How well a writer gets thoughts down on paper will determine how much the reader gets out of it.

The audience comes away with an impression about a writer’s ability to communicate effectively.

Writing at your best will get more followers on Twitter and your blog!

There are a variety of techniques a writer can use to improve their writing and clarify their message for the reader, just like they’re techniques for getting more likes on your Facebook page.
 

#1.  Write Your Introductory Paragraph First

 
Readers do not like being taken on a wild goose chase when seeking information.  They like organized and easily understood text with a logical format.

Open with a clear introduction letting the reader know what the intention is. Make sure that there is a strong opening with good descriptive words.  When writers wander around their subject too much at the beginning, readers lose interest.
 

#2.  Monitor the Length of Sentences

 
Make sure sentences do not drag on forever.  Use shorter sentences when possible to get points across.

Use longer ones for explanations or definitions of your main points. Make sure commas are in place to break up sentences that require lengthier explanations.

When sentences are too long, readers may find themselves having to reread passages.

Sentences should never convey more than one point at a time. Also monitoring your articles that you write in social media through top wordpress plugins can further enhance the visibility of your article.
 

#3.  Read Other Examples

 
Nothing helps us to better understand how to come across than to read how other authors structure theirs.  If you are going to write a classified ad, read other ads for ideas.  Many new ideas can be infused into your writing by taking the time to study other authors.
 

#4.  Change Sentence Structure

 

Keeping readers interested to the end of a piece can be a challenge.  If the entire article is a string of boring statements or commands, they will quickly scan it and move on.  Make sure there are a variety of questions, statements and commands to keep the reader interested enough to want to finish reading to the end.

If they are actively engaged in thinking about the subject and asking themselves questions, the message has hit its mark.
 

#5.  Edit and Proofread

 

If there is too much talking in the article and the main points are being buried in too many extra words, take them out.  Stick to the point and remove the fluff words. Much can be said with a few simple sentences.  It is not necessary to give a lot of descriptions about things in general unless the subject calls for it.

Many times proofreading just exposes simple little mistakes that you are grateful to have caught by going back over the piece.

Make sure you edit your writing as much as possible since writing can be a powerful source to generate traffic!
 

#6.  Accurate Spelling and Punctuation

 
Nobody wants people to read an article and leave readers with the impression that they are uneducated.

Make sure the message is accurately conveyed through proper spelling and punctuation.  Many office programs offer spell checks and correction settings for writers that make it easy to spell and punctuate correctly.
 

#7. Edit and Proofread Out Loud

 

When you read with your eyes and not your voice, it is easy to miss mistakes.  Professional editors often read books backwards so they will not get involved in the story.  It is easy to pay more attention to sentence structure that way.
 

#8.  Use Strong Nouns and Verbs

 

Using good, strong and clear language clearly illustrate exactly what you intend.  Action words and adjectives are a sure way to accomplish this.

When authors write, they have a clear picture in their heads about what they want to convey.  However, without good nouns and verbs to convey it to the reader, the message can get lost in translation.  Take time to make sure the message is unmistakable.
 

#9.  Use a Dictionary and Thesaurus

 

The whole point of writing is to communicate.  Do not neglect the basic tools of writing.  A good dictionary will provide spelling and usage.

A good thesaurus helps with using different words with the same meaning to eliminate redundancy.  Make sure both are updated frequently.
 

#10.  Read Out Loud to Someone Else

 
Writing alone can sometimes cause authors to miss things.  Often other people can catch things we completely missed.

When we read aloud, we are looking at the words and wanting to pronounce and say things correctly.  It is at this time that many simple mistakes can be discovered.
 
Readers will appreciate every effort made by a writer to simplify the message.  Use the basic tips listed above and always consider your audience when writing.

    Nice tips. Reading out loud (or at least sounding it out in your head) is a great way to fix grammar mistakes. Even if you don’t know all the rules, which a lot of people don’t, you know what sounds right and what doesn’t.

    Although you forgot one very basic tip: Write! The more you write, the better you are. Goes hand in hand with reading.

    Some good tips, I learned to write from James Paul and have officially been out of IM for over a year and finally am having my first 6 figure months. I don’t outsource, I don’t need a ghost riter, I don’t need someone to do my copy and it starts with what you have laid out above!
    It’s certainly not the end of the road, however knowing what to do with your content, who it is for, helps make a huge difference. I recommend James Paul’s classic to everyone and anyone.
    Much respect for writing about, well, writing – it’s unfortunately seen as a “boring” topic, and is not taught anywhere close to as often as it should be.

    Thanks Samuel for describing a ways to improve writing, introductory para plays an important role. When I publish post I proofread it before publishing to avoid grammar errors, also I save it as a draft and I usually check it in preview to check any typos and other errors. I’ll keep in mind your other tips while writing thank a lot for such resourceful post.

    Quite an important message Samuel. Writing is not the easiest task in the world. If you are a fairly active blogger, then being able to master it is of utmost importance.

