My Writing Journey
Years ago, I got an opportunity to work as a secretary to a renowned honorable professor and a former vice-chancellor of Andhra University. Also, a proud author of his works based on Gandhian Philosophy. My job was to turn his writing into a soft copy, that looks simple, yet complex. Before making it into a soft copy, he keeps redrafting and editing his piece of work more than thrice. I was unaware of it then, but now I get how, Important it is to refine the writing. But my writing journey did not started there, years later, I can still feel his writing, I learned many mature words, patterns, and his excellent thought process, and typical author`s behaviors. Well! I am glad for the experience I had...
Writing has been a friend for a while, to share all my thoughts, to encourage me to learn deeply about a subject that I am unaware of, to remove confusion, and to give a stable opinion. Finally, it became a stress buster. Indeed, I am enjoying it. Writing allowed me to feel special among all my friends who felt, 'writing is boring'. But they knew that it was not everyone`s cup of tea.
Here I am, I found my niche - 'WRITING'
Then, I started exploring the highest possible ways of writing. And now, I stopped right here to write about 'your business'. I discovered the charm of writing content and copy, it`s incredible. Whatever of the hurdles that come along, like capture the audience, selling the copies, etc, emphasizing the act of writing is what I count on right now.
Let`s deal with the hardest part of writing
Perfect and profound writing is tough and also the hardest part of communication. It`s a myth. Simple and funny writing is far more acceptable than the complex one. An idea that is ignited as part of the thought process is quite common, and it happens to everyone and every time. But delivering the ignited idea on the paper, and got stuck there. Like, how to deliver the exact idea in writing? There the hardest part begins. Impressing the reader and drawing attention is the only key to a successful copy. It happens only when the writer's words bring the magic. But how? Million-dollar question.
That`s where these 3 Mantras helps you to upskill the writing
Writing is the flagship of turnover for companies, it`s ironic but true. The more simple the writing is, the more it penetrates, that is the new state of the artwork. It is an emotional and stimulative job, it has to crave the need to solve a problem, and bring a solution, and drive towards action. Writing goes bad if it lacks good and informative content or is vague. Presentation like redundancy, poor story, irrelevant text, exaggerating, unattractive headlines, and bad content is the major setback of Writing.

Research is a Resource: "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called a research, would it?" By Albert Einstein.
Writer`s resources are nothing but research, try to make the habit of researching. Though you do not need to have doctorates from any university, you can research. Always Indulge yourself in the research of knowledge and content though you might feel it is just a theory, I agree, but it is a savior. It saves you from ignorance, gives you confidence in what you do, spreads light over dark. I mean, it shows a new path when you lose, and you discover yourself for sure because it happened to me. We are glad that we live in a new age of the internet, and it is the best promising avenue for research, optimize the best out of it, and grab the resource for your next project.
Go to google, search for keywords that are relevant, see the highest SEO ranking keywords. Google optimizes your page if it is extraordinary. But to get there, one must work out of their comfort zone.

Keep editing your work before posting it, because with every edit you made to your copy, you find it more interesting, it will shine like a diamond by the end.

Master The Writing Techniques: "If writing is easy, you`re doing it wrong". By Bryan Hutchinson, Author of "Writer`s Doubt."
Writing has a style, it has techniques to present because every writer is unique, and what`s yours? Identify your own style, if you have none, then adopt, combine or create. There are no such parameters that one must use the proven one in particular, but it is advisable to have one.
Are you a storytelling type, then learn the descriptive technique because storytelling is insanely powerful, people hear stories, they love stories. It helps you to write biographies and authentic writing. A good background in literacy is a bonus. It needs great observation skills to point at minute details.
Are you a simple and short narrative type, then try learning the synopsis style of writing. It creates a flavor to your scripts and screenplays, novels, and sales pitches. It is one of the most demanding services you can offer.
Are you a charmer? Then, this technique is apt for you to try the persuasive type of writing, one of my favorite styles. It helps to make your writing more believable. People listen to what you are trying to message through this style of writing. Persuading is an art, it's a soft skill to learn, the 6 principles of persuasion are the most effective and proven theories in the marketing world.
It is indeed business writing, If you are in a marketing arena, then explore and apply those principles of persuasion skills to know how to write an ad copy, an article, a website copy, prepare an e-book, an online marketing course, and the blog post which I prefer.
Choose your writing style now, and jump-start your writing career, keep polishing your work. Don`t post or submit your work to your audience until you feel great. Trust me! You get the vibes when you feel it right. Learning itself isn't an easy process or an overnight act that makes a star writer. It needs the commitment of time and an enthusiasm to learn a goal to achieve, a passion for research, a mind to accept the failures.
