Imagine you're writing online every day, but no one is paying attention.
There could be many reasons behind it — but one major reason might be this: Your content sounds robotic.
It happens. Because whether it's your reader or you, we all prefer writing that feels natural and human.
That’s why experienced writers and speakers often give the same piece of advice to improve your writing and speaking:
👉 “Do it conversationally. Make it sound natural…”
If you're into writing or content creation, learning to write in a conversational tone isn’t just a tip — it's a must. Conversation writing speaks directly to your reader and feels like a real conversation, and that’s what builds trust and connection.
But here’s the thing — many writers ignore this crucial element. I did too, in my early writing days. Now, I make a conscious effort to bring a conversational tone into everything I write — so my readers feel it’s raw, real, and reflective of their own thoughts.
And here’s why it matters more than ever 👇
📌 According to this report, 86% of consumers prefer brands that interact naturally whereas 80% of marketers find that conversational writing improves audience engagement.
In this article, I’m going to highlight 5 specific tips and steps to integrate conversational writing into your content.
5 Tips to integrate Conversation Writing into your content
Tip 1. Adopt a Relatable Tone
For a writer, author, or creator, establishing Voice, Tone, and Style is non-negotiable. You have to design it yourself. But to connect with others, you need to make this tone relatable.
Follow these 3 simple tips:
Use contractions: Replace "do not" with "don’t" and "you are" with "you’re" to mimic natural speech. It makes your writing natural, real, and raw.
Address the reader directly: Use "you" and "your" to create a one-on-one connection. For example:
“Imagine you’re struggling with making money using writing…”
This helps readers place themselves in the scenario and keeps them hooked.
Add emotional interjections: Use phrases like “Aha!”, “Yikes!”, or “Here’s the deal…” to sound approachable.
💡 Micro-CTA: Try adding these in your next Instagram or blog post and see how your engagement improves.Tip 2. Simplify Language & Structure
Simplicity is the first principle in any field—whether it’s life, business, or service. We all look for simple solutions. As a writer, it’s your job to make your content easy to digest.
Here are 3 tips:
Avoid jargon: Replace technical terms with plain language. For example, use "SEO" instead of "search engine visibility."
Write short sentences: Aim for 15–20 words max to improve readability.
Example: “Simplicity is the number one business principle. Apply it in all phases.”
Break up text: Use bullet points, subheadings, and whitespace. Social media demands scannable content.
💡 Micro-CTA: Review your last post. Could you shorten or reformat it for a smoother read?Tip 3. Engage Through Questions
Many people hesitate to ask questions—but as a creator, you must use them to spark engagement.
Try these tips:
Start with a hook: Your first 5 seconds matter. Pose questions like:
“Ever feel like AI content sounds robotic?”
Use rhetorical questions:
“You need writing to express yourself…”
"You need writing to market yourself..."
"You need writing to build brand..."
This is one of my favorite ways to start a LinkedIn post or article.
💡 Micro-CTA: Start your next LinkedIn post with a question and track the difference in interaction.🧠 Side Note: Questions improve your chances in voice search optimization, as more people use conversational queries like “How do I make my content sound natural?”
Tip 4. Leverage Storytelling
Since childhood, we all love stories. They’re not restricted to any age group. Even in business and advertising, storytelling rules.
Even I received recognition and titles by consistently sharing real stories. So, learn this timeless skill.
Here’s how:
Share personal anecdotes: The problems you’ve faced and how you solved them can inspire someone.
For example: “When I first heard about AI tools, I wondered—will it replace writers? Many had the same question, so I wrote about it…”
Include client stories: Don’t just share your journey. Use stories from your clients, mentees, and family members. These make your writing more diverse and real.
💡 Micro-CTA: Write a post this week about a turning point or lesson from a client conversation.Remember this quote, “Stories are remembered up to 22 times more than facts alone.”—Jennifer Aaker.
Tip 5. Optimize for Readability
When I started writing, I received this advice: “Use a tool like Hemingway to check the readability of your content.”
Back then, I didn’t understand. Now, I know it's essential for your readers' ease.
Here are some tricks:
Use active voice: “We created this guide” instead of “This guide was created by us.” It’s direct and conversational.
Read aloud: When you speak your content, you’ll notice awkward phrases. Fix them.
Use tools: Use Hemingway Editor to simplify sentences.
💡 Micro-CTA: Try reading your next blog post out loud before publishing.Remember this cycle👇
✨ Other simple tips you can also follow:
Don’t be afraid to use simple words like “awesome,” “wow,” “tough,” etc.
Avoid passive voice as much as possible
Add emotions where needed
End with curiosity
