How to select the best content writing certification course

23 Sep How To Select The Best Online Content Writing Certification Course?

If you are wondering how to select the best Online Content Writing Certification Course, then you are in the right place.

And if you are thinking who is this guy and why you should listen to him… here is why.

My name is Karan Dharamsi. I’m the CEO of ‘The Marketing Nerdz’ – A Popular Digital & Content Marketing Agency in India. I’m also India’s Highest Paid Direct Response Copywriter. In fact, I make my living writing and a pretty good one at that…

Karan Dharamsi

So I guess now you know why I qualify to talk about this topic and why you should consider what I have to share with you in this article 🙂

OK, if you are reading this, I am assuming 2 things about you: 

1) You are Interested in learning Content writing and

2) You want to know how to select the best content writing course so you can invest in the right course and kick-start your career as a content writer.

In this article, I’ll make sure that you find the answers to your questions.

So without further ado, let me dive deep into what you are really here for… Which is – How to select the Best Content Writing Course.

A good content writing course will fulfill the following criteria!

Criteria #1 to select the Best Content Writing Course.
Is the course mentor a successful content writer himself/herself?

The first thing you should always look for while trying to sign up for a content writing course or any course, in general, is – the background of the Faculty or the Course mentors.

Content Writing Course Mentor

Who you learn from can determine how successful will you become with a new skill you are trying to acquire.

A good teacher can help you learn a new skill faster and accelerate your success.

So the first thing you should always look for in any course is – the professional background of the faculty or course mentor.

Check for the following:

1) Is the course mentor a successful content writer himself/herself?

2) Does the course mentor actually make a living writing or are they only a teacher?

Important: Always choose to learn from someone who makes a living writing. Anybody can teach today.
But not everyone can make a great living as a content writer.

If you want to build a successful career as a content writer, always select a content writing course where the faculty member is also a working content writer.

Criteria #2: The Course Syllabus – What would I learn from this Content Writing Certification Course?

It goes without saying, but the 2nd important criterion for selecting the best online content writing course is the course content. The course syllabus.

Course Syllabus

Today, as a content writer, you have various options.

You can write content for Blogs, optimize articles for SEO, or write content for Social Media.

A good content writing course will teach you how to write for different platforms.

You can find more details about my 4 Week Online Content Writing Course here – Click Here.

So after you scan through the professional background of the course mentor, and you are happy with the course syllabus. You should check the teaching style next.

Criteria #3: What Is The Teaching Style & Format Of The Content Writing Course?

Now, this is another important factor that you should consider before signing up for any course in general.

Content Writing Course Format

We all have a preference for a certain personality and teaching style.

For example, I prefer teachers who are casual and teach like a friend. And that’s my teaching style too in my 4 Week Online Content Writing Certification Course.

But if you prefer a more formal teaching style… Or if you prefer a certain language… You should make sure that the course you plan to select fulfills those criteria.

The best way to learn more about the teaching style of the course faculty is to search for their videos on YouTube. If the faculty member is popular and experienced, they would 100% have a lot of videos on YouTube.

Watch their videos, and decide if you like how they teach.

Once you are satisfied with the teaching style, you come to the most important criteria – The Content Writing Course FEE.

Criteria #4: Price Versus Cost – What is the Online Content Writing Certification Course Fee?

Now, you should be really careful at this step.

Content Writing Course Fee

You see, most people go wrong here. They start with the course fee.

The first thing they look at is the course fee. And they usually select the cheapest course.

The problem with trying to SAVE money on the course fee and selecting the cheapest but the wrong course is – It ends up COSTING you way more in the long wrong.

Let me explain this with an example.

Let’s say, your search for the keyword – Best online content writing certification course, and you check out the top 5 search results on Google.

You find that there are 2 institutes that approximately charge Rs 5000 for the certification.
2 other institutes charge Rs 3000. And one institute charges Rs 700.

Because the syllabus almost looks the same for all the 5 institutions… Most students end up selecting the cheapest option.

Now the problem here is – Most students going with the cheapest option did not check the background of the faculty member… Nor did they check the teaching style. They are not even sure if the person teaching actually makes any money writing apart from selling courses.

So although they SAVED money by selecting the cheapest online content writing certification course. It’s very likely that:

– They do not like the teaching style of the teacher.
– They only learn superficial things because the faculty member is not experienced.
– They don’t know what to do after completing the course… They are clueless on how to go about building their career.

Now, these students end up spending a lot of time trying to figure out the path to a successful career as a content writer.

Content Writing Course

Yes, you can save a few hundred bucks by selecting the cheapest course. But you end up wasting months in trying to figure out the path to building a successful career… Months where you could have made money in salary or freelancing.

So going with a cheap course without looking into the other criteria I listed here could help you save a few 100 bucks, but you end up losing a lot of money by not being ready to work as a content writer and thus not finding the right opportunities – either a job or freelance gigs.

And that’s why the course fee is something that you should compare or look into as the 4th and not the first criteria.

I hope this article helps you in selecting the best online content writing certification course and kickstarting your career as a content writer.

Oh, and before you leave, if you already haven’t, you should check out the new 4 Week Online Content Writing Certification Course we recently launched.

Apply the criteria I just shared with you on my course 🙂
You will find a lot of my videos on YouTube.

All the best!

AI And The Future Of Content Writing

17 Aug The Future Of Content Writing Jobs – Will AI Take Over?

What’s the future of content writing jobs?
Is AI going to take over and replace content writers?
 
Well, if you are a Content writer or are planning to become one… I’m sure you must have thought about these questions.
 
In this article, I’ll share with you my thoughts on what I think is the future like for content writers…
 
I’ll cover the following points:
 
  • Can AI really replace Content Writers?
  • Is content writing still a good career option?
  • And if it is, what should you focus on to excel in your career as a content writer.
 
