ABOUT WRITING: Hope and Ambition
Life is a journey. Life is a story, when journeys and experiences are told to others. Some people share their stories through meetings and over coffee. Some share their stories during their speeches or training sessions.
For most people, they write their stories. It doesn't need to be in a particular book to be published, because sometimes it always comes through social media. Among all, FB and blogs are the choice of many people.
However, lately, writing has become more popular. There is great potential for writing to be commercialized. Ranging from various books of all genres for adults, young adults and down to books for children.
However, one thing remains the same. CONTENTS.
Content has been used extensively in marketing. It's the same with writers around the world. One piece of content can be expanded into more and generate more opportunities and potential for growth.
From a novel they make a film. Then move on to merchandising which has its own reach. From goods that can be sold online, moving to materials that can be produced and sold offline as well.
From stories to children, they create animations and then go beyond their own production to include mobile apps. They turn to merchandising which ranges from toys, activity books, souvenirs, props and more.
One can have a special niche in writing. But many have the ability to stay in one while continuing with another.
A business person may be expected to write a book on business and management. A mother is expected to write about motherhood and parenting. A teacher is assumed to write about his teaching, pedagogy and philosophy.
However, there are some who do things differently. CONTENT remains the same KEY RESOURCE of all of the above. It depends on which CONTENT it is decided to utilize and work on.
I?
Personally, my experience in business has to do with children, parenting, teaching and training. Business management is what I love to do and some say what I'm good at.
But deep down, the years of experience behind the walls of management have a lot to do with people. And for that, being a mother, teacher, and learning facilitator for teachers and children, one thing remains the same – PEOPLE.
In business, CONTENT sometimes goes through the documents and systems we set up. This can be a new set of systems or an upgrade from an existing one. This involves another part of the business as well, marketing.
In business, the content used for marketing purposes needs to be well planned. Most of the time, we do it for fun, build on it, and keep it rolling. Somehow, another team will set the tone to get the revenue coming in.
I can see there is great potential to make a difference in one particular area. ISI for children who easily adapt to many other lives.
How many of us read children's books because there is a need for them?
Maybe as a mother, father, teacher or even a volunteer.
How many of us buy children's books?
It may be a gift, a gift, a token, a tool for teaching and parenting.
How many of us buy toys and other merchandise related to children?
Maybe as gifts, birthday gifts, hampers for children's events, tools for doing activities or even as simple as birthday party souvenirs.
And in all of the above, one word remains constant: CONTENT.
Well, regardless of what you do and the writing niche you choose, it's all about your plans. Manage expectations and continue your dreams.
Happy writing!
