Don’t let self-doubt win. Here are 3 tips to become a better digital writer

Over 12 months ago, I wanted to become a better writer and practice publishing daily.
I’ve learned a ton, but if I could go back and start again, here are 3 tips I’d get started with immediately:

1. Start by writing what you know

• Build momentum
• Focus on familiar topics
• Build authority
• Have fun!

👉🏼Starting here helps keep you motivated

1. Research to confirm what your would-be clients find valuable

• Stay relevant — what does your audience want to know?
• Listen for signals — engagement, ease of writing
• Helps identify topics/themes that resonate with your audience

👉🏼Your writing works WITH your audience

1. Publish it!

• Put your work out into the world
• Feedback loops wins the race
• Double down on what is working

👉🏼Don’t let self-doubt win. Every word you write is an opportunity to learn and grow as a writer.

You’ll quickly earn trust with a new community. Some of them may be potential clients.

If you’re passionate about sharing your work online, writing is one of the best places to begin.
