I just want to know the basic guidelines of content writing. like font stle and size really matters ??? and other things also.
format and all based on the requirement of client.Some expect Seo articles, which must be keywords rich and proper appearance of key words.Some expect essay and research paper for which the writer should have the knowledge of APA,MLA,chicago and some more style of writing. Yes Font and size matters.
I would say: Mention the keywords a few times but don't overdo it. Write in a nice readable font. Break up blocks of text into small readable chunks. Have a good headline to hook the reader and also put sub headings at the start of new paragraphs - all adds to an easier read.
Nice amount of keywords, not to big of a font, use of paragraphs, and a good headline. This is what I aim for and I know a lot of others do to.
Go over to copyblogger.com. I guess that is the best authoritative site to get quality information on how to write articles. 3 cheers to brian
You can visit Triond's WritingHood. The site has so many tips on writing and content production. Yes, the right keywords have to be used in the article a few times for search engine optimization.
In terms of content, that should really be prescribed by your customer. Stick to your brief and you can't go wrong. If it's web page content you're producing, then the format you produce it in is irrelevant as the style and format of the eventual web page will dictate font, size, layout etc. I would try to be as format-neutral as possible. Try using notepad believe it or not. It's far from perfect but your customer will not have any cut and paste issues later as they probably will have if you use MS Word. If you're not writing web page content, ask your customer for a copy of their style guide. If they don't have one, opportunity knocks - offer to write one for them!
A quality content with a medium length and good grammar skills are the tips in my words for content writing..
Font style and size is about presentation rather than being a basic rule for content writing. Keeping with the presentation part, you might also want to consider column width. But getting back to content writing... learn how to be a good writer. How to effectively communicate whatever the point is you're trying to make. There are lots of good books about writing styles. And I'd stick to the ones that AREN'T about writing online. First learn the real basics of writing. And then grow from there.
Good quality, well-researched content backed up by a linguistic flair and strong grammar. These should be the cornerstones of any brief from a customer.
I'm going to go slightly different, but not too much. I don't think the font type of size matters all that much because people are going to change it for their needs anyway. However, if they can't read it because it's too small, that won't help. Also, I don't think they care overly much about titles either, although if they ask for it that's a different thing. I'm often asked just to write articles about an overall topic, and then I supply them with a bunch of articles on that topic. I'm bad with titles, by the way. As to the rest, everyone's pretty much got it right. Getting those keywords in a few times is a big deal, although sometimes, while writing, you'll either notice you've popped the keywords in a bunch of times or only once, so balance is the key. If you're using your keyword a bunch of times, finding ways to turn it into keyword phrases might help. Spacing is something I've had to learn in writing for others. I'm used to paragraphs containing the same theme, since that's how I was taught to write over 30 years ago, but these days, readers seem to need a bit more white space, so that particular rule of grammar has been modified. After that, getting the information correct and writing with a little bit of personality will carry you a long way. I hope that helps.
Even i agree with the fact that the font n its size doesnt really matters much,wat matters is that writing shud be unique n shud use simple but catchy language....dats it u shud remember these small pts.
I guess now would be a good time to point out that spelling should also be put high on the priority list.
If you want to become a good writer. It's also important to make your book as memorable as possible. It is necessary and most important to revise the content. If you post it without reading it and then finding mistakes and correcting it again and again is not going to prove beneficial to you. You make a uniqe presentation of An Article.
Check out ezinearticles. That will give you a good idea on the content style and the design ideas of your article layout. Don't try to use complicated terms and phrases - write to a beginners level, so everyone understands what you're saying. Your title is key - so make sure it's eye catching and makes people want to read your article. I hope this helps. Kat Fuschillo
Actually when you look at it if you follow the rules outlined above you will be writing quite well. I feel like reiterating the white space between lines that definitely helps in reading.
Normal font size: 12 Good font: Arial/ Times New Roman/ Verdana Font depends on what you do though. I am a big fan of Arial because it looks neater than Times New Roman Start with 'Intro' -> Body-> Climax-> End! How hard can that be. Don't worry about other things. Follow with a dash of thoughtfulness and stir it with some creativity and you have a winner!
