General writing tips

Whether you are writing for B2B or B2C audience, here are some general writing tips you need to follow to ensure your content is great:

1.    Use the words “you” and “I” – using the words “you” and “I” within your content will create a feeling of a conversation between you and your readers, which will keep them engaged longer.

2.    Keep it simple – don’t try to use fancy words within your posts. If a fifth-grader can understand your vocabulary, you’re doing well. Otherwise, you will lose a lot of readers.

3.    Get to the point – no one likes reading fluff. The quicker you get to the point, the better.

4.    Use sub-headings – using headings within your post will make content more skimmable.

5.    Make your headline eye-catching – from creating a sense of urgency to creating curiosity or making a promise, make sure your headline is attractive enough so people will want to read the rest of your content.

6.    Limit your paragraphs – ideally, your paragraphs shouldn’t be longer than 5 to 7 lines. This will make your content easy to read.

7.    A picture says a thousand words – all text with no images makes content boring.

8.    Make your images relevant – don’t use pictures for the sake of using them. Make sure they are relevant to your content.

9.    Create an expectation within your intro – once people read the intro, they should know what to expect from the rest of your post.

10. Let your personality shine – from vulnerability to humor, show off your personality. Let your readers get to know you.

11. Bold, italicize, and underline – if you are trying to emphasize a point, consider bolding, italicizing, or underlining certain phrases.

12. Tell a story – stories hook readers and keep them entertained.

13. Wrap it up – make sure your readers get your point by the time they finish reading your post.
