How to write a good and impactful article? Just start by reading more, thinking more and writing more

The past April was really a month of fun, learning and brain-burning for me. When I was in class, I reminded myself that I should go home in the evening in May and not sign up for other courses.
Oops! I accidentally saw on LINE that Teacher Vista (opens in a new tab) recently held a Copywriting Class (opens in a new tab) at Xin Forum, and the content of the second class happened to be the topic I wanted to learn. So sign up now!
The second course of the writing series taught by VIsta in Xin Lecture Hall will take everyone to understand the process of content production, including the collection and screening of reference materials, the formulation of content strategies and writing planning, so that the writing process will no longer be complicated, but can have a clear and smooth context.
The most rewarding thing about the entire lecture was the theme of “information collection and screening”. Before, I always thought that as long as I used the master of Google, I would be invincible; but after listening to Teacher Vista’s sharing, I suddenly discovered that-it turns out that the Internet world is so broad, not only Google and Yahoo!, but also many other useful websites. Well, it’s really eye-opening!
Teacher Vista also reminded everyone in class that writing should never rely on inspiration. This is not only a waste of time, but also inefficient. Therefore, you should read more good books, write notes frequently, and observe the title copywriting of peers or other manufacturers. If you still can’t write, you might as well step away from the computer. The teacher encourages everyone to go out and take a walk. Inspiration may come from walking around.
Teacher Vista mentioned that he often visits hypermarkets or convenience stores to observe how fast-paced businesses attract the attention and wallets of consumers. This really impressed me. It turns out that hypermarkets and convenience stores also hide many mysteries!
When he sees the free DM in the store, he will take it and study it. Sometimes when I see some interesting words or titles, I will carefully consider them. The teacher said that these words are sometimes a source of inspiration.
Well, I did this habit for a while, but I didn’t sort it when I got home, and I quickly threw it into the recycling bin. This fully shows that “finishing everything today” is really important. Don’t be too lazy to classify, otherwise the meaning of collection will be lost.
Teacher Vista also mentioned that he will share the method of building an inspiration database (opens in a new tab) in June, which also makes me look forward to it!

In just two hours, Teacher Vista also squeezed out a little time to let everyone practice writing model diagrams similar to the nine-square grid of business models.
I found that as long as you are willing to calm down and think about the topic you want to write about, high-quality articles will be automatically produced after you fill in the boxes one by one. Of course, all this seems simple, but I thought about it. Although the teacher provides good methods, “the master leads the door, and practice depends on the individual”. It still depends on the students to practice more!
During this period, I attended several lectures by Mr. Vista on Content Marketing, and I came home with practical writing skills from each class. I also discovered that only through continuous practice and writing can I produce high-quality works.
