What web writers really do
The best thing about the internet in my view, apart from Trade Me, is community. This week I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to content writers and strategists cogitating in Austin, Texas, at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. I can’t turn them off!
Content writing has come so far from just being about ‘writing for the web’ and one SXSW discussion really rung true for me.
At Writeclick our days are full of considerations far beyond words on a web page. We look at business requirements, style guides, site maps, page schematics, brand books, SEO analytics, social media strategies and content plans. Not in that order and not all at once, but being a web writer today is more complex, and far more interesting, than it was five years ago. Hooray!
The discussion ‘Writing web content for a living’ highlights many of these issues and how different people work with them. If you’re an inhouse content writer, working for yourself or at an agency, it’s worth a listen.
