Sep 7, 2012 | 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 posts about gaining the trust of your readers, creating a mobile-optimized blog, and what one author is doing to make her book a success.

From CopyBlogger: 49 Ways to Gain the Trust and Loyalty of Your Audience
“You know what you’re talking about. And your clients, your friends, and your colleagues trust your advice. But online things seem different.”

From ProBlogger: How to Build and Monetize a Mobile-Optimized Blog

From Alison Wells: 5 things I did to make my self-published book brilliant
“Today, though I’m going to talk about what I’ve done so far to make my book Housewife with a Half-Life the best that I can make it.”  Hat tip to Anna DeStefano’s Tips for Writers that pointed me to this post.
