🚨 I've Done It.

β€’ I've Cracked The Code.

β€’ I've Unlocked The Door.

β€’ I've Solved The Mystery.

OK, Let's Be Real. That's Probably Not True

But Let's See If I Can Help You Out Anyway

πŸ‘‡πŸ» 10 Steps To Writing Better Content πŸ‘‡πŸ»

A THREAD / 🧡
1/ Headlines

β€’ Yours suck, Mine do too. Here's how to make them better.

β€’ Write 10 for each post. Pick the best / throw out the rest

β€’ Make them IMMEDIATELY compelling. Grab the reader or they're gone

β€’ Convey The Benefit. Problem Solved? Question Answered? Skill Taught?
2/ Write What Your Audience Wants To Hear

β€’ You think you know what people want to hear. You don't

β€’ Engage with your audience. Analyze The Data

β€’ Find what works and double down

β€’ Saying you wrote something for yourself is a cop-out
3/ Clarity is King

β€’ Length of content is irrelevant in terms of word count

β€’ Clear, concise, and easily understood = Win

β€’ Confusing = Loss

β€’ Your goal: Provide the greatest value in the least amount of time
4/ Consistency Above All Else

β€’ Show up - every day

β€’ Publish content - every day

β€’ Receive feedback - every day

β€’Β Listen to your audience - every day

β€’ Improve - every day
5/ Perfictionism is Paralyzing

β€’ Stop obsessing over every detail. Hit send

β€’ Share your work and don't be afraid of failure

β€’ Not every article or post has to be a home run

β€’ Just keep swinging, your home run will come
6/ Build In Public

β€’ Writing in obscurity (your blog no one reads) is effectively hiding

β€’ Write on social platforms, that's where your audience lives

β€’ To improve, you have to be willing to come out from behind the curtain

β€’ Find what works for your audience and repeat
7/ Formatting Matters

β€’ Break up sentence size

β€’ Eliminate large paragraphs

β€’ Use bullets and spacing to your advantage

β€’ Copy should be both intelectually and visually appealing
8/ Take Out The Trash

β€’ Get all of your ideas on paper

β€’ Creativity requires a flushing of the mind

β€’ Get the bad ideas out to make way for the good

β€’ Everyone's writing is terrible until the point that it's not
9/ C.U.B. Method

β€’ A simple formula for editing copy

β€’ C - Confusing

β€’ U - Unbelieveable

β€’ B - Boring

β€’ If it's any of these things, it goes
10/ Imposter Syndrome

β€’ Everyone has it

β€’ Your favorite creators still struggle

β€’ The difference is, they keep hitting send

β€’ Push yourself outside your comfort zone
