In this little article, I’ll share with you how to write a review people want to read.

The reason to write a review that people want to read is that quality reviews are scarce.

Unfortunately, many reviewers don’t think about other people when they write reviews, only about their own experiences.

Reviewing a piece of content is naturally selfish

  • If we don’t like something, we’ll share it with everyone, which isn’t very objective.
  • We don’t take different people into account in our reviews — only ourselves.
  • We aren’t consistent with our reviewing criteria
  • We don’t think about who is reading our reviews.

If you think writing a review is hard, you’re right! Hopefully, I will give you a better way to write a review people want to read.

Here’s how step by step:

Step 1: Consume the content twice.

When you consume content twice, it’s easier to detach your emotions from it. One time for pleasure, another time for the review.
