HOW TO EDIT YOUR TEXTS AS YOU WRITE

Increase your ezine subscribers by submitting texts once or twice a week to the opt-in ezines. Read by thousands, even hundreds of thousands, you get 10—25 new subscribers for each submission. Your texts also bring people to your Web site to buy your products. Use this checklist to edit your own work.

Knowing these benefits, you want to create and submit as many excellent texts as you can. At times, you have the texts complete, but don’t have anyone handy to edit them.

While it’s best to get at least two other edits from business associates, you can edit your texts yourself with a little help.

Use this checklist to edit your own work:

1. Start your introduction with a question or startling fact. You must hook your readers with something that reaches their emotions.

2. Make your introduction only a few sentences. Your readers want to get to the heart of your text fast.

They want easy-to- read quick tips. Long stories can bring a yawn to your reader.

3. At the end of your introduction, include your text’s thesis to stay on track and make your text clear and compelling. For instance, «use this checklist to edit your own work.»

4. Make all of your sentences short. Since standard sentence length is 15—17 words, make most of your sentences under that number. Complex sentences and multiple phrases make the reading tougher.
