Write for Humans, Not Robots

You want your writing to be clear and concise, but you also want it to sound natural and friendly. Maybe you've even heard that you should write for robots, not for humans—but does that really make sense?

Of course not! You're writing for humans. And the best way to do that is by using language that is easy-to-understand and friendly.

I know it sounds obvious, but it's something that can get lost in the shuffle of the daily grind. When you're working on a piece of content, whether it's for your blog or for a client, make sure you're writing for real people—not just to fill up space or keep the page count down.

If you write with a human voice in mind, your audience will feel more connected to what you have to say. They'll feel like they're being invited into your world and that they understand how you think and feel about something. They'll also be more likely to remember what they read and share it with their friends and family.

There are a lot of ways to write for humans, but if you're looking for a good place to start, I have some tips to help you out.

The first thing you want to do is make sure that your writing is clear and easy-to-understand. You want your readers to be able to read it and understand what you're saying without having to go back over the same sentence multiple times.

When writing for humans, don't write like a robot would—which means no jargon, no complex sentences that take three readings just to figure out what they mean, and no passive voice. Instead, use short sentences with active verbs and clear language.

Don't be afraid of repetition—it's okay if you repeat yourself every now and then! If your audience needs more information about something, make sure they have it right away in case they forgot what was said before or missed part of it by accident.

It's also important that when writing for humans, make sure there's an emotional connection between them and what they're reading (if possible). You can do this by using descriptive words like "beautiful" or "delicious" instead of just saying "good." This will help keep readers interested throughout their entire reading experience!

If you're a writer, you've probably heard this advice before. It's a common refrain in the writing world and it's often repeated as a way to remind us that we should be writing with our readers in mind, rather than just trying to get the words out there. But I'm here to tell you that it's more than just a catchy phrase: it's something we can ACTUALLY do! And it'll make all the difference in your ability to connect with your readers on social media.

When I'm writing my articles, I always try to think about who my audience is and how they would respond if we were talking in person. This helps me write better headlines, find the right tone for my voice, and overall create things that are more likely to resonate with them.

In Conclusion

Humans are a lot like robots. They have eyes, ears, and mouths. They can see what you're saying and hear what you're saying. And they can respond with words of their own.

But there's one big difference: humans are not robots! They don't work like robots—they don't always do the same thing over and over again with no variation. In fact, the best way to talk to a human is by being human yourself!

When you write for robots, you miss out on an opportunity to connect with real people. It can feel like a waste of time at first, but if you want people to actually want to keep coming back to your site and read more of what you've got to say, then it's worth putting some extra effort into writing from a human perspective.
