Hello Steemit friends,
Yes, we have an AMAZING ! platform
We all can make decent $ just by Creating Contents !!
I wouldn’t call myself a Writer although there’s a saying "Anyone can write”
I doubt it that I’m at that level. I personally think I am not even close to reaching that aim I urge for. Growing up, I was taught both Thai and English at the same. I still consider myself as a ESL (English as Second Language) person, as my main usage of communication is Thai.I love how great writers express themselves in such original ways and easily.
On Steemit, we have so many talented and inspirational writers. You all have influenced me to continuously improve. I have been reading and studying more on this topic. Basically, I am not here to teach you how to write better but I want to share what I have learned as a newbie myself.
Writing Is A Habit, Not An Art.
You’d Think great writer just have it. They have that special gift of inspiration to produce great work. Actually, It’s just because the simple key to be a better writer is to write. They Write.....
Make a good habit of it as a great author Gretchen Rubin quote “ Habits Are the Invisible Architecture Of Everyday Life”. You don’t have to write a lot, just write often. Don’t make it an obligation like a 5 hours, once a week practice thing. Writing 30 minutes every day is claimed to be much more valuable.
First Impression Counts. Keep It Sexy
Put the most important ideas at the beginning of each sentence. If we start our sentences with boring junk, readers will have to work harder to understand what exactly we are trying to say.
Give the first sentence a friendly and impressive to encourage readers to keep on going. These are sample of starting words that might be better not place them at the beginning of your sentence.
Phrases to avoid at the starting of a sentence:
According to…..
There is a…..
In my opinion...
I think that….
Make Small paragraphs.
People like simple and easy to read. So large paragraphs aren’t appealing. Long paragraphs are depressing while white spaces gives oxygen and makes your work more readable.
Relaxing your content by keeping your paragraphs less than around 5–7 lines
Short paragraphs improve quality of understanding, reader engagement and increase focus.
Think As Your Readers
Ask These Questions To Yourself:
What experience is this creating for the reader?
What questions might they have?
Am i thinking them too hard to figure out what I am trying to say ?
Good writing serves the reader and not the writer. Get out of you head and give empathy for the experience you are giving. Starting by create your first draft the way you usually do, then go back and swap place with your readers and consider things from their point of view.
Cool visuals.
Most of the major social media platforms heavily are incorporate visual content. Think of a visual and a social media channel, Instagram or Pinterest often come to mind because they are primarily visual platforms.Generally speaking, you should use at least one image in your articles for every 350 words you write.
Most People Like learning with image related
Add images
Use videos.
Use memes.
Use gifs.
Use graphs and charts.
There are no set rules and ways to write great. The goal here is to grow bit by bit while slowly and surely improving to communicate well. I have just started my journey here and trying to flourish my skill as the goal is to show my style and voice that is uniquely me. We have a great opportunity here to grow with others so take it and bloom with Steemit.
