Becoming a Better Writer Has Never Been Easier

Image
Are you a writer, an aspiring writer? Or just another person who can scribble words but not qualified to be called a professional writer? If you’ve ever asked yourself that question, you’re not alone. Many people write, few truly understand what it means to be a writer. Let’s fix that. What Being a Writer Means Being a writer goes far beyond putting words on paper or typing on a screen. A writer is defined by routines. It’s the discipline of showing up even when motivation is absent, the responsibility of reading consistently so you can develop a clear voice and writing style. It’s the conscious ability to find inspiration in places where a regular person sees nothing and choosing consistency over convenience. Real writers prioritize quality and audience over quantity and money. They understand that impact matters more than speed. They are intentional about growth, deliberate about practice, and patient with progress. Writing is not random, it is structured effort repeated daily. That’...

WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF A WEB CONTENT WRITER?

WHAT ARE THE DUTIES OF A WEB CONTENT WRITER? The majority of writers online identify as content writers — probably out of the need to belong, or ignorance of the different sub-niches that exist within content writing.  And when I see such generalists with their social media presence justifying nothing as a content writer, I find myself asking, “Are you even a writer?” For writers like myself who have found a way to identify our place in content writing, trust me… the clarity and sense of purpose it brings along is everything. As a web content writer, it can sometimes be confusing — whether you are more of a content writer or a copywriter, whether or not you want to focus on writing blogs, at the same time you want to be addressed as a web content writer — and not just a blog writer… because you think, feel and believe you are more than that. Recently, during a mentorship gig I had earlier this year. I rediscovered myself, figured out other aspects of web content writing I haven't ...

Can’t find what to write? You’re not lacking Ideas — Here’s what you’re missing

Image
Let's face it... Writer’s block is a common term in the content world. You hear people say “I just don’t know what to write” or “I’m stuck” and they wave it off as writer’s block. But here’s my take…. Writer’s block is not a lack of ideas. It’s mostly a struggle to continue writing a piece or articulate thoughts clearly. When it comes to generating ideas, there’s no scarcity.  In fact, the real challenge is overabundance. So many ideas are flying around, we don’t know which to pick, what to start with, or how to develop it. “How do you get content ideas?” That’s one question I’ve had to answer a lot lately. It usually comes from writers—beginners and even experienced ones who are stuck not because there’s nothing to write, but because they haven’t found a system that works for them. So in this article, I’m sharing three of the best methods I’ve used to generate content ideas consistently, across blog posts, social media, and even when ghostwriting for others. But before we get int...

10 marketing mistakes to avoid as a business owner in Nigeria.

Image
  Building and scaling a business in Nigeria can sometimes seem like a possibility reserved for only the elite, the wise, and the wealthy. But what if I tell you your undoings are the reason why your business isn't growing — hence the reason why you think only a small group of people have what it takes to build and scale a business to great heights? For what it is, the buzz and trends of social media have made us believe that for you to get more customers and improve sales — which is the heartbeat of a business, all you have to do is post consistently on social media. From observation, experience, and studies, I have found out that THIS IS WRONG. In this article, I outline, in my opinion, and based on research, the most common marketing mistakes that emerging and small businesses, and medium-scale businesses, make— and sadly, repeatedly. Let's dive in. Shall we?  1. Lack or shortage of identity content Imagine meeting a young man on the streets of Lekki phase 1, well dressed,...

In today's crowded digital space, simply wanting to be a writer isn't enough. Anyone can slap a bio on their social media and declare themselves a wordsmith.
