Kivi Leroux Miller is one of the leading voices in DIY nonprofit marketing. Her blog, Kivi’s Nonprofit Communications Blog, is full of practical, do-now tips for do-gooders.
Two weeks ago on her main site, Kivi wrote a piece on the pitfalls of wordiness in messaging and how to fix lengthy writing habits. I got down in the word weeds with a guest post outlining the top five words to avoid in your messaging.
Learn why these words should be booted from your messaging vocabulary:
- Provide
- Just
- Trying
- Self-sufficiency
- Thriving Communities
Pick the one you use too much and then take the One Less Word Challenge. How will you replace it?
