What I am about to explain is how to Write Content – which includes valuable tips with examples. So remember to read every single point –
If you do, you will definitely notice the difference in your writing! So let’s get going ->
1. Remove your limits:
Reduce your subject to a single core word and then brainstorm around it. Let’s take an example, if you’re trying to write about “Study Skills”, expand your thinking to “School”. Now jot down everything that comes to mind when you think about School, and when you run out of ideas start asking yourself open questions around the subject and noting your answers. For e.g.
What did I enjoy about school?
What scared me?
What did I wish I’d known from Day 1? This will help you get back into the mindset of someone struggling with school issues of all kinds and you’ll start to get a feel for their concerns and worries.
2. Restore your focus:
Once you’ve started to understand the feelings of your readers, allow your mind to focus back on your original topic of Study Skills. From your new perspective, what questions would you ask?
What would you want to know?
Is this really a “Studying” issue or is it more about Time Management or being able to work without distractions or being paralyzed by the fear of not doing well?
3. Be your audience:
Write each question on a separate sheet of paper; don’t stop until you have at least ten and preferably more. Stay in the mindset of your readers until you feel you’ve asked every major question that concerns them.
4. Get out your pen and write: When you’re ready, sit down with your pages of questions and simply start to answer them. Imagine someone sitting in front of you asking for advice and just talk to them.
**Keep your tone natural and conversational.
Edit lightly, Trust your first instincts. Proof-read and correct any obvious errors, but don’t do any major editing until your piece has had time to “sit” for a while.
Finally with a fresh perspective give it the finishing touches.
