Count Words & Correct Writing With Ease By Following These Tips and Tricks

Becoming a great writer is something that takes a lot of skill and practice. And one way to really enhance those skills is by counting your words.

We as humans all inherently have a lot to say. But sometimes, we tend to say too much. Using a WordCounter helps us stay on track and get the core message of what we want to get across the line in an engaging and effective way.

While many people can read an article for around eight to ten minutes while being engaged, the majority of us start to glaze over after the point is still being articulated 20,000 words in. If something is this long, it should be a book and separated into chapters!

But keeping people interested in your words is not the only reason to count your words. In fact, there is probably a whole range of reasons such as maximizing your SEO efforts, keeping to the rules of an assignment or making content work for a limited space of a marketing campaign or presentation.

Regardless of why you need to count your words, you want to make sure you do so effectively, easily and affordably. Trust us, we are not expecting you to count your words all on your own, as that would become a full-time job in itself.

Counting your words in everything you write will not only enhance your skill set, but also empower you to articulate what you want to say in the most effective way.

To help you master the art of counting your words, we have rounded up the top tips and tricks.

Tip 1: Act Like a Professional

Even if you are still a budding student, you want to still write with the mindset of a professional. This means always holding yourself accountable for how many words you are writing and the efficiency in which you can write them. Once you make it into the professional world of writing, your billables will be largely based on your word count. So start practicing now!

Tip 2: Say What You Want with Minimal Effort

While it can be tempting to sometimes go off on a tangent when it comes to making a point or writing down your ideas in an article, you want to put yourself in the reader’s shoes. They will not want to be bombarded by words. Instead, they will want to read engaging content that is concise and easy to digest.

The word counter tools will enable you to set a goal for yourself of refining what you want to say and sticking within that limit. Plus, if you are publishing your work online, it will help ensure that your work is optimized through SEO efforts.

Tip 3: Count Your Words for Free

Many people do not realize this, but you do not have to actually pay for using word count tools. Instead, you can access free word count tools in a variety of ways. There are three main ways to do this, as follows:

Option 1: Rely on Word Documents

In most cases, you will likely be drafting your content on an actual word document on your computer. There is already a word counter tool that is within these documents, so you can track the number of words or characters you type as you go. If you currently do not have it visible on the document, there are multiple shortcuts to get that integrated, which we highly suggest you do.

Option 2: Get Smarter with Advanced Tools

While the basic word counting tool has its place, it can equally be a bit basic for some needs. If you are a professional writer or an aspiring writer who wants to perfect the art of writing efficiently, then the smarter upgrades of the basic word counter will also track how many words you write an hour or a day. This is especially helpful when it comes to having to create your invoices for publishers or provide quotes to future clients.

Option 3: Maximize Your Opportunity with the Online Tool

But perhaps the best option of all is using the word counter online. What makes this tool so effective is that it does so much more than simply count words and characters. It equally can track keywords, ensure your content is unique and provide other suggestions for optimizing your SEO. This is the recommended last step for any piece of writing so that you can ensure all the boxes are ticked!

Conclusion

There are so many different tips and tricks to counting your words. But regardless of what method you decide to do, know that counting your words is probably one of the most important ways to improve your writing and create fabulous content. Plus, with the ability to do so free, it would be silly to not use these word counting tools in your everyday habits.
