• What are the Top Challenges for New Digital Writer? Would you like to give me any advice about them?

In any field that a person starts, his / her career challenges always follow and digital writing is no exception to this. To my knowledge and understanding so far about this field the challenges that a new writer would face

1. Whatever topic is given or a person decides to write he/she first needs to find about what others have written. They need to thoroughly go through other write-ups on the same topic and then decide how to put forth more information in front of the targeted audience with a different style and tone. Hence, it is very important for New Digital writers to study seriously their competitors
2. The topics that a new digital writer takes up should continuously engage his/her readers. They should keep waiting for “Next to what” from the writer which will help in sustaining their interest. This is the biggest challenge that a new digital writer would face. Hence, while deciding on a topic they should keep in mind the targeted audiences, read about the topic and do a lot of research before plunging into writing.
3. As information has become dynamic to handle and organize it, various tools have been introduced and will continue to be so. Though a digital writer can be non-technical they need to get familiar with the writing tools. It is mandatory so instead of being skeptical about this techie stuff just try to work around them and enjoy. This will help them to write more efficiently and effectively.

• How do you see Career in Content Writing in the Future?

A career in content writing is very bright. People who have a flair of writing and now I can say people who do not can still try their hands at content writing. In each and every field that people work, there is some sort of writing to be done all that is content but if one seriously looks at what they might land up being a successful content writer in the future. I would suggest all of them not to miss the chance
