5 Tips For Making Your Writing Style More Compelling

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) Bullet points and subheadings help guide people through your writing. And readers will process the information better when presented in pieces. So, always number steps, strategies or ideas whenever you can. It also captures interest and helps people remember what you have written.

4) Always be clear and concise. Tight, easy-to-read pieces are pleasing on the eye and a delight for readers. Keep your writing interesting. Don’t waste words explaining things multiple times. Overly long and complex pieces are usually confusing. If you need to, break it into two pieces.

5) Do not stray way off from your main point. When you get too many thoughts and ideas going throughout your piece, your reader’s will get confused about the central idea. I recommend building from an outline you have created before starting. What is your objective? What’s your central idea? Then pick three or four sub-points to support it. Be certain that each sub-point is applicable.
