How to Win the Hearts of Your Readers with Your Writing

I've heard some people say that some people are just born as a writer and they have this natural flair and charm whenever they put their pens (erm…should I be using the term 'keyboard' to work here?) to work. I've read many articles where some writers are able to just churn out words that capture, entice and propel the reader into action! Yes, it's serious business writing and I am probably scaring some of you off as it is - but bear with me, I am getting to my point.

The point is I don't agree that writers are born. Sure, some writers have this love for writing and possess an admirable flair for it while others struggle to put their thoughts into words. The flair that I am talking about is to win the hearts of the readers with words. After spending a decade of freelance writing, I've read a load of articles here and there and give them points in my head. And some articles that I have seen manages to keep me reading to the end…some made me click away from second sentence onwards.

The only way to capture the heart of your readers with your words is to write with your heart. Think it, feel it and write it! I am sure a lot of writers out there will agree with me on this and I am pretty sure I am right.

You see, the way to win the hearts of your readers is to see things from their point of view and think like your reader - that's the best thing a writer can do to capture the hearts of their writers. I am sure it's no secret but you'll be surprised with how many writers make the mistake of writing it for themselves! The moment you start writing the article for yourself, the readers may find it easier to lose interest and stop reading.

So, if you're an aspiring freelance writer, start excising this method by thinking like your reader before you start writing and soon you'll see your reader base growing. Good luck!
