MARKETING – The process of selling yourself

The market for content writers is escalating because the companies want to express their products in the best possible way, which can also be termed as one of the many forms of marketing. There are many procedures that a company follows to market their products. Advertisements on TV, Print Media through ads on Newspapers, Magazines, Hoardings, Experiential Marketing also known as on-ground campaign, which is a new entrant in the market. This is done by bringing the products close to the consumers by providing them the look and feel before they can buy the product. As a result they can experience the product before they buy it.

SEO Process By Place on Top 

Similarly coming of age is the Digital Marketing. The advertisements you come across on Facebook page on daily basis, the advertisement that you see in your Twitter page, Google page, Pintrest, LinkedIn, Tumbler amongst the many others are examples of Digital Marketing. Then there is SEO which is also termed as Search Engine Optimization. The work of SEO is the process in which the visibility of a website or a page can be affected. When you open up a page on Google while you are searching for say, “The best colleges in India”, many pages appear it’s rare that people might even turn up to the second page. That is why it has become an imperative form of marketing, to increase the visibility of you product.



There are many forms of marketing that a company may resort to. And there are many forms of marketing that can’t be discussed at a go. There are ambient marketing, guerrilla marketing which resorts to a different form of communication which is innovative and eye catching at the same time. A company should resort to form of marketing which directly reaches to the audience. Not because it fits the glamour but because right form of marketing can bring you results you are looking for.

What is the work of Content Writer amidst these platforms?
When you come across a website, the first thing you come across is the, “About us” page which could be a small write up about the company, the company team members, the career page, these are a few segments content writer needs to work on. We might as well argue that,is the work of the content writer restricted to these areas? No! It’s also about the blogs. A company that is interested in an agency or an agency interested in a Company. To get an overview of the company, their company’s culture, their thought process, their work style, their success stories, stories from where they get to learn, an experience is all accessed in one page which is referred to as the blog.



The blog is a segment in marketing which has evolved over time. There are personal blogs where people would like to limit it to themselves and then there are many avid travellers who write about their trips if properly publicized they might act as a brand ambassador to many brands. Many are food connoisseurs; they write about the latest foods and can give you a recipe on one or two. Many also write about the latest restaurants in town, which is not publicized but do serve great food. People writing blogs of this format, where they do it out of their own will,which can act as marketing for that particular product that is not very well known but carry great significance to people looking for the service.

The work of a content writer is equally important. It creates the image of the company. A lay man can either be a job seeker or one who has huge money in pocket and is looking out for a business opportunity. The first thing first is that they open up their websites, their work, their blog posts. If these do not leave a first impression in the minds of the seeker then it can have a negative impact on the audience hence affecting the image of the company.

What was I looking for?
The city is now a whirlpool of companies, products, agencies and then dividing them further into different segments and then their sub segments. There is no dearth of companies and with these comes the services required from the public, which comes in bulk. Updatingyou in the portals like Naukri.com, Monster.com; Shine.com again there is no ending to these portals. Then there is a page I refer to when looking out to Hiring, “Skill pages”. Upload your requirements and application begins pouring in.



I put up my requirement as, “Looking for a quality candidate with an aptitude to grow. The only thing we expect apart from the basic pre-requisites is that you should have the niche to write and the rest is on us”.
I receive many applications on a day but it is again a task to separate the odd one out. Segregate their CV’s then their Articles. Go through each one by one. Reject many, then from the selected few give them a call and appoint a time for the interview.


The Interview
Some can just ramble on about themselves even before being asked. Some are scared to death as if they are standing beside a lion and I the hungry lion will eat them up. Then there comes the confident one, who is all smiley and cheerful, carrying the vibes with her. Well, I hire her. Because personalities make a huge impact on the work itself, a cheerful personality will have a great outcome, and will have the stamina to deal with situations. And if it comes with a writer then I need nothing more in the content writer I am looking for.


Success
The candidate joins and from the day it is reflected in the article itself. The team is now finally growing. As said by Bill Gates, “Hire people who are smarter than you “. It can make a huge difference. Different thought process should not affect the mindset because this is what makes a company stand out from the crowd, “A different mind” is what is required to make the difference and is the need of the hour.
