Aug 16, 2013 | Better Writing

You’re a businessperson. You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Naturally, you want to do better. Here are some recent blog posts and articles that might help.

This week I’m pointing you to pieces on blogging like Hemingway and writing in-depth articles. There’s also a book launch tip from Becky Robinson.

From Victoria Elizabeth: Blog like Hemingway: 5 Writing Tips to Improve Your Blog
“If Ernest Hemingway were around today, he would have made an excellent blogger. From online news sites to individual industry experts and straightforward enthusiasts, people are using blogs as a way to attract consumers to their goods, services and information. With all the blogs out there on the internet, it can be difficult to weed out the good from the bad.”

From CopyBlogger: How to Write the In-Depth Articles that Google Loves
“Hey marketer, are you a lover of long-form content? In-depth reporting? Then you’ll love this statistic: Ten percent. That’s the percentage, according to a recent Google study called Daily Information Needs, of people who might want detailed, long-form information from search.”

Becky Robinson is my go-to friend and expert for launching business books. Every week, she publishes a book launch tip on her blog. This week’s tip is “Prepare for the Sequel.”