Oh, and if you want to be a professional and certified copywriter, join my 11 Week Online Copywriting Certification Course. I honestly believe that it’s the best online copywriting course out there. You can get all the course details here.
 
Alright, so without further ado, let me quickly dive deep into the Future of Content Writing.
 
 

The Future of Content Writing Jobs – Can AI Really Replace Content Writers? 

 
 
Before we start reacting to the whole hype about AI, we first need to ask ourselves…
 
Is the current innovation in AI today ready to replace Content Writers? 
 
And my answer to that is a BIG NO.
 
In fact, it’s not even close.
 
You know, this whole hype about AI replacing content writers started when the news about GPT-3 started doing the rounds.
 
It was around this time that a lot of individuals took to the hype and over-emphasized what GPT-3 could do.
 
But before I talk about this further. Let me quickly answer an important question.
 
 

What exactly is GPT-3?

GPT-3 And The Future Of Content Writing

Simply put, it’s the next advancement in the Auto-Complete Program.
 
Think of the time when you reply to an email from your Gmail account. And you type the word ‘Hi’.
Gmail automatically suggests the first name of the person you are replying to.
 
Or when you search for something on Google. And you type a word… Google search bar automatically suggests the next set of words based on your history and a lot of other factors.
 
This phenomenon where the AI suggests the next set of words is typically what an Auto-Complete Program is all about.
 
So you see, all the HYPE around GPT-3 and how it will replace content writers is ABSURD.
 
To begin with, GPT-3 is more of an Auto-Complete program build to predict what you would type next.
It’s not primarily designed to write content or articles on its own.
 
Anyone suggesting that doesn’t really understand GPT-3.
 
In fact, The Verve even wrote an article about this suggesting that the GPT-3 is flawed.
 
GTP-3 AI - Will it replace content writers?
 
Plus, writing is an art… A good writer can create content that moves or appeals to different human emotions.
While AI will keep getting better and better with the logical rationale of the human mind.
 
It will take a very long time for the AI to Understand human emotional patterns… Which comes naturally to a good content writer.
 
So yeah, now that you know there is no AI program even remotely close to replacing Content Writers.
 
Let me answer the next and the most important logical question.

11 Week Copywriting Course

The Future of Content Writing – Is Content Writing Still A Good Career Option?

 
 
Of course, it is!
 
In fact, in the post-COVID-19 world, the demand the good content writers went off the roof.
 
Today, no company can survive without an online presence.
A large majority of the offline marketing budget is now allocated for online marketing.
 
And when it comes to online marketing – everything is based on CONTENT.
 
Companies need a good content writer for:
  • Creating Social Media Posts
  • Write Articles and Blog posts
  • Create Email Campaigns
  • Write content for info-graphics
  • Create click-generating YouTube video titles
  • Write punchy text on banners
  • Video scripts
  • Product guide
  • Case-studies
  • Information Reports
  • E-Books
  • And on and on

So you see, the demand for good content writers is at an all-time high.

The salaries are great. The future of content writing jobs is nothing but outstanding.

And the demand will continue to rise as the world becomes more and more digital.

So to answer the primary question – The future of content writing jobs is nothing but secure and great. You could build a successful career as a content writer with great scope and opportunities without really having to worry about AI taking over your job or clients.

Alright, so now that you know there is no AI taking your job away. Let me share with you how you could go on to build a successful career.

What to FOCUS on to build a successful career as a Content Writer?

While there is no AI taking your job away. But, there is just one thing you need to be careful about while building your career.

It’s choosing not to be Average or Mediocre.

Before I continue, you should listen to this episode of ‘The Marketing Nerdz Podcast’ that I recorded for you.

In this episode, I go deeper into the topic of building a successful career as a Content Writer. Listen below.

I hope that you listened to the podcast. Like I said in the podcast, the Biggest MISTAKE most people make when it comes to their career is – choosing to be average.
 
It’s people with average skills that get replaced first when technology changes, there is a new innovation, the economy is down, or the company they are working for is not making PROFITS.
 
So if you aren’t skilled, if you don’t choose to become good at what you do…you do not have a secure future in any space, in any industry.
 
You are always at the RISK of losing your job.
 
But when you choose to become good at what you do… No matter what industry or profession you choose to build your career in, you would NEVER be Replaced.
 
In fact, companies will line up to hire you because you are good at what you do.

So if you want to build a Successful Career in Content Writing or any field… FOCUS on building your skills. As the title of the book – Be So Good that they can’t IGNORE You.

And TRUST me, there is nothing that you will ever have to FEAR or worry about as far as your career is concerned.
The future of content writing
So to conclude:
Here’s what you need to do.
 
Forget these discussions because they’re not productive. It’s like news media.
 
The more you listen to it, the more fearful you become.
 
Just forget these discussions and spend the majority of your time focused on building your skills, developing the skills, becoming a better content writer, becoming a better digital marketer, becoming a better salesperson, becoming a better entrepreneur.
 
In a nutshell, becoming better at what you do. And when you do that, you would never, ever be fearful of anybody replacing you.
 
And most importantly, you would be prepared for the next transition that happens in your space, in your industry.
 
A skilled individual is always prepared for the transition and moves ahead with the change and the transition that happens in the industry.

The mediocre ones get replaced and get left behind.

So the choice is yours.

How your future turns out to be is something that you need to decide based on what you choose to do today.

And if you are planning to build your career as a content writer, you should read this article I wrote for you on – how to become a good copywriter

I hope the podcast and the article, in particular, was of help to you.

Keep learning.

To help you become successful,

Karan Dharamsi
