Learning to Blogging with Mini-Essays
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2025 10:07 am
You only learn to write by writing, goes an old copywriter's saying. Of course, everyone can write - after all, we all went to school and have put countless letters on paper and keyboards since then. But writing is not texting - and certainly not copywriting.
So how can you learn to write without stress and with joy? When learning, it is important that it does not take too long at the beginning and that you experience success quickly. It is also important that it is easy to receive feedback and corrections.
Almost no one writes a france telegram screening whole book or even a 3000-word blog post straight away. In addition, many people find that when they write, they find it difficult to stick to a narrow topic while still writing it in a way that is as comprehensive as possible and as useful and relevant to the intended readers.
Either the article is too short, or too long (and the topic would have been better planned as a book than as a blog post).
The solution to this problem is simple, obvious and yet hardly anyone comes up with it:
Write mini-essays regularly.
A mini-essay has a single, small topic. It is very short, with 100 to 300 words, and can be written easily in around 10 to 20 minutes, often without much preparation.
