4 Content Writing Tips and Tricks from My Experience







I have been writing since 2012 and got into content writing in 2019, while I was at college studying for my degree in Psychology. As a child, I loved reading books and thinking about the different characters and places in books. My interest in creative writing, which involves writing stories, poems and scripts got me into content writing. I started working as a content writer (part-time) and a copywriter (part-time). I also worked and continue to offer content writing services on Fiverr. Here are some of the tips and tricks I learned from my content writing journey.


Allocate Time To Write Every Day

Learning to write is like learning to play an instrument. It takes practice. The best way to actually get good at it is to start doing it.  While watching tutorials and taking online classes are important steps towards mastering the art of content writing, it is important to put what you learned to practice. Making writing a habit will help you improve as a writer and become a better writer. Have a time that you do nothing but write. Put aside your phone or tablet and start typing!

Read Blogs and Articles Online

A simple google search for ‘the best articles online’ or ‘the best blogs online’ will help you discover well-written content that you can read to get inspired and learn from while reading them. Make time to read something everyday. It is commonly agreed among writers of all kinds (fiction, non-fiction, bloggers and other content creators), that the more we spend time reading the better we get at writing.

Edit Your Writing Meticulously 

I know how it feels to edit. Trust me, I’m not a big fan of it either. But if you want to make your writing shine, editing is the way to go about it! You need to take time to read through your writing and find mistakes as well as ways to make an already written piece better. 

Have a Blog of Your Own

Starting your own blog will help you to become better at writing. It will also help you to develop as a writer and maintain consistency in your writing routine. There are many free blogging platforms available online such as Wix, Blogger and Wordpress.org. Just get started. Don’t worry about being judged or criticized. There is a reason why there are more critiques than doers in this world!


If you have no time to work on your blog or write your stories, poems and scripts, please feel free to reach out to me on Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/drcarmel

How to become a writer

As a writer in 2012, I started my journey while I was stuck with my A levels, doing biology that I didn't enjoy very much. I wouldn't say I liked it. As an outlet, I used to write poetry. I was depressed, so most of my poetry was dark and depressing as well. But then I read J K Rowling's story. Her life was a lot like mine, as I, too, was an avid reader just like her and loved writing good stories. I enjoyed writing stories as it gave me relief and helped me appreciate myself very much. I loved to write fantasy and read fantasy. I spent my time slipping into my worlds and making up stories and backstories for my heroes and heroines. Some might say that I was trying to escape my problems. But I would like to say otherwise. I learned a lot. I took courses on Coursera and learned more and more about writing. I also took classes on youtube by renowned fantasy authors such as Brandon Sanderson. I devoured books, especially books on writing. I enjoyed reading about how authors st

What I learned as a 24 year old

We see what we want to see!  Often, in life, when making decisions and taking our choices into account, we know what we choose to see. We don't focus on the whole picture but instead focus on things that seem to stand out, especially what we consider to be flaws and defects. When we are busy looking for what is wrong, we often miss out on everything right. Focusing wholly on the negative aspects of things is one of the root causes of our unhappiness.  Don't compare yourself! We compare ourselves. Rather than focusing on what we already have and how to build on what we've got, we look for things that we don't have and think, "how lucky they are. They have everything I ever wanted." The item you might not be seeing is what these so-called people you admire or envy even might not have or might have gone through to have to be able to possess these things. Perhaps they worked hard to get what they wanted. Also, if they have something, such as being born into a weal
