1 Grammar and spelling checkers

One of the most basic tools that you should use to improve your business writing skills is a grammar and spelling checker. These tools can help you identify and correct common errors, such as typos, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, and word choice. They can also suggest ways to improve your readability, clarity, and consistency. Some of the most popular grammar and spelling checkers are Grammarly, ProWritingAid, and Hemingway Editor. You can use these tools online, as browser extensions, or as integrations with your word processor or email client.

What I have used so far are revising the best practices and very good previous examples. Consulting senior colleagues are also good way to improve business reports.

3 Feedback and peer review

A third way to improve your business writing skills is to seek feedback and peer review from others. Feedback and peer review can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, as well as areas for improvement. You can ask for feedback and peer review from your colleagues, managers, mentors, or clients. You can also join online communities and platforms that offer feedback and peer review services, such as Scribophile, WriteMonkey, and Peergrade. When you receive feedback and peer review, you should be open-minded, respectful, and appreciative. You should also try to implement the suggestions and revisions that can enhance your business writing.

One of the best ways to improve your writing is to read others' writing--a lot! If you find a certain turn of phrase or style you really like, consider how you can do something similar.

5 Practice and self-evaluation

A fifth way to improve your business writing skills is to practice and self-evaluate your writing regularly. Practice and self-evaluation can help you hone your skills, develop your voice, and overcome your challenges. You can practice and self-evaluate your writing by setting goals, writing frequently, reviewing your work, and measuring your progress. You can also use tools and resources that can help you practice and self-evaluate your writing, such as prompts, exercises, quizzes, and rubrics. Some of the tools and resources that you can use are Daily Page, Writing Forward, Business Writing Quiz by Oxford University Press, and Business Writing Rubric by ReadWriteThink.

It can feel overwhelming to create content for your brand and we often get stuck on ideation. Start with existing clients story. Reusing client's feedback or stories can be an easy way to start business writing. You can either name them (with permission) or, use general examples based on client's experience. The way your clients talk about the problem you solve is likely similar to the way future clients would express it. You can then create different types of content, such as client's story, client's feedback, what it is like to work with you, a general education content (based off an experience with a client).

Try these tools: 1) ChatGPT—for content ideation 2) Canva—for creating images quickly and easily 3) Grammarly—for grammar checking your work. 4) Hemingway App—for improving the readability of a piece of writing 5) Ulysses or IA —for writing and formatting articles for the web 6) Workflowy—for creating outlines 7) Confluence or Slab—for documentation I would also recommend that you keep a good dictionary nearby. If you've time purchase a style guide from a newspaper or take out a subscription to the Chicago Manual of Style
