LESSON 5 · Write It Right
Your Writing Checklist
Run through these before you hit publish on a professional social platform:
- First-line test: Would you stop scrolling for your own opening sentence?
- Buzzword scan: Cut "excited to announce," "humbled," and "thought leader."
- Paragraph check: Keep LinkedIn paragraphs short, often one or two sentences.
- Specificity audit: Replace vague claims with numbers, names, or concrete details.
- Call to action: End with a question or an invitation to engage.
- Read-aloud test: If it sounds stiff when spoken, rewrite it.
Great social media writing is not about perfect grammar. It is about an authentic voice, clear ideas, and the courage to post.
