| Writing Tips for You
This is more geared toward writing
for an online business and sales
than it is for fiction writing.
However, there are general writing tips
on this page.
Writing is an art, there is no doubt
about it. Writing to people who
come to your sales page should be
natural and should let your
personality show. Writing
in technical language will bore your
readers to clicking to somewhere
else. You don't want that, do
you?
Talk to them. They want to
hear what you have to say, but not
in college terms. Just normal
language.
Go ahead and dare to use words like
Hey, how are ya?
However, you must use discretion.
If you are not a Hey, how
are ya, person... then don't
use it. Use yourself.
People want to be pulled into your
conversation, even though
technically they can't answer back,
they can still feel part of your
conversation.
Use benefits in your writing. When
you are selling something, you
are sharing things you enjoy. Right?
Well, share.
Hey, I saw a great movie last week,
have you seen it?
If you like movies that just stir
your soul, and give you a feeling
of satisfaction at the end.... watch
Shawshank Redemption.
Did I sell? Well, it depends on if
you like that kind of movie, or
not. I couldn't stop watching it
the first time I saw it. It was long,
and it moved slow... yet, I couldn't
stop watching it.
I'm normally The Fugitive
kind of person or The Client. Basically, movies that have
a lot of action and characters that you just
want to see win.
I love Dove soap, it's so soft and
smooth and smells good.
Did I make any money? ... NO ...
Did I share? ... YES ...
That is all you are doing when you
tell someone about a product.
So, when you believe in your product,
for goodness sake tell about
it in your own words and share it
with the exuberance that you
feel it takes to convey to another
person that they just gotta
have it!
Keep your paragraphs short. On the
average, most people do not want to read long text.
Do tell about your product, and at
the end, summarize with the
benefits that will add power to
what you have said.
Use words like: You, your,
powerful, astounding, useful, savings,
bargain.
When you are writing, check and double
check your spelling and
grammar.
Here are some very common grammar
mistakes.

They're over there. It's their 10th
anniversary.
its, it's
The jar is not mine, It's his. The
jar is over there with its lid.

She has lain on the couch for six
