What's it like to be a Content Writer?
Content Writers write content for digital and print media. After researching details such as business goals, trends and unique selling points, they produce written content for a business’s target market. Whether they are writing product information or lifestyle-oriented material related to a product, Content Writers always aim to capture the interest of readers and customers. They need to be adaptable and capable of changing their writing style to match business needs.
Tasks and duties

Content Writers may work freelance, in an outside firm, or in a company’s marketing or advertising department. They may work with a Content Editor, Content Manager or clients to brainstorm possible content that meets an organization’s objectives and reflects their vision. Many hirers prefer Content Writers who are knowledgeable in SEO (search engine optimization), which enable articles to rank high in search engines.
