How to write engaging content
(COURSE DURATION: 80 MINUTES)
What makes good written
content and how hard is it to produce?
Well, there’s more to it than simply producing grammatically sound copy.
You need to be able to produce words that inform, educate, entertain and stand-out in a crowded market. And in this course, you are going to learn from the people who know how to do just that – current working journalists.

Writing good content is harder than ever. There is so much copy out there it is increasingly difficult to stand out and grab attention.
In a world where everyone is continually scrolling, how do you produce content that is thumb-stoppingly good?
The answer lies with journalists and the skills and principles they use in their writing every day to produce attention-grabbing content.
In this interactive course, you will learn how to structure your writing like reporters. We will guide you through the language you should and shouldn’t use; the importance of simplicity; and how to make your writing look more appealing.
We will also guide you through the key email marketing principles so your words get past spam filters and capture interest in inboxes.
Because this training is online, it is ready when you are and you can access it whenever you want. And you can always revisit it if you need to remind yourself of what you have learnt.
We also have a bespoke option enabling you to spend time with one of our tutors. This would be carried out on Zoom and could be used to review and provide feedback on your writing.
