Top 6 Tips to Badger Your Way to a Rewrite
1. Use Bullets and Lists
Bulleted lists and numbered lists both are excellent ways to break up chunks of text and make what you have to say easier on the eyes.
According to Crazy Egg
- 80% of people would rather read a bulleted list than a block of text.
- People can read a bulleted list 50% quicker than a block of text.
- 70% of people admit to scanning a webpage before reading word-for-word.
2. Keep Paragraphs Short
People don’t like reading huge blocks of text online. So keep your paragraphs short and snappy, somewhere around 3 sentences per paragraph.
3. Break Up Your Text With Subheadings
Just like paragraphs, subheadings break up your text and make it easier to read. They also help people skim a blog post quickly and find what they are looking for.
4. Optimize for Skimming
Most readers online skim content. This means they quickly glance over the page to get a gist of what the page is about.
Backlinko says
"The goal of your content should be to make it as easy as possible for people to skim and understand it."
5. Use Simple Language
One of the most important things you can do for your readers is use simple language. Keep your sentences short and avoid jargon that your audience might not understand.
6. Edit! Edit! Edit!
Once you have written your first draft, go back and edit. This means checking for spelling and grammar errors, but it also means making sure that what you have written is clear and concise.
