Voice & Tone Review
Quick Checks
- •First person? ("I've been", "my experience")
- •Conversational? (like talking to a colleague)
- •Honest about limitations?
- •Personal experience vs generic advice?
- •Any English idioms that confuse non-native speakers?
Red Flags
- •Overly formal language
- •Generic examples ("Let's say you have...")
- •Claims without personal context
- •Marketing speak
- •Phrases like "leverage", "utilize" instead of "use"
Title & Clickbait Check
Watch for clickbait patterns in titles:
- •Excessive superlatives ("worst", "best", "ultimate")
- •Manufactured urgency or drama
- •Promising more than the content delivers
- •"You won't believe..." or similar hooks
Good titles:
- •Honest about scope ("one of my bad habits" not "my worst habit")
- •Clear about what the post covers
- •Personal and specific
- •No artificial drama

This section feels generic - you mention "users might want" but where's YOUR experience? Also caught an idiom: "hit the ground running" might confuse non-native speakers. Try more direct language. The technical explanation is great though - clear and accessible.
