Day 6: The 3 quickest ways to improve your writing

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.
