We finally finished the transition and rebranded from Content Writing Jobs to Best Writing. 🎉

If you bookmarked any page on contentwritingjobs.com, you’ll be redirected to the corresponding page on the new domain. Everything should be working smoothly.

Why the change?

We felt that our brand was limiting us. Also, it was quite a mouthful.

With the new brand and website, we’ll focus on serving you to do your best writing.

The next step is building the best value writer membership in the world.

If you have ideas, I’m curious to hear them.

Writing Tip of the Week

♾️ Use story loops. This week’s tip comes from Rob Lennon.

Most writing sucks at holding the reader’s attention.

Once you hook it, you have to HOLD it.

Steal my process to write PAGE-TURNER posts and threads:

Anytime you introduce an idea, you open a STORY LOOP.

To make it impossible to stop reading, you must open new loops frequently.

To use story loops effectively:

🟢 Repeatedly hook with new story loops

🟢 Diversify your loops

🟢 Tie off each story loop for flow

Let me show you how ↓

Shows like GoT do this well.

Just when the suspense is peaking in one storyline, they cut away to another.

And leave you dying to find out what happens.

New loop opened.

Old loop paused.

(I’ll get to how to tie off loops in a minute)

But loops don’t only exist in fiction.
