How to edit digital content like a pro
The process to edit digital content usually goes like this—
1- Review the content: The first step for a digital content editor is to review the entire creative asset without making any changes. For editors itching to dive in, this is the hardest part!
2- Make structural improvements: A digital content editor typically focuses first on making structural changes to improve the organization of the content.
3- Move content that’s misplaced: Digital content editors aim to use all of a creator’s content by identifying opportunities to move content to where it can be most effective.
4- Edit for accuracy: Digital editors make sure that what you’re asserting is correct by checking all facts using credible sources.
5- Edit for tone: Part of the digital content editing process is optimizing (if needed) the tone of the creative asset. Enhanced word choices are your content editor’s specialty.
6- Edit for flow and clarity: The next step is for your digital content editor to review the marketing asset for clarity. With so many editorial changes freshly made—it’s vital to ensure that the content is clear and flows smoothly.
7- Proofread: A great digital content editor always reviews the document for basic errors in punctuation, grammar, and spelling.
8- Be the audience: The last step for your digital content editor is to be your audience. She skims the content one more time, making sure that even someone in a rush can still benefit from what they’re seeing.
