Simplicity Revisited - the KISS Formula

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

So, here's where I was going with my thoughts on Simplicity, as started in my last blog. I mentioned the KISS formula:

Keep It Simple Stupid

As anyone who has spent time in the training, bootcamp or researching blog writing how-to's - knows that it is suggested that you write between 750 and 2000 words for each post. I personally get come up with between 500 and 1500. Sometimes more. Sometimes less.

But, to me, the worst thing you can do is to try and fill out your posts with a lot of unnecessary verbiage just to fill out the page.


A Google online search shows that the definition of verbiage is ver·bi·age is "speech or writing that uses too many words or excessively technical expressions."

And that's all I'm trying to say. Don't get caught up in mumbo jumbo and technical jargon for the sake of making your posts longer. It will only become less readable and you'll end up putting your audience to sleep before they finish reading your blog.

Haven't you ever nodded out in front of the computer? Do you wish to be the reason someone else does? Don't you want a KISS before you fall asleep?

Yeah. Me too.
