Owning an online business means you get to wear a lot of hats. Bookkeeper, project manager, website developer, and perhaps most important hat of all, that of content creator.
In fact, I can’t think of a single business that doesn’t require writing of some kind. You have emails to send, products to develop, sales pages to create… The list goes on.
Even YouTubers or podcasters will tell you that much of their work is in writing (or at least outlining) the content that drives their business.
Yet if you ask most people, they’ll tell you “I hate to write” or, “I’m just not a good writer.”
If that’s you, then listen up, because today I have a plan you can use to become a better writer, even if you’d rather schedule a root canal than draft a blog post.

Resources mentioned:
Grammarly – Misspelled words , apostrophe abuse, and poor grammar are no match for this useful tool.
Hemmingway App – Named after a writer famous for his short, simple sentences, this app is great for those of us (me) who tend to use more commas than periods.
On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft – This book by horror novelist Stephen King is part memoir, part instruction manual. It’s entertaining, informative, and he is unaccepting of your excuses for not writing more.
The Artist’s Way – If you struggle to make writing a habit, you could do worse than to follow Julia Cameron’s morning pages routine.
