What Does a Content Writer Do?

Creates written content — articles, guides and marketing copy — that informs, ranks and converts.

A content writer produces the words behind a brand: blog posts, guides, landing pages, newsletters and more. They research topics, write clearly for a target audience, and often work with SEO in mind so content ranks and drives traffic.

Writing is inherently remote and async. A portfolio of published work and the ability to adapt tone and structure to a brief are what employers look for.
