Misconception #1: “Length = Quality”
A "good" piece of writing is the one that solves a reader's problem in the most efficient way possible.
Some times that requires a long-form piece. Sometimes it doesn't.
Don't write long-form just for the sake of it.

Misconception #2: “SEO kills creativity”
A lot of writers say SEO ruins their creative process.
But this is a myth!

Misconception #5: “SEO is complicated”
You can boil down all the good SEO advice out there to 3 simple principles:

These won't.

Misconception #6: “SEO = keyword stuffing”
Yes, a lot of SEO writers do this.
But that doesn't mean you too need to do it to leverage Google's algorithm.
You can get great results by strategically adding keywords in your headline and throughout your article.

But if you really have something to say, you should - even if there's no search volume proving demand.
