Writing Tip
When writing anything, there are
questions you need to ask
yourself beforehand:
If you cannot answer all of these
questions, you probably need a
copywriter.
When writing anything, there are
questions you need to ask
yourself beforehand:
- Do I have the expertise to
write something profound
or provocative?
- What is my purpose in
writing on this subject
NOW?
- Who is my audience?
- What will it take to bring
them to my way of
thinking?
- What is the appropriate
tone to take?
- How much about this do
they already know so I
don't repeat unnecessary
information?
- What rhetorical tools will
be most effective in
convincing them?
If you cannot answer all of these
questions, you probably need a
copywriter.
