Oh to be 9 again!


Welcome back to our 'one small thing' series, where we share one small thing to help you, your business, or your client's business!


Let’s be honest: most people aren’t properly reading your social media posts. At best, they’re scanning.

And when they do read them, they’re processing your copy at the level of a 9-year-old. 😳

So, as a social media manager (or ads manager) simplifying your copy matters is really important because:

1️⃣ Confused people don’t convert
If your message isn’t instantly clear, people won’t stick around to figure it out.

2️⃣ You’re writing for brains in scroll mode
Even when people do stop to read them, they're skimming the copy, not reading it in full (bet you're doing that now!)

3️⃣ Good ideas get lost in word soup
You might know what you’re saying, but if it’s buried in jargon or long-winded sentences, no one else will.

That’s why we love this free tool.

It checks your readability score before you post, so you can make sure your captions are at the right level for your readers.

Bookmark it, run your copy through it (especially if ChatGPT got wordy again), and keep it simple.

P.S. It told us this email should be readable by an 11-year-old. We’ll aim for nine next time 😅

Ever buy something expecting it to be a bit “meh”… but end up completely obsessed?
