Business Writing Tips

January 20, 2017 by gomarketing

Here are five writing tips that professional writers use.
1. Tackle big writing jobs—and complex, frustrating ones no matter what the size—in small bites. Set a timer for 30 minutes (or 10 to begin with and increase the time as the project progresses) and start writing. Once the timer goes off, stop writing. Set a schedule: take three to five “bites” out of the project the first day and continue from there.
2. The best time to write… is right now! Don’t wait for the perfect time to write; you’ll accomplish very little if you do.
3. Write in a professional yet conversational tone. Use “you” and “we.”
4. Take time out from writing to procrastinate. It’s okay to take breaks while writing, but limit each procrastination to 5-10 minutes and don’t leave your desk. Use a timer, and when it goes off, get back to work!
5. Your first draft doesn’t have to make sense. Just start writing. Get all of your ideas down no matter how jumbled they may look on the screen/page, and clean up the draft later.
