a joy.

  • Most of the work I do is content writing, so I may be a little biased here.

    If you're going to hire from a platform, use Upwork but be selective about who you go with. Pick someone who's a native speaker and has the confidence to ask for more than your posted budget.

    Factor that in to your budget when you make the post.

    It's a good way to get a good writer for much less than you'd think. I haunt freelance writer forums, and I can say one thing: most writers either aren't getting paid as much as they're saying or they're not working very much. You can find plenty of good to great writers on Upwork for fairly low prices.

    If you want to do it yourself, then there's a few things to keep in mind:
    1. Content isn't literature, but syntax and grammar are key. Use Grammarly if you're unsure of yourself.
    2. Use short paragraphs and be selective about use of bold and italics. Visually optimized content is easy to read.
    3. Proper formatting goes a long way. Short sentences, small paragraphs, bullets, that sort of thing.
    4. Most web content isn't very good, but a lot of it still converts. Most people who can string together a few coherent sentences can do better than an outsourced writer you're paying .5c/word.

    Other than that?

    Practice. Lots of it.

    The answer is to write more and
    read more. Last year I wrote 7000
    words a week on average.

    I also read 2-3 books a week in a wide
    variety of genre's.

    Do likewise and you'll see a marked
    improvement in your writing abilities, in
    a very short space of time.

      Exactly,

      Keep reading, especially on the topic you want to write about.

      Everything from blog posts, to regular books, to magazines.

      And keep writing--the more you write the better you will get at it.

      Hope this helps

    Do some research before you start writing. Search your niche sites and find the blog section over there, it will give an idea how the other writers write. Also, you can use some tools to make sure your content is clean (spelling and grammar).

    Ditto to both of these answers.. it's ironic in a way, but in my experience the best way by far to become a competent professional writer is to read more books and put more words to paper.

    With few exceptions the best writers in history were also the most prolific. In his book "On Writing", Stephen King talks about the importance of doing the daily grind, and says you should aim to write a minimum of 1000 words a day on whatever you're doing.

    Interestingly he rarely spoke about the art of writing and really harped on about the ethic of writing, and was very clear that some days writing was a chore, and some days it was a pleasure, but either way, he didn't get up from his desk until he'd finished his 1000 words.

    For more on this check out rules 17, 18, 20, & 21 here.

    Also, bear in mind a quote from Hemingway - "Write Drunk, Edit Sober"

    Your first drafts will almost always contain a lot of crap. The best writers are cool with this and write everything that comes to mind without filtering or editing. The true test of a great writer is his or her ability to go back over the draft text and really craft the writing to ensure the message is clear and the style is as engaging and interesting as possible.

    So, in a nutshell:

    1. Read as many quality books by great authors as you can.
    2. Listen to Mr King and write at least 1000 words per day regardless of whether you want to or not
    3. Take Hemingway's advice and become a great editor.

    Hi there,

    The best way to improve your writing skills is to READ. Read books from fiction to non-fiction, check out blogs and articles that belong to your niche. Watching and listening also contribute to enhanced writing skills in general. Just explore more on all things blogging! Then, you'll be able to adopt what you have learned, read, heard and watched. And naturally, you'll just be good in blogging.

    After which, just write articles during your free time. The topic is something you are passionate about. Something that makes you happy. Then if you think it passes your test, have people read it as well!

    If you need somebody to evaluate your article, just msg me your work, and I'll be glad to do it for free.

    Good luck!

    You need to practice and practice. Read well written articles in magazines, blogs and articles. Study their styles closely. Let grammar and spell check tools be your friend. If you do decide to go the Fiverr route, make sure you ask for a writing sample. And resist the temptation of going for the lowest offers: you'll only get crap!

    This is tough. Writing good content isn't easy. It's just as much of an art as it is science.

    You say that part of the reason you feel you're not a good writer is because you spend too much time casually talking with friends and not using formal structure. I would caution you against going too formal. For most websites, a casual approach to writing is ideal. You don't want to come off as an Encylopedia, because that will only turn people away. The most important element to good content, in my opinion, is creating something that is engaging. Something that really catches the reader's eye so they stick around to the end. You're only going to accomplish this with a friendly or casual approach. Don't confuse it with sloppy, though. You still need to be grammatically correct.

    My next big tip.......pictures, statistics, bullet points, takeaways, etc. Provide something at a very high level that readers can identify very quickly after opening. If you just blast them with a giant wall of text, you're going to lose readers - fast.

    Writing good content is more about style than it is grammar or formalities, imo. There's a reason we call it content and not "text".

