2. Brush Up on the Basics
Before you can
start writing
incredible content,
you’ll need at least
an intermediate
understanding of
the basic principles
of writing.
3. Write Like It’s Your Job
If you want to get
better at something,
you have to practice
– and writing is no
exception.
Unfortunately, there
are few shortcuts
that can transform
you into an amazing
writer overnight.
4. Read Like It’s Your Job
The best writers are
also keen readers, and
reading on a regular
basis is an easy way to
start developing your
writing skills.
5. Find a Writing Partner
If you work at a
reasonably sized
company, the
chances are
pretty good that
there is at least
one other
person who also
secretly harbors
a desire to
become a better
writer.
6. Join a Workshop or Take a Night Class
Most people balk at
the idea of standing
in front of a room
full of strangers and
baring their soul to
the world, but
joining a writing
workshop can be
immensely
beneficial – and a
lot of fun
7. Remember That Outlines Are Your Friend
The blinking cursor of
a blank page is a
considerable foe,
even for the most
experienced writers.
Before putting pen to
proverbial paper,
sketch out an outline
of what you plan to
write.
8. Find a Good (Patient) Editor
Whether you’re
trying to make the
case for a content
strategy to your
manager or want to
start guest blogging
on your favorite
sites.
