If you know me, you know I'm not a big fan of tools and software that get in the way of work. I'm very much a beliver of "K-I-S-S" and no-frills.

BUT! There are a few things I love. Quick thread :)
1. @crowdcastHQ: This is my favorite video broadcasting tool to use for live video trainings.

The reason: it’s super easy to use and it’s affordable.

I did ~10 sessions last year and LOVED IT. bit.ly/3828sJ4
2. @ConvertKit: For years my newsletter ran through Mailchimp, but I migrated over to ConvertKit last year because it was better suited to my needs.

So far, my deliverability & open rates are WAY up. bit.ly/3bKTiJa
3. @Grammarly: The Chrome extension is a must-have.

Great for catching errors and suggesting improvements that make your writing stronger (as well as saving you from the occasional spelling/grammar error in a tweet.) bit.ly/2OgRoaX
4. @BrainfmApp: I don’t know about you, but I can’t work with much background noise.

I do, however, love working with headphones on while I listen to this app's focus-inducing soundscapes. They help get me in the zone. bit.ly/3b1XkOa
5. @squarespace: My website runs through Squarespace and was built out by my business partner/husband @bk_moore.

It’s simple to use and update, the hosting is very reasonable, and it’s completely customizable. bit.ly/2Oa85F6
I'll likely add to this thread down the road, but those are my go-to things right now...
6. @podia: I haven’t made my storefront public yet on Podia, but I'm building it out and will have digital resources laughing here soon.

I’ve been a loyal customer for years (just need to get this baby live!)

Want to become a better writer in just 30 days?

Here's how to do it. Thread!
1. Create a daily writing routine.

If you want a daily writing habit to stick, you need to bake it into your daily routine.

Pick a consistent time every day and hold yourself to it. It can be 10 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour—whatever feels most realistic to you.
2. There WILL be days that you either don’t feel like writing or have no clue what to write.

That’s okay, but you need to stick to the routine if you want to become a better writer.

@maneszjt uses a spreadsheet to track his daily writing practice:

A lot of people ask about how I approach the thousands of words I write every week.

Quick thread!
1/ It all starts with a Google Doc that includes:

-Project specifications (word count, summary, goals)
-Company style guide
-Relevant links; research
-Keywords

Now the blank page isn’t so blank anymore.

Filling in basic information is a great trick to get the ball going.
2/ I've created a brief template so I'm not gathering these sections every time I get a new assignment

(It's included here: kaleighmoore.com/products/freel…)

It’s shocking to me how many companies throw money at content marketing with zero strategy behind it—just some loose terms to target for SEO.

You can get much better ROI if there’s a method to the madness.

Some suggestions...
Take a journalistic/reporting approach.

Connect the dots around themes, patterns, and trends in your space. Make new points. Add to the existing conversation.
Tell stories.

Pull back the curtain on your company. Spotlight clients with success stories. Talk about wins and failures. Add a human element to your brand.

Not sure how to develop your own writing voice?

You can actually use punctuation to stylize your writing voice in a big way.

Quick thread on how to do it! ✍️
1. The colon

Colons are great for two key things: Emphasis and reinforcement.

If you’re introducing a quote, you can use a colon instead of a comma to emphasize the message inside the quotes.

Example: My mom always told me: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.”
2. The em dash

This one’s my personal favorite. An em dash is what to use when you’re interrupting yourself with an interjection or something you want to draw attention to.

Example: I need a vacation—I mean, who doesn’t, really—but I have a hard time giving myself permission.

1/ Today's writing lesson: How to transition between paragraphs (and ideas.)

This is a tough thing, but it's all about *building bridges.*

Here's what you need to know. THREAD!
2/ Bridges and transitions are phrases and words that help your writing flow better.

Without them, your article might feel jumpy, abrupt, or hard to follow.

Try these tactics when you notice this in your writing.
3/ Sequential transitions, AKA pointing out a relationship between two ideas.

To connect ideas that are related, use a transition like 'As a result' or 'This implies that' to continue the thread you're building.

Want to know the secret to getting past the blank page when you sit down to write?

Here's how I've mastered it. THREAD!
1. You need to write an ugly first draft.

This doesn’t have to be pretty, make sense, or go into detail yet — it just needs to be words on the page.

I’ve seen lots of people talk about the idea of “writing ugly” at a high level, but not many that spell out how to do it.
2. First things first: Create a framework.
Before you try to get too in-depth, create a loose framework. It should look something like:

· Intro
· Background
· Specific Points/Ideas/Tips
· Conclusion

This allows you to visualize what you'll build upon. It’s your road map.