    Hey,
    Fantasy Cloud, its good that you are trying your best to write a good blog but don't worry you need a little bit practice with some tactics and one day you will become a good blogger for sure.

    First you need to

    Set your Goals - Goal setting will give you the answer of three W's: why, who and what like-:

    Why are you creating content?

    For whom are you creating it?

    What do you want to achieve from this?

    Next Step Is - Do Research If you are not able to provide a solution to your customers means you are redirecting them to the competitors who have a better solution. So, do through research to make strategies, which help you convert the audience into loyal fans.

    Promote as much as you can - you can't judge yourself if others will read you blog only then you can find whether it is good or bad. For Promotion you will need some good tactics like promoting with social sites or emails any many other methods. You can check out different methods for here

    Re-Purpose, Improve and Increase - it's the time to make sure you do not miss the opportunities and successfully re-purpose the content.

    All The Best For Your Next Blog

    I would recommend checking out some great content writers and try to emulate their style.

    I always enjoyed reading content written by Perrin who was a student of Spencer Hawes on his niche pursuits blog. You can read some of Perrins posts here: http://www.nichepursuits.com/projects/a-penny-shaved/

    I believe Perrin wrote a blog post about how to write great content which I think you will find very helpful. You should be able to find it using the link above.

    There is a lot to learn and when starting out you don't know what you don't know! Google things like proper paragraph structure and thesis statements, writing styles and correct grammar.

    I definitely recommend having a read of Perrins writing at least, he is a very entertaining writer.

    I talk to a lot of my friends online via chatting
    That tells me you are able to express yourself with words...it's the writing/typing that trips you up.

    Make it easy on yourself. Do one of two things:

    Hire writers - some decent writers offer their service on the forum (check out the 'for hire' section here). No, I wouldn't recommend Fiverr....

    OR

    Get some speech to text software (Dragon Naturally Speaking is one but there are others) - and TALK your articles and blog posts just as you would talk to your friends. Works like a charm and cheaper than paying for content.

    I can only echo what has already been said:

    Read more.
    Write more.
    Edit more.

    Consider hiring an editor to look over your work after you're done. Pay attention to the changes they make so you won't make the same mistakes over and over.

    Kay's suggestion will also work. Use speech to text and then edit.

    It always helps to have a second pair of eyes look over your work before you post. They can catch the things you miss. This is true not only of grammatical errors but also when you're simply not being clear.

    Don't try to write fancy prose. Think of it as writing an email to a friend. Focus on making your point concise and easy to understand.

    In addition to the suggestions already given, I would add:

    Use a simple outline to begin. It doesn't matter if you're writing a 400 word blog post or a 200 page book.

    An outline helps to organize your thoughts, put them in a logical and natural sequence, make transitions from one topic to the next, and it gives coherence and structure to your overall end result.

    The more detailed the outline, the less you have to think about "what comes next" in your writing. In addition, if you're writing a report, ebook or and e-course, the outline can serve as the basis for a nice table of contents.

    The best to you in your writing,

    Hey,

    1. I would always start with creating some great great sub headlines. You want them to be scannable and to tell the desired story without reading the whole post.

    2. Fill out the paragraphs with short sentences and plenty of paragraphs, just making it easy on the eyes for the reader.

    3. Read great content from the pro's in your niche. Make a 'Swipe File' (meaning keep a file of great pieces of content you like, so you can go in to help you create your own pieces.)

    4. When you're finished. Copy and paste your content into This Nifty Free Software called Hemmingway.

    All the best!

    Okay so first of all,

    Congratulation on your first blog
    post!
    Don't feel bad about yourself
    it's the first one, it is never good as
    we want it to be (the fact of the matter is that
    no matter how much we write it will never be perfect
    as we want it to be,
    but it will get better and better that's for sure.)

    Well, If you want to improve writing
    skills and get better you must read
    a lot of books and blog posts (from the great
    one's in your niche) and one of the most important
    thing is to practice only by action you get
    want need's to be done and what's not.

    Udemy has some good writing courses. Youtube is also good if you are poor. Start small and then slowly grow. I have found a few good writers on FIVE errors. Most are high school English teachers that retired years ago. They have a lot of time on their hands and need a bit of green. Well, you know what we mean.

    Please remember the following:
    • Keep your sentences short and crisp.
    • Add some intriguing images.
    • Proofreaders show look over your copy.
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[10986468].message }}
  • I agree with the read more advice but don't read passively, by this I mean actually read others and your blogs out loud. See how it flows or doesn't then note why you think that is, then research your theories. There is a ton of online information and classes you can find. Sites like Courseca that offer classes online that the information is free are great.
    The option to use transcription software might be a good path as you claim you speak more and thus better then you write. If you need something quickly then outsourcing is a path but to truly write content that will have value it needs to come from you, so you will have to put in the time.

