Build a site you (and your readers) will love BetterExplained:
Write well
Writing well is hard. Really hard. My definition means:
- Timeless content that is still relevant in a year.
- Original thought and deep insights that aren’t immediately obvious. If sharing details, organize them in a clever way.
- Fun to read. Write for people. Use humor, quotes, stories. Remember: I’m Kalid, you’re you, and we’re having a conversation. This is no textbook.
- Succinct, clear, and organized. I want to pump ideas into your head as fast as possible (I hope you don’t mind). Fewer words = faster intake = happier user.
That’s the goal, not that I always reach it.
Why write quality, not quantity? In my experience, an outstanding post trumps a dozen average ones. Top posts create traffic, links, diggs, and get people talking. You receive emails and comments which make your day and motivate you to write more, and better. Sub-par posts dilute your site and waste time.
Astound visitors with the quality of your content. Define your own quality bar and run towards it. Be merciless when revising. Don’t be afraid to fix up old posts — streamlining previous articles is good practice.
