10 simple ways to make your
marketing writing EASIER and more FUN
ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS:
Writing content for your website, newsletters, and social media doesn’t have
to be difficult.
Here are some tips to add more JOY and EASE into your writing
Because when it’s more fun to
WRITE, it’s more fun to READ
TIP 1: ESTABLISH A WRITING SCHEDULE
• Aim for at least 15 minutes a day
• Make it the same time every day to create rhythm and routine
• Give yourself plenty of TIME to complete projects – it takes the pressure off and allows you to PLAY with your words more
TIP 2: SILENCE
YOUR INNER CRITIC
You know the little voice that whispers
your writing isn’t any good and tries to edit
the words before they’re even out of
your HEAD? Tell that joker to take a hike.
Tip 3: Kick off every writing session with a
creativity-sparking warm-up " Word association " Stream of consciousness " Write “three wishes” " Summarize the last book you
read or movie you watched " Describe a recent event from
someone else’s perspective " Write about the last dream
you had " Write about WHY you can’t
write today " Write a journal entry " Or...?

Tip 4: Make it easier on yourself
by following a logical step-by-step process
By completing the steps in the right order you create more FLOW =
less effort and more fun
Tip 5: Let your inner
editor out of the cage – AT THE RIGHT TIME
Once your words are down on the page,
THAT’S when it’s time to start playing with them – not before.
Tip 6 Get feedback from people
who aren’t afraid to tell you the truth ���������������������
MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO…
Tip 7 Spend more time
reading great online writing
Tip 8 Spend more time writing!
(Drinking is optional. Ha!)
Tip 9 Go easy on yourself
Don’t worry if your writing isn’t “perfect” right out of the gate –
polish and style develop over time.
Tip 10 Remember: the more you write, the better you’ll get
“If you write one story,
it may be bad; if you write a hundred,
you have the odds in your favor.”
– Edgar Rice Burroughs
