	Writing for the web, Monday, February 15, 2010

	Web writing comes with a purpose. It can be either marketing or propagating ideas. Be it whatever, your aim would be to make the readers read your content. By taking care of a few things, you can make your contents attractive. Keep your words simple and concis The basic characteristic of web writing is its simplicity. Unlike any other media, the web is known for its fast pace and purpose orientation. In web writing, the words are usually meant to sell. So if you want the readers to read the content and achieve the purpose, your words should be simple and easy to understand. Jargons and pompous words would irritate the readers. We know it very well that people are not going to open a dictionary and search the meaning of each flowery word. So keep the words simple and easy to comprehend. Understand your readers As in any other media, a clear understanding of the readers is needed in web writing too. Unless you know your readers, you can't influence them. Your words should be aimed at the readers or potential customers i.e. if you are selling something. Moreover, you cannot just keep on writing about a thing. Your sentences should be properly aimed so that it gives a solution or answer to what the readers are seeking. Utilize the possibilities There are many benefits in web writing than traditional writing methods. Hyperlinks (the links that lead you from one page to other) are the main attractive feature of web writing. Since you can give more information using hyperlinks, you must make proper use of it. But remember not to over crowd hyperlinks in a single page. Make it easy to read While the readers read your content, they must get a clear understanding of the topic. For achieving this, try to incorporate minimum words that would make the reading easy. It would be good if you can separate each topic using sub heads. Illustrations to an extent would be interesting. But never confuse the readers with so many graphics and pictures. Always remember that writing provides more authenticity than illustrations. Last but not the least, your expressions and sentence formation should also be given proper consideration. You don't want to create a negative impression by making spelling or grammatical errors in your content. It would be better to do a thorough spell/ grammar check before submitting your content. And never be rude to your readers or impose any idea on them forcibly. Try influencing not imposing.

	Rewrite and review your content, Wednesday, February 10, 2010

	Writing content is just one part of the many things you need to do when you write copies. I have seen many people don't even read what they have written. Is it because the contents are so bad or just lazy to review what they wrote before posting it in a blog or website. So what happens when you don't read your content before posting them. There are many problems when you don't read your post / review before posting 1. Spelling mistakes: Its common to make spelling mistakes especially if you are a writing fast and if you don’t review your content you might post something that is full of mistakes. 2. I have personally had this problem when I use word it automatically corrects my spelling and sometimes the auto spell checker will correct the words into a different word that I don't want it to be there. This is another problem; I hope you don't want your content to look crazy when one word is substituted by a completely different word that is not supposed to be there. 3. Writing fast is not always the best you will lose your creativity and the content will sound too simple but if you read it again and fix stuff you will be able to include stuff that are much more creative. 4. You can miss punctuations when you write fast if you review then you can rewrite the document with proper punctuations. 5. Some sentences can be longer than you expected if you read your content you might break down content into different parts suitable for the article. 6. Check to see if your content has a proper mood set into it. 7. If you review your content you can narrow down the message you are willing to convey in a shorter way. Remember people don't have 10 hours to read your content. It's important you impress people in fraction of seconds so that they can continue reading and like your content. Labels: creative writing

	Do you need to know the dictionary to write best copies, Monday, December 14, 2009

	Well I am just using slang here. Obviously we don’t need to know the full dictionary to become a great copywriter. But there has been some misconception that the more words you know and the more different types of synonyms you use better copywriter you are. Well I wouldn’t disagree with that more. I feel most of the time people like to read what they speak. When I go through a website and if its using too much advanced words that are not used in standard speaking language I will not waste too much time there. It’s simply because I don’t want to go to a website that has too much complicated words which I need to refer a dictionary to understand. Research has determined the average time a person spends on a new website he visits is just 20 seconds. So you just have 20 seconds of time to keep your visitors to your website. If you are using high words and if the person finds it difficult to understand your copy then you are doomed. You will loose a lot of potential visitors / buyers. So I recommend don’t spend too much time on reading dictionary and identifying new words. If you know some words make sure you use it the best way possible. Make sure you use good grammar. Grammar plays an important role when it comes to quality of a webpage / web copy. Labels: SEO copywriting
