When you start a blog, you’re probably excited to get your first post out there. You have all these ideas in your head of what it should look like and how it should sound, but as you begin writing, something starts to feel off. You know the content is good, but something about it just isn’t right. The problem is that we tend to over-complicate things when we write. We think that if we don’t hit 100% on every detail that our content will be too simple or boring. But this is not true.
In fact, the opposite is more often true: boring content can be more effective than complex content because it forces people into a certain mindset and makes them pay attention to a specific topic. So how do we fix this? By doing a fun review of your first blog post! This process forces you to step back from the content and give it a second thought, which will help you figure out what went wrong with your writing and how you can improve for next time around.
