With so much of your small business marketing now taking place in the digital space, it’s never been more important to hone and craft the written content on your site.
Whether it’s a blog post, a news story, an email campaign or a social media post, a huge part of the allure of your brand comes down to your writing skills. The quality of this writing defines how well this content engages people and how well it turns your prospects and customers into long-term advocates for your brand.
So, writing is important. But what if you’re not a professional writer? Can you still turn out blog posts and content that can compete with the work of an experienced content person? This very short answer to this is ‘Yes, you can!’.
It will take some practice, focus and motivation to get your writing up to speed, but I strongly believe that we can ALL produce good written content – as long as we have the passion to tell our story and open up about our brand experiences.
