Simple Edits That Will Improve Your Writing

We all struggle to make our content engaging and compelling. It doesn’t matter if you are writing for your blog, your website or just a landing page, you want your readers engaged and reading everything you write.

Here are 3 tips that will make your readers read on.

Open with a question that gets the reader to say ‘yes’
The idea is that the more you get your readers to say ‘yes’ to your questions, the more likely they will keep reading and say ‘yes’ to everything you say.

Why? Because your readers will feel like you understand them and know exactly what they are going through.

If they say ‘yes’ enough they will feel like your product or service can help them solve their problem. And they will hire you.

Use white space
White space can draw attention to something that you feel is important. Don’t crowd your webpage or blog with words. Use white space to your advantage.

Having space for the reader’s eye to rest makes your content less intimidating and more readable.

Use a Call-to-Action
Before you publish your article or web page, be sure to include a call-to-action. A call-to-action tells your reader what to do next.

Be clear and concise, urgent and compelling. Make sure it communicates the value they will receive by doing what you ask.
