First, let's start by figuring out where the question is coming from -
1.
If you are a person who is afraid to look bad and want to have people
evaluate your work in a good light, then you may not want to read any
further. This is an issue of esteem and will get in the way of your
success in everything that you do until you get it corrected.
OR
2.
Are you a person who is looking for constructive feedback so that you
can constantly improve and get better? In that case, this article about How Good is Your Writing is for you and if you follow what is included in this article, you will be in a much better place in the long run.
The
truth is that you probably have a little bit of both parts but this
post will speak to you what was described in the second category.
Here are some tips to better evaluate your work -
1. Step away from it from 15 to 20 days and come back and review it
- When you first write something, you are emotionally attached to what
you wrote. That is not a good time to do the evaluation of your writing
or what you wrote because your emotions may cloud your best judgment.
Publish your work or put it aside for a little while and then come back
to it when the emotional charge has worn down a little bit and you will
be in a much better position to evaluate your work.
2. Use your search engine rankings as a guide
- Google is very good at identifying what content is good in the user's
eyes. The search engines will constantly evaluate your content against
other content and determine what is better. Getting good Google rankings
is a good indication that your content is being well received. This is
not a perfect model but a decent model for you to follow and for you to
consider.
Post your content on Social Media - If your content
draws a lot of attention or gets a lot of likes (on Facebook) then you
will know if it is good or not and if people like what you are writing.
3. Do not judge as good or bad, judge based on objective measures and take the emotion out
- Many people think that everything that they do is great and many
people think that everything they do is really bad. You are probably
somewhere in the middle. Come up with objective measures to evaluate
your work and you will be in a much better position to get better and
make small improvements. Remember that you will not see major
improvements overnight. As a result, you should constantly measure and
re-measure to get the best indication as to whether what you are writing
is good or not and, or being well received.
