99% of people suck at writing.

Why?

Because they make these 11 silly mistakes over and over again.

Avoid making these mistakes if you want to write “wow” content.

Let’s dive in:

1. You try to write for everyone

If you try to write for everyone you end up writing for no one.

If your targeted reader has no idea if your content is for them or not, they won’t read. Force them to think “This is me, I need to read this”

Be specific with your writing.

2. You overuse the word “that”

You can remove this word 95% of the time.

Want an example to understand it?

❌ You think that I’m a good writer, but I’m not.

✅ You think I’m a good writer, but I’m not. Just remove it.

3. You use lengthy words

Academic writers use lengthy words, you’re not an academic writer.

Are you?

So write simple words.

Because they’re easy to read and easy to remember.

Ex:

• Utilize → Use
• Proficiency → Skill
• Component → Part

4. You don’t read your work out loud

You sound like Shakespeare until you don’t read your work out loud.

Why you should read out loud? —

• It catches your errors
• It catches your mistakes
• It shows your writing fluency
• Read. Out. Loud.

5. You sound like a zombie

Write words that make sense.

Digital writing is not your academic writing. You’re not here to get good grades or to get a degree.

You’re here to:

• Educate them
• Entertain them
