CONTENT WRITING – THE HOWS, THE WHYS, THE WHATS

Content writers need to be well-rounded, but it also helps to have specific knowledge of the client’s industry or niche. In general, though, if you want to be a content writer, you’ll need the following set of skills:

• A solid command of grammar and style.
• Excellent research skills.
• The ability to write quickly and perform under tight deadlines.
• Versatility.
• The creative ability to generate content ideas on your own.

Pure writing ability is at the core of this skill set, but it isn’t the only qualification for becoming a content writer.
