How To Improve Your Writing 10x

5 Lessons In 5 Tweets

[ THREAD ]

Let's go👇
1: Cut Extra Words

Bad writing comes from cluttered thinking. Your readers don't have time to wade through needless verbiage to locate your point.

1. Decide what you want to say
2. Say it
3. Cut it in half

You'll become a stronger writer when you stop trying to sound smart.
2: Use Direct Language

Never conceal your point.

Figure out what you want to say.

Then say it.
3: Compose Short Sentences

Vary your sentence length for rhythm and interest.

But keep your average sentence punchy.
4: End Sentences Emphatically

Amateurs write sentences that fizzle.

The final word or phrase should pack heat.
5: Employ Strong Verbs

Writing is like a party.

Verbs are the people: They *are* the party. And some people are way cooler than others.

Adjectives are the booze: Not necessary, but they make things fun.

Adverbs are the balloons: You're an adult, and you don't need them.
That's all friends!

How 6 Simple Ideas Made Me 7 Figures In My Thirties

[ THREAD ]

Let’s go 👇
Conventional career advice hasn’t kept up with the times.
-Get a degree
-Go $150k in debt
-Work a job for 40 years
-Stay loyal to your employer
This "get rich slow" ploy only worked in an analog, pre-globalized society.

You probably feel in your gut something is wrong with this. This plan was great 40 years ago, but the world has moved on.

It’s time for you to take a new approach if you want to keep up.

Step #1: Use Short Words + Contrast

People love short words. And contrast. They make things easy. And the human brain loves easy.

Look below. Apple's writers use 4 words in the headline. 3 of them are 1 syllable.

Add contrast ('small' vs. 'giant'). And our brains eat it up. Image
