When I started writing content for technical blogs and websites about 4 years ago, I was highly tempted to use heavy and fancy words.

But honestly, when I read my content from back then, I realize that I probably wouldn’t have hired myself.

Over the years, I have understood the necessity of simplicity.

The value is not in the word, but it is in its power to convey ideas to the readers.

The clearer, the better.

If you cannot add value to your readers, you are stealing their time.

This tip does not just concern writers, but also clients who feel that complex write-ups loaded with jargon will make their website look more authentic.

People browsing your website are mostly the ones without the technical know-how that concerns your product.

That is why they came looking for the service in the first place.

The trick is simplicity. It will get you more leads and much more promise.

Any day.
