of the most common questions that I ask, and because this industry is generating good income today, and we lack good writers, here are 4 basic steps to start creating content.
1- Start with even a piece of pickle: People usually waste months in the stages of reading and learning about any field without starting in it, until you start creating content, you must move from the stage of acquaintance to the actual start, that is, start with anything in front of you and available in your hands.
Write daily anywhere, Facebook page, blog, guest blogging sites, anything, write about anything you can think of, whether daily situations that happened with you, your opinions and analyzes, poetic thoughts. Important to start.
2- Read: Reading constitutes your repertoire of vocabulary and styles. Read voraciously and read as a writer, not as a reader. And read about the areas that you want to enter from the content industry. If you want to be a blogger, read on blogging. Or an advertisement writer, read ads, or social media accounts, read what they publish.
Reading is of two types, literary reading, which is not the field of our conversation today, and critical reading is looking into the eyes of the writer who examines everything. Did you notice how it started? How did you formulate the title? If I told you, for example, (how to start creating content), it wouldn't interest you, but when you specified that in (4 steps), it became interesting and pushed you to read until you got here.
Watch what the writer does while reading to him, how he begins, divides paragraphs, moves between them, and concludes his writing. Watch every little detail.
You should be an avid reader, read anything you can see - websites, articles, social media accounts, newsletters, and script texts.
3- Commitment and Continuity: It is not enough to write once, or read two articles, you must commit to and continue with this work, for a start it is appropriate to write once a week, and I advise three times a week, develop a plan for periodic publication and commit to implementing it. Repetition improves your style, writing like a muscle requires a long and continuous exercise.
4- Offer, volunteer, and participate with communities: After you have come a long way with founding, start joining communities in your field of interest, whether following pages, social media accounts, mailings, or joining groups ... etc. Do not be shy about offering the possibility to volunteer in writing. This is the first test. Yours to appear to a new audience of readers.
Personally, I went through all these stages 12 years ago, and I can confirm that they are still valid today, and by applying them, you can enter the content industry to work as a writer and later with other jobs in editing.
A person who no longer has a homeland takes writing as a home in which to reside.
