Cohort Day
6
Hey there,
Here’s a quick email sharing the 3 quickest ways to improve your writing:
1. Make your writing easy to read
- Keep your paragraphs short and avoid walls of text
- Use descriptive headers that prepare the reader for the section
- Use bullets and lists
2. Write Less
- When in doubt, shorten your post
- Challenge yourself to get to the point as efficiently as possible
- Take advantage of footnotes or links to sources to cut back on words
3. Let AI help you
- Unfortunately, grammatical errors cost you some creditability.
- We’re not perfect, and don’t stress over a few mistakes — I’m sure I have plenty of errors out there!
- However, take advantage of free tools like Grammarly to catch simple mistakes.