    As with any skill you want to develop you have to practice it. Writing is no different. If you want to get really good you'll have to practice a lot. There's no way around it unless you are going to get someone better than you to write it for you.

    Write every single day. Make up topics and write about them just make sure you write a lot. The more you write the better you'll become.

  • Why bother writing if writing's not your thing?

    You could look at posting podcasts that you've recorded or videos that you've made, rather than putting it all down in text...

    Actually...

    You could make videos and then extract the audio from the video and use that as your podcasts - you now have 2 products from one without doing any extra work!

    If you're truly lazy you could take the transcript of the video (I think YT does a transcript as a matter of course - untested) and then use that as your blog post. But be aware that the transcripts can be terrible if you mumble or don't speak clearly so they may need quite a bit of reworking.

    I see a lot of people who make one very big mistake...they pick a niche they know nothing about (or have zero interest in) just because they feel it is...Profitable. Big mistake.

    Pick a niche you are knowledgeable in already or are in the process of learning. And pick it because you have a very big interest in it.

    Write for value first and money second.

    I have a few suggestions:

    1. You don't HAVE to write. Instead of writing, you can do videos! Or podcast!

    2. Surround your embedded video with some simple text, it really doesn't have to be great copywriting.

    3. Study copywriting and email marketing books and courses. (Open, Click, Buy for example)

    4. Read the best email marketers email (Igor Keifets, Ben Settle) and study all their stuff.

    5. Practice writing emails and articles, but don't publish them. You don't even really have to finish them, but try to write one per day.

    6. Practice writing BULLET POINTS.

    7. Practice writing HEADLINES.

    These are probably the best way to quickly improve your writing skills.

    I read a lot, especially newspapers and professional blogs. English is my second language, and sometimes I feel that sentence structure is a lot more important than the grammar. I've noticed it numerous times on different professional blogs and even in various newspaper's articles... So, I'd say, try to read as much as you can. And, you can get quality service through Fiverr as well, at least I'd good experience.

    Tons of great tips here. I'd like to thank everyone who contributed.

    If I may contribute something....

    From my experience, you need to write your blog posts for SOCIAL MEDIA appeal

    Pay attention to the type of content that gets shared a lot on social media

    Use the same format

    Use the same angle

    Use a similar voice

    Also, WRITE to be SCANNED not read - this means you shouldn't assume your visitors will stick around to read your personal version of Tolstoy's War & Peace.

    Write using TOPICAL questions. This helps in getting more AD CLICKS.

    Content is the king of a website. While writing contents you should more focus on the topic and go deeper as much as you can. If you don't have that much knowledge on that topic, then search for it on the web and go through it. Use 'Grammarly' tool and learn your mistakes from it and try to correct those in your next content.

  • Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone is bad at first, but you can always be better.
    And everyone is right, reading your preferred niche is always good to get more information, then you can try to practice writing what you have learned so far.

    Maybe it will help if you make a outline of information that you want to include in the writing, that way you will not lost in thought and have clearer guideline

    There are many kinds of writing style that you can actually use. You said you talk to a lot of friends online via chatting, this can actually be use as your writing style for now.
    Just write as if you are talking to your friends, tell them the information that you want to share in the outline. Don't mind the grammar this can always be edit later after you finish.

    Do this as practice, then you can try other writing style to eventually find your own style.

    Always keep a stack of good ideas up your sleeve
    Nothing wastes a writers time more than sitting down to write and not knowing what you want to say.
    If a deadline is looming, youre just stuck in that chair until inspiration strikes. This is a major time-waster. That pressure to deliver a great post idea right now also inhibits creativity for many writers.
    If youre writing content the same day you need it to go up, you sacrifice one of the most powerful tools for improving your writing: The chance to read it again tomorrow before you click send.

      I can definitely agree with this wholeheartedly. In my early years I would fall victim to this. Over time now, if an idea pops up in my head I open up the ole trusty notepad and record those thoughts for future fodder

    You need to know what you are writing about and maybe take a online writing training class or something.

    First and foremost your not gonna write epic content at the very start. I haven't seen any of the top bloggers like Darren Rowse Jeffbullas to name a few jump in and hit gold right away.Thirdly write about subject matters that you have experienced in your day to day living. write content to solve issues . Lastly, try to edit your post before posting.
