🧐 YOU Might Be Focusing on the Wrong Screen
|
You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens.So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a phone, you’re not meeting your audience where they actually are. You’re designing for yourself, not for them. If you keep doing that, you’re just talking to your own screen. So how do you fix that? Or at least, how do you make sure you’re doing it right? ➡️ Read your own stuff on your phone Open your blog, website, online store, or newsletters on your phone (from different browsers), on normal cellular data, not WiFi. If it loads slowly, elements lag, or feels tight, that is what your readers feel. ➡️ Write for small screens Use short lines, clear breaks, and simple headings. No giant blocks of text. Your reader is scrolling between your messages, not sitting with a coffee and a big monitor. ➡️ Make content that lives in apps Turn your big ideas into posts, threads, stories, and short videos. Let people find you where they already scroll, then send them to longer content only when it makes sense. If you want help, I explained this more in a blog post here, so you can learn how to correctly do content repurposing the easy way. ➡️ Watch your numbers Check how much of your traffic is mobile. If fewer people visit from mobile, it might mean your mobile layout is weak. Fix the mobile view first because that is where most people come from now. And if fixing design is not your thing, you can hire a freelancer to sort it out for you. Here’s where you can find them. Your work deserves attention. Now make sure it fits in your reader’s hand.

Yesterday, I read about a creator named Jackie Dubois. She started a TikTok account to share her paintings. She grew past 230,000 followers, and her art sales turned into a six-figure income. Then she quit social media. Not because she failed. Because the push to post all the time, deal with comments, and stay on was messing with her mind. She said in her own words: “It’s really overwhelming — the highs and the lows.” She is not the only one feeling this. Her story lines up with what the new...
Last night, I was reading a Forbes article about connected marketing for 2026. It talked about how big brands are finally treating all their channels as one system, not random posts. And I thought, this is exactly where many online business people get stuck. See, for example, you post on Instagram, write a blog, send an email, but nothing seems linked. The idea is simple. Every channel should help guide one person on one clear path. Start with the first click, build up trust step by step, and...
Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When you’re building something online, talking to “everyone” is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobody’s caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...
