What is a content writer?

A content writer is the one who produces engaging content for online use. The topics to write about vary depending on your client's demands. In my case, I write a lot of stuff ranging from fashion and toys and gift ideas to travel and cool gadgets, and a few more.

Being a content writer doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in the field for years. Even those without professional experience can still be a content writer as long as you have what it takes to be one. What are these?

  • You have a passion for writing. This is important because it would be hard to apply for a job that you have no passion for. If you think you're not good enough because English isn't your first language, don't worry because there are online applications that you can use for free that will help you out with your grammar and other important stuff.

  • Must be efficient in Google research. As a content writer, you don't need to write an entire topic by yourself. Once your client will send you a certain topic, your next step is to research it on Google. The problem is, you'll see tons of similar results, and that can be tough for people who do the job for the first time. The best way to determine which source to use is to find the article that is more relevant to your topic and choose the most recent one, especially when it comes to fashion and gadgets.

  • Knows the basic techniques in writing. You have the topic from your client, did all the research, and now, you have the source, so what's next? I don't know about some of you here, but in my case, I would copy the entire article (minus the not so relevant topics) and start paraphrasing everything to make it look like a whole new 100% unique article.

To paraphrase, you need to:

  • Change the words (for example, change the word beautiful to lovely, cute to adorable, etc)

  • Change the sentence structure

  • Break a long sentence into a small one

  • Combine short ones

  • Expand phrases for clarity

  • Can proofread your own work. Luckily, there are tons of ready-to-use grammar checker tools you can use online. My favorite of all is Grammarly. This free writing app helps you detect any grammatical errors as well as making your online writing clear and effective.

  • Knows how to check for plagiarism. In writing, you must make sure that your article is not plagiarized. Even if you've written the article from scratch, there will always be a possibility that your work could match up with something that is already been published online.

    Fortunately, there are many free plagiarism tools you can use online. My favorites are Grammarly, Plagiarism Detector, and Search Engine Reports. I use all three of these to ensure that my articles are 100% plagiarize-free.

    I highly recommend you to use at least two because some plagiarism checkers aren't as consistent as the others. Meaning, your article may be plagiarized-free in Grammarly but not in other tools like Plagiarism Detector, for instance.

Platforms for writing

Here are some of the best platforms you can try:

Why should you apply as a content writer?

  • Additional income.

  • Helps improve your writing skills.

  • Allows you to learn new things.

If you manage to write an article on read.cash with at least 600 words in it, then I'm sure working as a content writer won't be a problem for you.

Good, try to deduce whatever you did to get revoked. Try not to do that again or build your rank so that when you do it it won't matter.

No, thats not how my advice goes. I mean just know or decipher what went wrong by reflecting on your 10 most recent actions on the account then you'll learn what not to do on the next account. I don't advice you email them. Just do you and do your thing, such a beautiful writers mind πŸ˜‹

I think the best places to write and earn are the decentralized platforms like LeoFinance/HIVE and maybe read.cash - who knows?

There's only one problem with paraphrasing, many blogs that hire content writer refuses paraphrased content. You may do it in a way they won't know but that also needs skill on its own.

Paraphrasing on your own is I think okay.. But some freelancers would use an article spinner or a paraphrasing tool to make their life easier, which is a no-no to most clients. When it comes to paraphrasing, one should do it manually and not with the use of any tools.

You should try it. The only problem with Upwork is you need to impress them first before you get your application approved.
