It is sometimes difficult for a content Writer to explain, ‘what you do for earning’. Most of the internet savvy people are aware of the term Content Writing as whatever you witness on the web on the form of text is content. And the one who writes it is a ‘Content Writer’. But explaining this to others is sometimes tricky. Even there are some misconceptions of content writing that denounce this profession and cut down its significance. Here I am explaining them. Without much ado let’s get started with

The list of common Content Writing Myths

Myth#1 No Creativity Required To Start With

Its most commonly believed that writing content, blogs, and articles for a website are an easy task, where no creativity exists. Anyone can write such content and be an author, even without an artistic process writing approach. But it’s actually not so dear! Yes, a writer has to have determination, concentration and most importantly writing skills along with creativity. A SEO content writer has a very different role to play. Or it can be said that it’s a way ahead to the content writing. But to be a good content writer you need to have a flow of thoughts, creativity in words and knowledge of the correct form of presentation.

Myth#2 Content Writing Is A Kid’s Job Without Strong Vocabulary

If this is true then there would hardly be a count of unemployed people. It’s not a cakewalk job rather seeks high-end dedication with time undoubtedly. It’s a specialized field where only the writing lovers and knowledgeable people can enter. However, the field of content writing is vast enough. So people can pick up the specific field to move into like business, medical, cosmetic, finance, academic, blogging, etc.

People can make an estimation of the average time to write a book without mistakes but writing a web content is totally a different thing.

Myth#3 A Content Writer Must Have A Marketing Degree

This is absolutely not a prerequisite to becoming an author. Although many are having a marketing degree. People from journalism backdrop are the sure shot candidate for content writing and unpretentiously shifting towards this profession. However, the flow of a content writer from marketing or journalism backdrop is quite different from that of content writers hired for websites. They are devoting their writing to nurture long relationship while the journalism writers are writing about the events.

Myth#4 Content Writing Raises Job Insecurity

One of the most putative content writing myths is that the profession Raises Job Insecurity. People think that finding a job as a content writer is really not a lucrative idea as it’s a Freelancer’s job. But it’s actually opposite. You can get a number of options to do the full-time job with an outstanding amount paid. Your education with English base can grab you a remarkable earning source, not just as a freelancer but as a full-time content writer.

Myth#5 Search Engine Is The Only Source To Get Noticed

It’s important to write for the readers rather for the search engine only. Yes, reader’s engagement can get you fame and attraction. Writing content is not just having good rankings on google. While it’s generating a good connection with the readers. It’s obvious that if you do good writing then your content will bring more leads automatically. So “think and write” is a writer’s profession. However, these days your content is termed to be good only if its grammar and readability proof and keyword laden, off course.

Myth#6 Not So Lucky To earn good

Once you start earning from this sympathetic profession the foremost question asked by people is ‘how much do authors get paid’, ‘do they earn likable’. Actually, the question comes out of this content writing mistaken beliefs. However, it is a wrongly accepted fact. Writers can earn unexpectedly good.

Writers love penning down thoughts and writing expressions for which they are getting paid handsome. There is no scarcity of fields and websites developing every day. Hence the demand for writers and their earnings in content writing is never ending.

Myth#7 Only Quality Content Can Catch Hard Sales

It’ not true in any case. Actually, it takes the time to build trust with the readers. It’s not a matter of hours that you write a post and will get numerous visitors. Every writer has its own style of writing and people take the time to find their right choice of content. Hence, don’t get panic if you are not able to pull visitors and never get disheartened if you are not able to catch hard sales. Even though the website has quality content, it takes the time to attract visitors and get leads.

So…. this is the list of misconceptions about content writing that people usually have.

Well, instead of putting efforts to educate themselves on the minutiae of online written content, some folks still prefer capitulating to misconceptions only.  It’s a problem of stubbornness hanging on to the past. However, it’s a matter of lack of information and unawareness of knowing the latest changes and innovations.

Never follow the mistaken path by all, rather carve your own area of knowledge and learn how to write more.
