How to Write Like a Pro (Even if You Think You Suck)

You Don’t Suck at Writing. You're just not hooking and retaining people the right way.

In partnership with

👩🏻‍💻 LET’S START WRITING LIKE A PRO

You don’t need a degree, a ghostwriter or Grammarly Premium.

You just need to make people feel something when they read your posts.

Here are 5 no-BS writing rules that’ll instantly level up your content:

🪝 LEAD WITH A HOOK

People scroll fast. You’ve got 1–2 seconds to stop them from scrolling past yours.

Hit them with something punchy:

→ A bold question

→ A spicy opinion

→ A relatable truth

→ A line that makes them feel like you’re talking directly to them

✘ Don’t: “In this post, I want to talk about…”

✓ Do: “You ever feel like your brain’s 12 tabs open and nothing’s loading?”

🧩 WRITE HOW YOU TALK

If it doesn’t sound like you, it’s dead on arrival.

Write like you’re texting your best friend.

→ Add tone.

→ Use short phrases.

→ Sprinkle in your personality.

Robots write to inform. Humans write to connect.

MAKE IT EASY TO READ

If your post looks like a block of text, you’ve already lost.

↳ Use space.

↳ Use bullets and arrows.

↳ Let people skim and still get the point.

Readable → Relatable → Retainable

Read this to learn about how to style your posts:

🤓 DON’T TRY TO SOUND TOO SMART

Complex ≠ clever.

Simplicity always wins.

Your job isn’t to impress. It’s to express in a short, concise manner.

Write so people say:

“Damn, I felt that.” not “Wait… what did i even read?”

❓ END WITH A REASON FOR THEM TO REPLY

Never just fade out.

Close strong with:

➠ A question

➠ A punchline

➠ A memorable takeaway

You’re not writing at people. You’re writing to them.

Make them want to reply — or better, remember your post.

YOUR MISSION (SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT)
