What does it take to be a web content writer?
The qualifications for web content writing are as follows:
Language – the writer of web content must understand that written language needs to make up for the deficiencies of remote contact.
Research – you would need great online research skills. You have got to be a good “googler.”
Art – you must be able to represent your content in a way that it is easy-to-read on the web. It must contain formatting elements, illustration and pictures to state your point.
Social skills – the freelance web content writer doesn’t need any. By its very nature writing content for the web means that all contact between the writer and the buyer is by way of the internet. If you can fake sincerity with the written word, you have it made in the shade.
What can you write?
