Struggling to write better? Read this 👇🧵
1. Know your audience.
Before you start writing, take some time to think about who your audience is;
- What are they interested in?
- What is their pain point?
- What is their age, and gender?
Be as specific as you can
2. Everyone starts small.
Writing is a skill, and like any skill, it takes time and practice to get better at it.
If you’re just starting out, don’t be discouraged – everyone starts small. Write as much as you can, and don’t worry about being perfect.
3. Use simple words and sentences.
Don't use complicated words and sentence structures.
Avoid jargon and technical terms unless you’re writing for a specific audience that will understand them.
4. Start with a strong headline.
Your headline is the first (and sometimes only) thing your audience will see, so it’s important to make it count.
A strong headline will grab attention and make people want to read more. Not sure how to write a great headline? Check out this guide via @copyblogger

5. Write in short paragraphs.
People have short attention spans, so it’s important to make your writing easy to read.
One way to do this is to write in short paragraphs. This will help break up your text and make it easier for people to scan and digest.
6. Use images, infographics, and videos.
In addition to text, images, infographics, and videos are a great way to break up your content and make it more engaging.
Not only that, but people are more likely to share visual content than text-based content.
7. Edit, edit, edit.
Once you’ve finished writing, it’s important to go back and edit your work.
Look for ways to improve clarity, brevity, and overall quality. A great way to edit your work is to read it out loud.
I recommended using @Grammarly, @HemingwayApp
8. Get feedback from others.
Another great way to improve your writing is to get feedback from others.
Ask a friend or colleague to read your work and give you their honest opinion.
What did they like? What didn’t they like? What could be improved?
9. Keep learning.
Finally, the best way to improve your writing is to keep learning.
Read books and articles on writing, attend workshops and conferences, and practice as often as you can.
The more you learn, the better you’ll write.
Additionally, Where reading other blogs learn how they are structuring their sentences, paragraphs, and blog posts as a whole.
Also, don't forget to read the comments section to get an idea about what people didn't like in the blog post and how you can improve upon it.
