Presentwho I am now
Good morning, I'm Anjali Mishra, a content writer with three years at a fintech company in Chandigarh. I write blogs, product pages and email newsletters in English and Hindi, mostly about loans and savings.
Pastwhat I have done
Last year, I wrote sixty articles on personal finance for our blog. I checked every fact with our compliance team and used simple examples, like how a home loan EMI really works. Together those articles brought around one lakh twenty thousand organic visits, and two of them are still our top lead sources. I also learnt that a boring headline can sink a good article.
Futurewhy this role
I'd like to step up to a content strategist role, planning topics and guiding other writers. Your company writes for first-time investors, and that is the audience I enjoy writing for most. I can share my published work and two Hindi articles right now, and I'm ready to take a writing test.

3 things to include
Your niche
Fintech, health or travel? A niche makes you the obvious pick for that subject.
A number from your writing
Visits, leads or sign-ups from your articles show business results, not just word counts.
How you check facts
In sensitive subjects like money, a line about verification builds trust.
2 things to avoid
Calling yourself creative
Creative is a word. Sixty published articles is evidence.
Only talking about style
Marketing heads care about readers and results. Style is the means, not the point.
