In order to become a successful content writer, improve your skill, become visible on the Internet, network with people and write continuously. Unless people don't see you established and respect your ability, they won't pay you for your work. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/need-help#post-53 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:21:29 +0000 Sujoydas 53@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I am an online content writer who needs some advice and pointers in terms of setting up a thriving content writing business.</p> <p>It is quite disheartening to note that people who hardly know how to write correct English are able to 'give' other people work..and that too at a pittance!</p> <p>Is there anyone who can help me? I would be quite grateful to anyone who can help me...</p> <p>Regards,<br /> SD....(a friend in need is a friend indeed!) </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-52 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:20:06 +0000 ranjani 52@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Writing based on a topic or a subject can be well done only with utmost clear &#38; in depth knowledge on the topic. A person can be a good writer when he has the flair for writing and an eagerness to communicate with the reader. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-51 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:59:34 +0000 abhayantony 51@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Practice, reading and research seem to almost complete the list of things that makes one raise the standard in one's work. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/your-first-topic#post-50 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:55:08 +0000 abhayantony 50@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Heya guys! I am abhay from mumbai. I hope to learn a lot from everyone. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-make-of-such-writers#post-49 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:50:57 +0000 abhayantony 49@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>The post was evidently not copy edited nor was it proofread, so it really doesnt make a case when your expecting to be hired for writing. A lot of typos in a content writing job call? Not impressive, though the guy could very well be a talented person. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/your-first-topic#post-48 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:05:27 +0000 Simran_S 48@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Hi all.

Internet is the best source of course. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/your-first-topic#post-40 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:51:29 +0000 pran_c 40@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Hi,I Am Pran.The latest addition to the gang.The best for the last I suppose ;-) </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-39 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:45:00 +0000 pran_c 39@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>I agree the more you read the more you learn,but I believe its classic authors like Dickens,Twain or maybe Dumas who raised the bar for the subsequent generations. Hence I believe there can be nothing better than reading the classics if you really want to hone your skills. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-make-of-such-writers#post-38 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 08:31:14 +0000 pran_c 38@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>It could be that the writer has written the thing in a hurry. Probably you could check a writing sample of his and then judge him. Which dosent mean I in anyway condone the mistakes he has made. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/communicate-privately#post-37 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:55:35 +0000 pinks_seo 37@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Amrit what if anyone wants u to communicate thru forums privately? or TWO/Three writers wants to communicate between themselves in this forum? </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-36 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:19:27 +0000 pinks_seo 36@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>I suggest Reading news papers..specially the "Times of India" . I dnt get enough time to read story books :P </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-35 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 07:12:03 +0000 amrit 35@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Ah! I'm rereading Sherlock Holmes these days (the complete compilation, 2nd part). I read it when I was in 10th and wasn't very comfortable with the language. Last week I also completed "Outliers: The story of success" </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-34 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 06:15:49 +0000 sourya 34@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Read, read, read! I've always felt that's the best way to improve one's vocabulary. Personally, I recommend the complete Sherlock Holmes collection. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/content-writing#post-33 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:50:17 +0000 Jande 33@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Thank you, Amrit and Pinks, this good to know. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-32 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:23:37 +0000 kala 32@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Ah well!I believe that writing gets better with depth in the subject,proper research and coordiantion of the researched material, good organization of ideas,and finally the presentation skill.How do I get it?Whenever I get an assignment that suits my taste, [in both payment and nature of the order]I am sufficiently motivated to do some research on the topic.So this improves that particular piece of work.The more work I get in a similar pattern it really improves with time -this is with regard to specific topics.Generally, I feel that good reading finally results in good writing.I believe in reading only good English ; referring to what many people have said on a particualr topic ,gives us better breadth of vision and a multidimensional perspective.We were taught this in our post graduation and I have found it the best practice. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/your-first-topic#post-31 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:22:06 +0000 pinks_seo 31@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>sure ruchi...add me &lt;sharmistha.neogi@gmail.com&gt; btw..all the articles written by amrit are SEO optimized :-) </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/your-first-topic#post-30 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 08:28:43 +0000 Ruchi 30@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Hey Pinks I have done basic content writing and few copy writing assignments. I also do creative writing but i am still novice with SEO and SEM!!!! Would you please guide me and tell what all technical knowledge like html etc. should i know to write SEO related content. Also, i'll be obliged if you could give me a sample article based on SEO so that i can understand it's concept.<br /> Waiting for your positive reply.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Ruchi. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/content-writing#post-29 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 07:14:32 +0000 pinks_seo 29@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>i think for SEO writing, its good if u know HTML and CSS. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-do-to-improve-your-writing#post-28 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:36:58 +0000 amrit 28@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Writing is a skill that gets better with practice, in fact this holds true for any activity. What all do you do to make yourself a better writer? I'm reading constantly, if not books, then on the Internet, and even books these days. Of course in my case lots of practice happens when I'm writing content for my clients. What do you do? </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-make-of-such-writers#post-27 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 06:08:58 +0000 sourya 27@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Yeah, that's exactly what I meant...I thought the smiley at the end conveyed my thoughts that giving this writer (!!) work will be detrimental to your reputation. </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/content-writing#post-26 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:54:55 +0000 amrit 26@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>No need. You just need to be a writer at ease with the way you express yourself. Of course you should be able to write well. The best way to succeed is, write as much as you can. For two years I kept writing without ever getting paid for my writing (I had web design and development business to support myself). </p> http://amrithallan.com/wforum/topic/what-do-you-make-of-such-writers#post-25 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 05:51:59 +0000 amrit 25@http://amrithallan.com/wforum/ <p>Sourya, I wasn't seeking the opinion, actually, the thing is, I've been providing professional content writing services for 5 years now and I still feel nervous while taking new assignments, and this guy cannot even write a single sentence straight and he wants to be paid for his writing. </p>
