How To create your secret weapon for writing success
#WritingWeapon
By now, you
would have understood the secret to standing out in realm of writing. And, you
have a solid idea of your unique personality, your valuable skills and
expertise, and your convictions.
"Kufre-Abasi
Ekpo is an energetic, motivated, and punctual person who always strives to help
others achieve success. Through his acting experience, he knows how to get into
his audience's mind and understand them inside and out. And while he's a bit
quirky, he truly cares about helping others and making people smile."
Writing has been instrumental in keeping history,
dissemination of knowledge through the media
and the formation of legal systems . It is also an important medium of
expressing oneself by way of written words as do authors, poets and the like.
Now is the time to put them all together so
you have a full understanding of what makes you special.
When a
prospective client comes to you, whether in person or online, you want to be
able to tell them who you are and what you do. Having a summary of your unique
strengths helps you do that!
You see, one
of the things that make businesses special is their story and their
personality. Much like everything we've been talking about writing.
Look at the
company "Man Crates," for example. They ship to their customers a
crate filled with random "manly" things that has to be opened with a
crowbar. Talk about unique!
People buy
them because the idea is funny, very specific, and has a boatload of
personality. They are very clearly
going after a specific market.
While
writing isn't a physical product, you're essentially selling the experience of working with you. So, you want to
have a really good idea of how awesome it is and why!
The best way
to get started is to write down everything you've discovered over this past
week in a notebook or on your computer. I like to write it as if someone's
telling a story about me – it helps me see myself from the outside perspective.
It will feel
funny going on and on about yourself, but I promise it will ultimately help you
in the long run.
For example,
here's a part of my summary:
Once you've
finished writing your story, go back through and read it out loud. And pat
yourself on the back, because you now know how you can stand out as a writer.
Essentially
what you have is a boiled-down story of how great you are and why people should work with you.
And, you can use it in many ways to boost your business.
I use my
story to promote myself on my LinkedIn page, for confidence in reaching out to
readers, and to understand the kinds of readers I'd be happy working with. This
helps me stand out in my contents and ultimately have a more enjoyable and interesting
blog posts.
You’re free to
share part of your story in the comments box below. It doesn't have to be perfect – it's always
evolving.
Ultimately,
understanding your unique personality and strengths inside and out will help
you succeed as a writer. You'll know exactly why clients should choose you and have an angle of attack
to separate you from the competition … helping you finally realize your
dreams and start down the path to living the writer's
life.
