10 Tips to Improve your Business Writing Skills

Tip#1: Know your audience

Before rolling up your sleeves and start writing it is imperative to know your readers first. Are they resonating with your subject? Will they stick to your message that you are trying to convey. Knowing your readers makes it very much easy to write in a better way aimed at the targeted message.

Tip#2: Know your objective

Also before starting to writing know your objective. What you are trying to achieve. What’s the main purpose of your writing? Are you trying to persuade or giving out information to educate your intended readers. Be very much clear about your ultimate goal that you are all set to achieve. The more you clear the more it will be easy to craft your message.

Tip#3: Write with clarity

Write clearly but to the point so that the readers an easily understands it and easily make a sense of it. Use short sentences and short paragraphs rather than long sentences and long paragraphs which make the user to stop reading.

Tip#4: Avoid Jargon

Always try to avoid jargon which does not make any sense at all to convey what you’re saying to your readers.  Keep it simple and in plain language so that each word you say can be easily understood and digested.

Tip#5: Be Concise

Be concise and to the point.  Try to use simple words and phrases. Write less but it should convey the right message which you are trying to convey to your readers.

Tip#6: Be Professional

Be professional when writing rather than to be formal. Formal language is just fine for the office documentation but in business you have to focus on the professional language because you are all set to convey a message to your readers which can be an information or it can be a product to buy out.

 Tip#7: Break it up

Break it up longer paragraphs and sentences into short ones. Use proper sub-headings and bulleted points to make it even easier for the readers to skim through the content easily.

Tip#8: Use Compelling Language

Always try to use a compelling language in order to persuade the readers on certain action to take. Try to use the important point at the end of the sentence which will leave a deep impact on the reader’s mind.

Tip#9: Use Active Voice

Use an active voice when writing rather than passive voice because in active voice sentence are short but clearer than passive voice. An active voice builds trust in readers mind.

Tip#10: Proofread Twice

Write once but proofread twice to remove any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors. The best practice is to read it aloud to spot any errors in the document. You can also get someone to proofread it for any potential errors.
