\u201c<\/span>Home is not where you are from, it is where you belong. Some of us travel the world to find it, others find it in their words<\/span><\/i>\u201d inspired by Beau Taplin, a writer, these words depict the cathartic effect writing has on people who create magic through their words.<\/span><\/p>\n

People with a love for writing are apprehensive about pursuing it\u00a0 as a career because they have heard or assumed that writing means becoming an author. It is important to shatter this misconception since writing in today\u2019s world is not only restricted to writing novels and stories, rather it has established itself as an essential aspect of marketing, journalism, blogging and various other domains as well. Therefore, the art of painting stories through words is an immortal profession that will keep growing across domains leading to an increased need for writers.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you possess a genuine love for writing, can understand the shades of words and how these words will impact your readers, then your skills can be applied to the following careers:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Content Writer<\/h2>\n

Browsing through multiple websites on the web, you will notice how each of them has a different style and voice, a youth-driven website like \u2018Happily Unmarried\u2019 starkly contrasts with a brand like \u2018Apple\u2019. A website\u2019s voice is in a major part determined by the content written on it. Content helps you understand a company\u2019s offerings easily, builds trust, and convinces you to opt-in for the service\/product\/cause the website is trying to sell. From those who write the quirky content present on \u2018Happily Unmarried\u2019 to those who make you believe that the features present in an iPhone are the cutting edge of technology, are all Content Writers.<\/span><\/p>\n

When demonetization happened in 2016, Paytm, the cashless payments app, came up with the slogan, \u201c<\/span>ATM nahi, Paytm karo<\/span><\/i>\u201d. This slogan was not only catchy but also hit customers on their biggest pain-point at the time, the unavailability of cash at ATMs throughout India. A well-written copy does exactly this, it connects with its target audience by identifying their needs and putting across the solution through captivating, concise words.<\/span><\/p>\n

Copywriters entice their readers to take action through witty and user-friendly content, present on brochures, billboards, websites, emails, advertisements, catalogues and even social media.
