Knowing how to write isn't enough to make you a good content writer for business. Neither is being a domain expert, a linguist or creative writer. Look at this example. This is the kind of event description I received through WhatsApp messages from experts in the field. The language isn't great, but that's okay. But look at the acronyms.

This is jargon stuff. PS would understand, but certainly not doing us on the program. domain experts are the best people to develop marketing material. Being an external content writer gives you that outside perspective, which is good. You can question the expert and simplify this communication for donors. What about this one?

This is a beautiful piece of writing for those who understand it. I will need a dictionary. Business content first and foremost, must be simple to understand. Here's an entertaining story. Nothing wrong with it. It's written Well, it's engaging, but it's descriptive, which was great for creative writing, but not so for business content content.

Businesses are marketing content must be precise. Even when you develop a story to communicate a business offering, it can't be too long winded. business writing is all about content that simple and comprehensive in a way that it leaves no question unanswered. For example, if you're writing a product description, are you covering it from the perspective of benefits, something the customer is concerned about? That's our business writing has to be simple, perfectly understandable to the target audience. Clear does not create doubt.

It clarifies no ambiguity. precise, no rambling straight to the crux of the topic. crisp, active tone, short punchy sentences, strong transitions and clear calls to action. Every piece of content developed in the business world has some agenda. There is always an expected outcome. So the content must also be persuasive, making the reader believe what you're saying and compelling, nudging him or her incentivizing read it was the action you want them to take.
