An Engineer by profession but a writer by passion! Yes, I am a technical content writer who is lucky to get a chance to pursue both, my profession and my passion. I speak less, although my ‘mini-me’ converses a lot. And that’s where thoughts for my writings come from.
Today, in this digital world, businesses know that to resonate with their target audience, the best ever platform is social media. While social media allows brands to get a lot of customer engagement and increase revenue, it can also negatively impact customers resulting in higher customer attrition rates and lower profits if not used correctly. It doesn’t even take a second for customers to unfollow a brand’s social media page. Hence, it is important to make use of social media platforms in a way that attracts customers and does not leave them unsatisfied or unhappy. But how to make optimal use of social media for business? Well, there is actually no magical formula. While posting something on social media platforms, brands should consider its quality and quantity, both. And what does that mean you ask? Let’s brief you on that.
When I joined Spacebar, a content marketing firm based in Mumbai, I had no experience in technical content writing. And to be frank, I was a bit anxious. Being new to technical content writing, I had no clue how to write articles, explaining new-age technologies without leaving readers bored. What added to my anxiety was the fact that technical articles were to be heavily researched and thoroughly explained. However, with senior’s assistance, practice, and learnings, I have now reached a place in my career where I can write technical content confidently. In this article, I’m sharing a few important tips that will help other budding technical writers:
Long gone are the days when people were satisfied with in-person retail experiences alone. Today, if businesses wish to build brand identity, reputation, and loyalty, the only choice left is exposed to their work online, identify leads, and increase sales. For developing and maintaining a healthy following, as per the requirements and demands of millennials and centennials, using social media for business is mandatory. Thanks to the dozens of niche social media platforms out there!
The digital era is here. Characterized by modern-age technologies, this era has enabled the new generation to get every service they need almost instantaneously. With several sectors realizing the fact that the Information age is truly customer-centric, they have transformed (some are still striving to transform) their business to make it readily available to their customers. In the pursuit to stand unique among their competitors and create a powerful brand identity, enterprises have started to focus on launching e-commerce websites. Amidst everything, out of nowhere, the concept of blogs have popped up. Not knowing how exactly blogs connect to e-commerce websites, a majority of companies are actually bewildered. What is the need for content for websites that deals with online purchases, how will blogs attract potential customers, do we need to upload blogs every month, and many such queries invade a business executive’s mind lately.
Regardless of whether you are running a brick and mortar store or having a web presence with an e-commerce business, your ultimate asset is your customers. And to intensify your customer base, nothing more matters than a highly effective marketing approach. The approach should be such that it attracts people and excites them to buy your product, which was always the case. But, as millennials and centennials prefer more engaging, personalized, and creative content, the modern-age marketers are expected to tweak/transform their marketing efforts. Here’s where the concept of social media for business made sense to everyone.
To write a tech article, you must have comprehensive information on different technologies, how they operate, and their capabilities, of course. But is that all you need? Well, no. Behind any tech article, there is a writer’s thought process, which helps him convey his opinions and other important facts on a technical topic. I work as a technical content writer in Mumbai-based content agency firm, Spacebar. And I say it with experience that a tech writer puts in a lot of research and thought when explaining a technical concept in an interesting and captivating manner.

A well-scrutinized solution in this online world is the use of the Internet to better their product advertising and marketing. This holds true for tech as well as non-tech companies. The major difference between a tech and a non-tech company is the audience. The tech companies have to focus on a more niche audience like CIOs, CTOs, CAOs, developers, data scientists, researchers, and the tech-enthusiasts, while non-tech companies focus on the more general, larger public. Earlier, the tech companies carried out a different marketing approach, including,
In this digitally driven world, creating a footprint on the Internet can help a business stand out of the crowd. Whether you’ve got a decade of experience or you’re a fledgling business, promoting your business online would help you drive website traffic, engage with more customers, and build credibility and authority in your field. Companies aiming for an effective online presence for their brand or effective lead generation must focus on content for website. The exposure of businesses on the Internet, with high-quality and keyword-rich content, helps a website rank higher on the SERPs. And when that happens, it helps a business to:
Okay, if you have landed here searching on ‘how to research before writing blogs,’ then I can safely assume that you are a writer or aspire to become one. Working at a content writing agency for quite some time now, I feel that I’m at a good place to help you start with your research.

The ultimate aim of any writer is to create quality content that will capture the hearts and minds of its readers. And this, I bet you can’t half do without proper research. As Maya Angelou has said,

You would want more and more people to stumble upon your content, read your work, and share it with others. And the only way you can achieve all this is through high-quality content.
