Good Content Writing

If you are reading this then you are curious enough to check out my writing capabilities, or trying to improve your own. There are a few way to showcase writing abilities when writing articles for people online.

Some of these ways include but are not limited to:

-Writing lists 
       + Writing lists can be tricky since most of the time people who look at online lists are known for skimming through them. It is important to grab their attention quickly, because people want to see the information that brought them there in the first place.

-Keeping readers engaged 
        + This is one of the most important things when writing. No one wants an article half read before it gets boring which  makes you loose a potential follower to a site, or blog. Make the content engaging, upbeat, and entertaining. 
- Keep your content "short and sweet"
        + The reason for this is that most of the time  people read the first two sentences of a paragraph before moving on to the next. Of that on average, viewers will look over the first three paragraphs and then decide if the material is worth finishing.  At that moment they will decide if the page they  are on is even right for them. This is a key point for search engine optimization. 

-Search Engine Optimization (SEO) 
        + The closer your article is to what they are searching, the more likely they are to read it in full. Great back links, keywords, and choosing the right headline are important. Using search engine optimization can make a website one of the top on the list when people use Google, Bing, and Yahoo search. 

Understanding search engine optimization (SEO), keeping content short, having readers engaged, and lists can be very benificial when showcasing what type of work you can do for people who own websites, or blogs looking for the right writer for their specific needs.
