Tips to Maximize Your SteemIt Writing

in #proofreader8 years ago

Your Steemit audience will tune into your message more easily if you practice the following writing strategies.

  • Avoid passive wording
    Simply say "who did what." Think about the source of the action.
  • Ask yourself: "Is this easy to read?"
    Putting yourself in a reader's shoes, will it take more effort than it's worth to read through, process and remember your writing?
  • Ask yourself: "Is there a simpler way to say this"
    Don't say what your going to write, then write it. Just write it.
  • Avoid clichés.
    If you're repeating a figure of speech that you've heard before, think again -- there's a good chance, you sound more amateurish than clever.
  • Use a spell checker.
    This one should be obvious.

This may sound like a lot to remember, but don't worry! I've created a free service that will do it all for you automatically.
