Stop Writing Beige: Why Hedging Language Kills Your Content

"I'm not sure this is the right way to say it, but..." "This might just be my experience, but..." "I could be wrong, but..." Anything like this weakens your writing and makes your point seem vague. Try not to let the fear of being challenged - someone commenting and not agreeing with you - outweigh your ability to be clear and have an actual opinion. It's an easy trap to fall into. The more specific you are in your posts, the more exposed you become and the more nervous you'll be to post. This is part of the trap of using AI to write for you if you don't know the point you want to make. It generates something safe and samey and beige. You feel safe posting it because it's boring and won't challenge anyone but is that really what you want? What would you write if you weren't worried about someone commenting with an alternative opinion? ++ I'm Nigel. I built Ghostart and the Beige-ometer so we don't all die of beige. I help professionals publish LinkedIn posts they actually trust.
