Content Creator: 3 Ways To Add Value To Your Content (And Sell More)

It’s no longer enough to provide well-written articles and web content. A tsunami of content flows onto the web every day.

In addition, 2020’s lockdowns and social distancing changed the way companies interact, not only with customers, but with everyone else as well. As a content creator, think: opportunity. Going forward, no one knows that 2021 will bring, but changes will keep coming.

A tip: take heart. Your clients know that content pays off over time. Good content supports their advertising, so they need content. Want proof? Here you go: many larger companies now have content creation teams in-house.

Your challenge is making your content valuable from the time it’s created.

Writing Tip For Motivation Monday: The Attention Secret

Writing tip: pay attention. Write about your writing

Many years ago, when I was much more prone to distraction and procrastination than I am today, although I still procrastinate a lot, I discovered the value of writing about my writing.

I found that if I made a brief note about a writing commission as soon as I received it, it primed the pump. A day or a week later, when it was time to work on the commission, I didn’t procrastinate. It was as if by writing a sentence or five about the project, my subconscious mind had mulled it over and generated ideas.

Over time, I proved the value of a writing log to myself: if I want to get things done, I need to keep track of what I’m doing, in writing.

Writing Tip For Motivation Monday: Show Up And Keep Showing Up - Writer Angela Booth

Show up for your writing (and selling your writing)

I’m a huge proponent of showing up for your writing by writing every day. Here’s why, in a word: habit. Once you form a writing habit, writing becomes easier, because it’s just what you do. You don’t have to think about it.

Showing up for selling your writing is a little more challenging. No matter how often you do it, or how long you’ve done it, there’s an element of doubt involved. Will it sell? That doubt leads to procrastination, which breeds even more doubt. And yet more procrastination.

Reminding yourself to “show up”, even if you’re flooded with doubt, helps.