    I believe proofreading your article before it is published is probably the most important part of the whole process. Not only will it give you a chance to correct spelling and punctuation errors, but flow as well.

    It is so easy to lose the intended flow of an article and get off point. Reading it aloud is a sure fire way of making sure it stays within the outline. I definitely appreciate reading others points of view on this subject, good job!

    Good advice. Also, I would recommend that you know your audience. You need to write your posts based upon the audience that you are targeting. For example, you should not use a college level words when you are trying to communicate to blue collar workers.

    Hi Samual,
    As stated by everyone else, excellent points, especially proof-read, proof-read, and so on. As one moves forward with their online business, do not ignore the older posts that you made. Go back and look at them. A business might want to make changes there as they learn and grow. If anyone starting out is struggling with these concepts, I might suggest Danny Iny at Firepole Marketing. Writing is his passion and he coaches people at a very reasonable rate.
    One other point to make: Every business is possibly in a completely different niche. Most think that they need to read and write just in their niche. I find this not necessarily true. To perfect your craft, you sometimes have to visit other niche sites, just as I am right now. With being a CommentLuv member, Andy Bailey graciously sends us notifications on new posts on the site. That is how I came across your value-packed post. There is no better neighborhood to be in than the CommentLuv Network.

    Very good, Samuel!

    My first drafts are usually just a bunch of ideas that I’ve strung together. Then I structure them into an article until it makes some sense. When I’m satisfied, it goes into a drawer to rest. A couple of days later, what needs to be edited is easier because it’s fully obvious. Even after it’s published, I periodically reread and do some tweaking.

    By the way, I liked #9. Those are kinda lost volumes these days

    Thanks for your well-thought suggestions,

    I think I would add #11: Omit needless words.

    The phrase was stated in E.B. White’s The elements of style from 1918. I find that advise extremely useful on the web today. Personally, I prefer a short and to-the-point article over a longer.

    As a writer I find that writing short and precise articles are actually a lot harder than longer ones.

      Excellent point Mark,

      Sometimes the writer is at risk of letting his or her enthusiasm catch them out. They write a great post and then are super keen to get it out there.

      Having someone else take a look is massively important. Failing that leave the post until the next day and re-read it. It can be surprising just how many little errors are in there!

    Hey Samuel,

    Nice work :) Plenty of good, valid points that you covered here.

    For me it starts at the very beginning. A good, clear introduction is necessary. This helps to set the scene and confirm to the reader that they are in the right place.

    Too many writers struggle in this vital area. Its almost as if they are scared to get down to the nitty gritty?

    In conjunction with this it is massively important that your title bears more than a passing resemblance to the content. Again, plenty of bloggers come up with “mega titles” that their content is clearly not connected to!

    Additionally, as other commenters have already said; adding a smattering of humour can work wonders. Accepting that this can be a little tricky, depending on what you are writing about!

    Thanks for sharing,

    It might sound Funny but i never had the idea about “Thesaurus”, actually i didn’t paid attention what is actually means. I do write poems and short messages collection and face encounters rhythm problems because of lack of required word limit.
    By the way, Thanks for the complete and comprehensive list on improving one’s writing capability.

    What about persistence in practice ?.
    I guess most of the fellows do follow the above rules but what they (even me) fails to follow is continuous effort and practice.
    As you have stated, the points are must and unavoidable if one is really want to be a good or say great writer but do keep in mind, writing is an art, the more you give time on it better the output it..!!

    I used to hate writing articles. Now I don’t mind writing them. All it takes is repetition. What I used to do when I first started out was to read an article and rewrite it from the knowledge I’ve learned from that article.

    Also it’s good that you’ve mentioned proofreading. Whenever I finish writing an article, I find TONS of little mistakes

    Many bloggers would be well-served to just follow point #1! They lose me with their rambling (sometimes keyword-stuffed) introductions. Brevity is the soul of blogging!

    #10 is SO important!! I do 1-9 consistently, but don’t always remember to do #10…when I do, I come across things that I never catch in proofreading (like tone, or words/phrases I want to stress, etc.). The posts I read aloud are SO much better for it!

    Great tips – especially the one about reading it out loud. I don’t read my stuff out loud to someone else but I do usually get my husband to read my drafts to get his opinion and check for mistakes – he almost always finds something I’ve missed, no matter how many times I’ve checked it!

    I’d add that editing and proofreading are often better done on hard copy, rather than on screen.

    I think another good guide is to ask yourself “would I want to read this?” – if you’re bored to tears when you read your draft, that could be a sign that it needs a bit of attention ;)

    Love this post, no wonder it got so many comments :) I’d add another tip #11. Don’t overdo it. Many people never publish a post or publish it after days and days of doing and redoing.

    Sometimes is better to just shut up and ship it. You can fix it later on – in fact I highly recommend checking and revising your posts from time to time to make sure they are still current and free of mistakes. This is how you build a trusty blog.
