8 Writing Tips by Copyblogger.com

[Ceres]

When you write your next blog post, you might want to consider these 8 writing tips by Copyblogger.com.

Two particular tips that I found useful:

6. Be specific. Don?t write ?Many doctors recommend Brand X.? Write ?97% of doctors recommend Brand X.? Don?t write ?The Big Widget is offered in many colors.? Write ?The Big Widget comes in red, green, blue, and white.? Get to the point. Say what you mean. Use specific nouns.

7. Write in a conversational style. There is a road sign often posted near construction sites that always irritates me. It reads, ?Maintain present lane.? Why so formal? A more conversational style would be better: ?Stay in your lane? or ?Do not change lanes.? If you write as if you?re wearing a top hat and spats, you distance yourself from the reader and muddle the message.

Does anyone else having any writing tips they'd like to share?

Don't get horribly descriptive. State the facts but don't go overboard. No one wants to read constant adjectives.
