Here goes the list:

  1. Solution (n) – This is the most loaded cliché you can ever imagine in the content writing scene. Now, everybody knows that you write for the money. Even the client knows that. However, the client will be mighty pleased if she feels that you show interest the problems the client faces. When that is achieved, he might as well pay you the money because you have provided a much required ‘solution’. Yeah, you are right. Any client would love a content writer who can offer solutions. Do not hesitate to add that word to your content writing company’s portfolio.

  2. Partnership (n) – Even though the truth is that you actually work ‘for’ the client, if you can convey the idea that you are working ‘with’ them, letting them take baby steps of success and assisting them in doing so and so on, you will earn trust from the client. In content writing business, it is important that the client trust the company. Adding the word partnership will do the trick.

  4. Synergy (n) – Synergy is an after effect word of proactive. When you and the client, the two proactive team members come together, there has to be Synergy between the two. Such synergetic coordination is going to be rad.

  5. Tailored (adj) – Somebody once said that the most comfortable bed to sleep in is the mud dent you can create by lying on fresh mud and then drying it into your body shaped cavity.

Feel free to add that word ‘tailored’ to your content writer dictionary.

  10. Strategic (adj) – Do you want to say “really big and very clever”, but do not want to sound like an excited six year old, this is the word for you. Strategically place the word strategic in your copy.

  11. One stop shop (n) – Everybody loves a mall because you can find every possible thing in a mall. If you want a pressure cooker or a designer wear dress, the nearest mall has answers.
