Why listening helped me to write better online
I didn’t know what to write online because I wasn’t listening enough.
I used to be stuck writing ideas online. It was a struggle to write every day. I had to rack my brain.
Force it. It was long.
What I started doing
I started asking questions and listening.
I listened to what people told me on sales calls. I listened to what contacts told me in real life. I listened to what people asked me in email and DM.
What I noticed
I noticed what people wrote in comments. I noticed sticking points with paying clients. I noticed sticking points in my day job
And then I had unlimited ideas. It got easy.
The results
I had enough questions for a 90 minute LinkedIn Live. I have days of posts on my phone. My audience and clients talk to me.
I listen.
Then I write for them. Sometimes I create products for them. Sometimes they buy.
That’s it.
I’ll be taking that learning into my day job as a Head of Communications.
