7 Simple Writing Hacks to Improve Your Skills

I came across this excellent, to-the-point article by Michael Hyatt in which he shared some simple ways to improve your writing skills. As a veteran writer, I can tell you that he is right. 

Here are a couple of his tips. You can see original article source for the rest.

Here are seven quick “tricks” that can improve the very next piece you write.

 

Know your reader.

This means more than knowing a few demographics (how old they are, their average income, etc.). To know your readers means you understand their fears, frustrations, and aspirations. Writing from the reader’s perspective will dramatically change the way you write.

 

Know your objective.

Every piece you write (blog post, press release, video script, or anything else) must have only one objective. I call this objective the Most Wanted Result, or “MWR.” Knowing your MWR forces you to write with crystal-clear focus.

 

Use short words.

To persuade, you must be easy to understand. Using short words is one of the best ways to do this. Don’t show off how many big words you know.

Thanks, Michael! People are busy. They don't want to be hit with grandiose words and mounds of pointless verbosity.
