SUMMARY

5 Ways to Become a Content Marketing Writer or Write Content For Digital Marketing

1. Develop a Content Marketing Writer Background.

SmartBlogger.com (Jon Morrow) is an expert to trust. Read my blogs at expresswriters.com/write-blog, and contenthacker.com/blog.

2. Understand Strategic Content Marketing & Why It Matters.

I recommend books, courses, and classes. I wrote Practical Content Strategy & Marketing, and it was recently listed as one of the top 100 marketing books of all time by bookauthority.com, and an ultimate content marketing pick by Content Marketing Institute. These book lists also have fantastic book recommendations in the same genre! https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2020/01/ultimate-content-marketing-book-picks/ Ann Handley, Andy Crestodina, Mark Schaefer are some authors I recommend.

Courses are a great way to go in-depth and learn. I teach The Expert SEO Content Writer Course and The Content Strategy & Marketing Course. The latter teaches you the strategy of content marketing writing and digital content creation, and I would highly recommend it to grow your fundamental knowledge. Go to www.contentstrategycourse.com to learn more.

3. Find Your Niche of Expertise.
4. Know Your Worth (The Average Content Marketing Writer Salary).
5. Demonstrate What You Can Do as a Content Marketing Writer.
