There are many basic and essential tool needed for content creation, and content creation although being fun is also not an easy job to do, it requires more sacrifice, like time, energy, resources and imagination and more, for you to write a meaningful content you have to be good at understanding and thinking wildly, most times you have to focus on the lessons or information that those that are reading your content will get. And personally I will say is best for one to learn from others before creating his or her content, find out how others compose and write their content, it can also help you to know how you will write yours and make it more better. Rushing to make a content when we are not yet done with learning is not advisable because you can make some big mistakes and this mistake you might make will make people lose interest in your content, so it is advisable to learn well before thinking of creating your own content.
Content writing is not an easy task, although one can learn both how to make a great content but may make some mistakes in the beginning because it is not always easy to start a new thing, so if you make mistakes wise up and take corrections from your mistakes so that you will make a more better one next time. When one learns a new still he/she might make some mistakes at the initial but his ability to improve is more notable.
When it comes to content writing I have some experience about it and hive has been helping me improve in my content writing, I joined hive last year around February, which makes it one year and some weeks that I have joined hive, since I joined hive my content creation stills has improved, when I joined hive I didn't start making content immediately, I took my time and I learn many things for some months before I made my first content. People love it and the dropped great replies that motivated me to know more and never give up on content creation and writing, since I started making my first content till date I have been trying my best to make good content and am more determined to work more hard to make more and informative post.
Being a newbie doesn't make you worthless, because you can still be a pro and expert in the field with time, I can even call my self a newbie because there are till many things I have learned and still wants to learn, so don't give up at the initial continue going, many people have given up on their first content and had regretted it, so don't make the same mistake.
BASIC THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF FOR CONTENT WRITING
Be careful of the source of your image
Most people make a mistake of not providing the source of their images when writing a content, and the also make a mistake of using images which has royalties and are not free to be used by another content writer, so if you want to make a post remember to pick pictures from free sites, site like pexels.com and pixabay.com has free Images you can use on your content, I always make use of pictures from this two sites when writing a content and you can do likewise.
Create a more informative and readable content
When making your content try your best to make a good informative post and a readable one, remember you have audience from different places so you have to use words that are more understandable to them and ones that are readable by all, try to make your post more informative, so that people will always love to come back to read more of your post.
As a content creator you can also engage on other people's (writers) content, read them and maybe drop a comment, and also try to read the comments you have on your own comment, the can also contain valuable things you need to improve, this means that engagement is also important in content creation. When you engage, you will have more connection between you and your audience and you will get to know your audience more and this can help you improve more.
Consistent writing
They always say that consistency is the key and that's true, when you are consistent you will have more audience and followers. Most people are not serious with content creation and the take days before writing a content and this affects their growth. So try and be consistent, don't give up on the early stages, because most times it is not always easy, continue pushing and pushing. Remember your level of consistency will always help in keeping your audience engaged at every point, and all this means you have to be consistent.
Conclusion; This are some of the basic things you have to take note of in other to make an amazing content, this things I have mentioned here has helped me so much and I believe that it will also be of great help to you, I hope you improve more on your content writing, I am doing my best to also improve more also.
