A Quick- Copywriting Technique To Improve Your Writing

If you want to improve your writing, you need to know how to get feedback on your work. And that means learning how to ask for it.

Here's a quick-technique for crafting a question that will get you honest, actionable feedback from your readers.

The first step is to put yourself in your reader's shoes.

Imagine what questions they'll have after reading your draft. Maybe they're confused about the order of steps or are having trouble understanding a complicated concept.

Those are good questions to ask, because if one person had trouble with it, chances are others will too. (Even if there's only one person who has trouble, that's one too many.)

Now here's the important part: You don't want to ask those questions directly.

After all, they're reading your writing—not the other way around! It would be odd (not to mention time-consuming) for them if they had to figure out what parts of your writing were unclear and then tell you how to fix them.

That's like starting dinner by asking people what ingredients you should use and then cooking it based on their answers. No one wants to do that
