How I Joined Uma Madhavi’s 6 days content writing webinar?

It is an interesting story.

I am a blogger. I am a member of a premium blogging group on Facebook. In the group, someone posted the query.

I was also looking for the same.

In the comments, members suggested joining HubSpot's free content marketing course. And Someone suggested follow Neil Patel blogs and try to replicate his style of writing. The other comments suggested Contentvidhya.com.

I surprised because of Deepak Kanakaraju (I am his fan since 2017) and Avi Arya is recommending Uma Madhavi for content writing and her 6 days workshop.

Before this, I don’t know who is Uma Madhavi is.

If they are recommending her for content writing then she must be a wonderful writer. These influencers only recommend quality services (I believe).

So I thought to try it. This is how I joined the workshop.

Hey my friend, here I am giving you an honest review of the workshop.

Let’s jump in.

A Ton of content writing Strategies

The online class opens at 8:00 PM in Zoom chat. Over 200+ students joined the workshop.

On day one Uma Madhavi taught us about content creation strategies. Like how to research, how to write and edit the content. Free blogging platforms like Medium, Blogspot, WordPress are ideal to start content writing.

I like her KISS-Keep it Simple and Short formula of writing.

The assignment was simple. One assignment was on creating a headline and the other was on writing an introduction about 100 words. I enjoyed the assignment.

Day 2

On the second day, I learned about images. How to use them with content and learnt Advanced Google image research.

She suggests using Arial, Times new roman, Georgia fonts. I wasn’t aware of this now I got it.

Uma has given outstanding writing strategies I will mention some here:

Keep an outline always

Have a captivating opening sentence

Use 8th-grade language

Keep paragraph shorter and the list continues.

I can’t give all her writing strategies here because I consider it is not ethical.

While writing the conclusion she suggests asking a provocative question at the end of your article can increase engagement.

Look at the below conclusion of Neil Patel. This post has over 150 comments.

So, questions are super helpful.

They merged day one and day two assignments as one.

The second-day assignment I wrote about writer’s block and the title is:

“How to overcome writer’s block 9 powerful techniques.”

What do you think about the headline?

Day 3

It is all about copywriting.

I love copywriting. Because I want to become a copywriter.

Uma Madhavi tweaked the copy with examples. She taught us about how to create an excellent copy and gave strategies to build an outstanding copy.

Some simple strategies:

Target the emotions of your reader

Don’t make it all about yourself

Make it conversational

She gave 15 strategies for creating an excellent copy. The assignment was on copywriting but honestly; I cannot complete it within the deadline.

They give you a one-day deadline on assignments. Sometimes deadlines may vary.

Note: Content Vidhya claims six days workshop, but actually it is five days workshop. Uma Madhavi took off on the fourth day.

The uniqueness of Uma Madhavi is she slice and dice the topic to make it easy even to kids.

Final days of Workshop

On the fifth day, she distributed the secret recipe. Her method of finding a niche simple yet effective. But I knew my topics. So, the method is useful if you are confused about selecting your niche.

She recommends asking these questions will resolve your confusion

What do you enjoy doing?

What do you get the compliment mostly for?

Make a list of topics you can talk about, skilled at everyday

I learnt about career opportunities in writing. Plenty of career options like copywriting, content writing and web content writing and many more. My choice copywriting.

What is yours? Let me know .

She taught us how to leverage social media like Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram to get more clients and build your brand.

What not to Expect From the Workshop

You don’t learn affiliate marketing from the workshop. Uma Madhavi is content writing specialist , not an affiliate marketing pro. In the workshop, she explains the basics of affiliate marketing. However, you learn how to write articles for affiliate products.

from the workshop. , not an affiliate marketing pro. In the workshop, she explains the basics of affiliate marketing. However, you learn how to write articles for affiliate products. You don’t learn complete blogging and digital marketing here.

and here. All your questions are not answered in the live session. Most of the time she will not answer because of the large audience. However, you can contact her through emails and your queries might be resolved.

Workshop videos are available only for one week or ten days. Don’t worry, you get workshop materials to your emails.

In a nutshell, the workshop is recommended for content writing because Uma Madhavi teaches you complete content writing strategy. The materials are with great value if you practice it.

The workshop is for both beginner and professionals and worth the money. Your content writing confidence will boost up.

A big thanks to Uma Madhavi.
