7 Ways To Improve Your Chance of a Published Post
At Mindset Movement, We want your work to get published. We want to share your story, and we want it to be a great experience for our readers. We hope this gives you guidance and clarity throughout your writing process.
Below, we list the 7 Ways To Improve Your Chance of a Published Post.
1. The Blank Canvas.
Allow yourself to create, even bad work, just start. This is a time to explore yourself. It may not be pretty on the page the first time through, but it gives you something to work with. To bend and mold into something meaningful.
Does your topic provide real value to the readers?
Are you doing the topic justice? How engaging is it?
Mindset Movement’s content is at the core of the human experience: psychology, neuroscience, life, adversity, with our mindset playing a leading role. Write about these topics in an embracing and engaging way, and you have a high chance of getting it published on the page.
We are all handed adversity. We can learn from our circumstances in a positive light, and help others to see this light when things become dark for them. We can share our stories, our coping strategies, what we have seen work in our own lives. We can share science, facts, statistics, evidence behind these beliefs. We all have the capacity share knowledge, and we have the ability to show what it truly takes behind the numbers. We can find as much meaning in the joyous moments of our live as well. Embracing and acknowledging the beautiful gift of life that we are given.
Share your wisdom.
2. The Hook.
An engaging personal story. An intriguing fact. An embodied meaningful quote.
How are you going to pull the reader in?
You will need to convince them that this is something worth reading. What will this piece offer them? How will this help them gain a positive perspective, an optimal mindset of which to view life?
3. Engage the Audience.
Writing can become a healthy way of self reflection. While you are speaking about personal experiences, you need to ensure that you are able to provide real value to the readers in these reflections. Engage them, offer them moments of reflection through questioning them. Create work that allows them to walk in your shoes, or to think about their own circumstances. Be human, be yourself. Be relatable. We are exploring life, love, existence, all together.
Write like you speak.
4. Sweet and simple.
A reader can either come for a quick pick-me-up, a short reflection, or a spark of inspiration and knowledge. They did not sign up for a novel, they signed up for a post that is most likely 600-800 words. You don’t need to follow the standard bland 5 sentences per paragraph. Use short words, sentences, paragraphs. Deliver your message in the most effective way that you can. Deliver it with authenticity and meaning.
“The bottom line is this: Write less, not more.”
5. Descriptive detail is key.
A reader wants to flow through your writing, they want to find themselves immersed in it. Take them to the place you found yourself. Descriptive, clearly visualizing the scenario or moment, allowing them to fully experience the topic. Let them feel your words intensely, meaningfully. Use words that pull them in, words that beautifully convey your thoughts and emotions in those moments.
6. Hustle for beautiful writing.
The words can fall easy on the page, or they may come with force. Doing anything new or anything at all can awaken our nature of resistance. Struggling to write something can trick us into believing that we aren’t meant to write in this moment. Don’t let it fool you. Writing takes hustle, continuous effort in allowing your message to be shared. At moments you can break into writing with force, and with time they begin to flow furiously. Enjoy the entire process. It is a gift of patience, reflection, and work.
7. Revise, revise, revise.
For most of my pieces, I rework through the material continuously. I revisit a “finished piece” and walk through deleting, rephrasing, and rewriting countless times to ensure that the material is meaningful and powerful for the reader. I first let the words flow naturally, try not to fight with them as they fall onto the page. After I can clearly see the main concept, I begin revisions. I add and remove. I rewrite. The writing begins to mold into something worthy for the readers, forming into something of value.
Share your writing, and enjoy the process.
