By leveraging the internet

Yes, you read it right. Internet is full of amazing resources through which you can start learning content writing for free.

Content writing is a domain that asks for your commitment and dedication, without these you won’t be able to learn anything.

Commitment to writing every single day, commitment to research around topics you are planning to write.

Coming from a content writing background, I haven’t taken a single course since I have to get started in this domain and after years of consistency, I have been able to craft better writing.

Here is how you can start learning content writing without any distractions and noise 👇

  1. Search for 5 popular digital writers
  2. Spend hours with their writing works
  3. Copy the same work by pen n paper
  4. Do this for the next 30 Days

Here are a few of my favourite digital writers you can explore

  1. David Perell
  2. Nicolas Cole
  3. Niharika Kaur Sodhi
  4. Dickie Bush

These are a few superstar digital writers who have been teaching and inspiring thousands of individuals to break into writing.

You might be thinking, why should I copy their work instead of start writing on my own?

Knowingly or unknowingly we all are copycats, every single thing we do, whether it’s choosing what to eat, what to wear, what to pursue or how to live a life.

By copying their work, you will learn about their writing craft, how they format, and what writing styles they follow other than that, you will learn about storytelling, persuasion, writing hooks, writing killer headlines and introductions, and a lot more.

To become a better content writer, you need to master two basic skills, the first is copying and the second is Googling.

How to copy effectively and search for information on Google super quickly will help a lot in becoming a content writer.

So, what’s the next thing you will do?

Before anything you do, start reading quality books 📚. Pick any of the popular books and start reading, it can be fiction or nonfiction.

Now, you know what do to next. So, let’s get started.
