SOME MYTHS

Many people believe that content writing is Simple and Just writing. But is it as easy as falling off a log? This misconception shatters after actually trying their hands at content writing. Let us have a look at some of the primary myths which will help you discover the nitty-gritty about writing.

1. “IS CONTENT THIS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS?” Many readers and freshers feel creating content is a cakewalk, which isn’t a reality. Just like with any other business, there exists an extensive process that turns raw into a finished product; similarly writing involves quality time to transform raw data into refined knowledge. 

2. “CONTENT DOESN’T EXPIRE”:  The more updated we stay, the more approachable we are. With a passage of time the information needs either amendments or to be distorted. And if not done within right frame of time, the information become purposeless at the user’s end.

A brand is a company’s unique expression of how it behaves and interacts with consumers, a combination of everything it owns, produces, and portrays, all of which reflect the corporate values, culture, and vision and culminate into an image perceived by consumers.
