Only a small improvement can effect your blog posts, emails, articles, web copy, and just about every other aspect of your business and life in a major way.
It’s somewhat true when you think back to that old advice that, “practice makes perfect.” But it’s not 100% true. We need specific advice. And most of us don’t have the time these days to sit around and write and write for hours on end, waiting for a small improvement to show up. We are looking for some quicker results. We are looking for tips we can use today.
So, I am going to share with you a few of my favorite tips and quicker ways you can improve your writing style. You can definitely put these to use immediately, without having to spend months on end “practicing.”
5 Tips For More Compelling Writing
1) Always include a photograph or illustration, if it is possible. The saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” is amazingly true. It seems like a silly way to start a list on 5 writing tips, but this is very true. Pictures grab people. They are powerful and get attention. Pictures draw people to your writing and they help keep people glued to your page. If for some reason you cannot include a photo, paint a picture with your words. Entertain your reader’s senses with your descriptions.
2) Always write short sentences and paragraphs. Doing this makes it smoother for people to read through your work. Do not string out words into ongoing sentences and chunky paragraphs. Keep it clean, punchy and sharp. When it’s fresh and to the point, it makes it much more enjoyable to read. This allows people to follow along and understand your message. And that is one of your main purposes.
3) Numbered points and subheadings guide people easily through your piece. And readers tend to process any information when it is presented to them in smaller chunks. It’s a good idea to take advantage of this with bullet points, strategies or ideas whenever possible. Capturing a reader and helping them remember what you have written will be one of the results.
4) Write in an easy to understand format and be to the point. Tight, concise pieces are understood and are more visually pleasing too. Your readers will be delighted as they flow along. Make it your goal to stay interesting. Don’t waste extra wording trying to explain things in a variety of ways. When the content gets too lengthy, your piece tends to get confusing. If you have a lot of information to share, you can always split it into two or more parts.
5) Never wander far away from your central point. Getting too many ideas and thoughts splashed through your piece will confuse readers about the main idea. It’s a good idea to build an outline before starting. What’s your main objective? Then choose about three or four subpoints that support it. Make sure each point is relevant to your piece.
These are five quick and uncomplicated tips, but be sure not to look down on their importance. They are extremely powerful when applied and you will get big results by using them. On top of that, they are tips you can use now. You are definitely on the path to becoming a more effective writer.
