A copywriter will need to adopt the persuasive style of writing to persuade prospective clients to customers whereas a technical writer will adopt the descriptive style of writing to explain the usability and processes of utilizing a product. Now let me give a brief discussion on the different styles of writing. back then in basic schools we were taught the different types of writing which are vital elements of a writer.

  Four main styles of writing: 

The 5 Types of Writing Styles and Why You Should Master Each

The goal of creative writing is finding new ways to tell stories that can surprise and delight readers.

 Creative writers create content based on their level of experience, exposure and maturity etc for this segment I won't be going into full details on what creative writing is but you should understand it is a crash course and type of CONTENT WRITING.

 When using descriptive type of writing you should consider and see yourself as both the reader and writer for easy clarification and understanding of the concept of discussion.

When trying to achieve a descriptive writing style, think of it as painting a picture with your words. Your five sense organs should be active and initiated when making a description.

Research

A content writer should be able to carry out research on his Niche, as a content writer you employ different strategies of carrying out research on the topic of discussion before writing. A good research will produce a good and genuine content for readers to assimilate and comprehend with ease. Research should be done on any Topic you're working on to see updates and Trends.

    Have a time for carrying out research on your niche surfing the web and storing in a journal to prevent future time waste. Researches done should be saved in a storage.

Your content should be original and free of plagiarism or copied. An original content means writing your ideas, experience, certified understanding and skills. Producing content takes more indepth understanding of a context and building your choice of words to educate your audience to meet their immediate satisfaction emotionally or psychologically.

It’s important to know how to craft SEO-friendly titles and descriptions, use keywords effectively and keep up with Google’s latest algorithm changes.

SEO is a broad concept and I will be creating content on it later but for this skills purpose I wouldn't go deeper.

Communication is made when both transferer and receiver can decipher each other but where one party doesn't understand its an incomplete communication. You don't have to use concrete vocabulary to express your ideas or opinion, a situation whereby your audience frequently goes to the dictionary every now and then poses a threat to reading.

       A moment of life comparison 

Cool evening and a wondrous atmosphere the trees are waving to the tone of the wind and whispering on the surface of the waters with blooming and  glamorous look, the leaves of trees touching the waters to feel the calm and waving strides as they plays, the cool evening breeze relaxes on the waters playing and be grateful for their company.

Everything existing has its purpose even the living and non living things . They express Thier gratitude in ways they can and as humans we are created above them and made higher, our decision and actions shape our life.

Life is hard in fact everything is hard, getting this money is more harder, in this part of the world where our currency is devalued beyond the country's standard is enough to frustrate us but we still live on hope amid the trauma and pain of waking up everyday to the same routine for 365 days struggling to get the Dollar. Hope is an excuse to believe everything's gonna be okay but in reality nothing will change if you do nothing. Keep pushing, the trees and grasses are never bothered sometimes they got cutt down and burnt but who can they complain to ? Life presents everyone with seasons. Seasons comes and goes, but there is always a brighter side to everything. So how do the poor keep getting poor?

ADVISE TODAY

  I was passing through a very tough and indecisive moment and decided to ooze out my brains from this awful but necessary thoughts of mine so I can decided to write and guess what I found out , i felt so relieved and open thinking of what am doing which is what you are reading, let me show you what I have been thinking........... Am aspiring to be a blogger and at the same time thinking of what I can do to make money from online  I felt caught up in between two phases "money making and blogging" that's right so this thoughts  led me to free up my mind so I decided to write .

      It was devastating at first! Why? Because I was thinking what should I write about and who am I writing for and I realized it's not about "who I'm  writing for" it's about "why I'm writing" realistically speaking we at some point in time wants to express ourselves out even though no one's there we just want to shake off that  FEELING,we just wants to be FREE.

  If you would ask me free from what!!!!!! Well there's a lot to be free from especially this part of the world we found ourselves, economy is hard familys struggling and you are driving to survive. I'm writing because I want some one out there to know that you are not passing through this phase alone just close your eyes and remember there's someone some where I the same position as you are what can you do to help that person life is not about the BAG ALONE  everything is not the bag there's  much of things the bag can't solve or will ever solve they can heighten your spirit, it is morally right as individuals to help in anways we can to anyone you are capable of after all life only makes sense with that person.

    A friend and neighbour of mine once said " it's because you wake up and see your neighbor that makes you realize you are still alive" what if you wake up one day and realize there's no one just you alone do you think you can live all by yourself so there readers take time to appreciate who is next to you even if it's your enemy just seeing that person makes life what it is....... Anyways I just feel to drop this I believe it might help some one some where have a nice day ahead

Content marketing

 What is content marketing?

Content marketing is the development and distribution of relevant, useful content—blogs, newsletters, white papers, social media posts, emails, videos, and the like—to current and potential customers. When it’s done right, this content conveys expertise and makes it clear that a company values the people to whom it sells.

The consistent use of content marketing establishes and nurtures relationships with your prospective and existing customers. When your audience thinks of your company as a partner interested in their success and a valuable source of advice and guidance, they’re more likely to choose you when it’s time to buy.

Why it’s important

Content marketing is a go-to tactic that’s proven to work. Also, it provides a competitive advantage. Take a look at what the data says about content marketing:

                        Self development

If you see every day as an important day for your future and as a special day just because you have it, you will be amazed at how productive and energetic you will be. It’s the best way to be at your best at all times. Ever say to yourself, “what a great day!”? Say it to yourself today, right now, and see how your enthusiasm level begins to improve.

That’s the first step, and it helps if you’re already doing something you love doing. Things just work out better that way, and you won’t have to work very hard at creating momentum or enthusiasm. But no matter how well you’ve done, you can always do more and do better. That’s how I avoid complacency and how I maintain a high level of productivity.
