Get to the Point: Write Clearly, Concisely, and Professionally!
When we email someone for work, or write professionally, we need to get right to the point. This saves our reader time and helps them know what to do (what action to take) in response. Make your writing clear and actionable by avoiding fluff words and get right to the point. To do this, avoid slow introductory statements in your sentences. Avoid "fluff" words that only add wordiness—not meaning. Fluff words exist but don’t contribute to meaning, making your writing unclear and unprofessional. So why are they there? In this video Erin Lebacqz shows us how to avoid slow lead-ins, a bad habit often learned in school to satisfy word count. In business writing and professional writing, readers prefer that writers cut the fluff. Fluff words and slow lead-ins frustrate readers by delaying meaning and make your writing tedious and imprecise. So using Erin's easy tips will help you express your thoughts and provide your readers information in concise, professional and powerful sentences. 👀 - - - - - - - - - - 👀 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Avoid slow lead-ins 01:09 - What the Fluff? 02:04 - Example of slow lead-in 02:40 - Examples of Fluff 03:17 - Common slow lead-ins 04:35 - Put the meaning in front 05:16 - Frontload meaning with Who & What 06:29 - Start on a concise tone Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to get all the latest info on new writing trends and tips! 🔗 - - - - - - - - - - 🔗 LINKS: Use coupon code HighValueWriter to get 20% off ANY of High-Value Writing's on-demand, self-paced eCourses: https://courses.highvaluewriting.com/... 📚 High-Value Writing Books: High-Value Writing Workbook (paperback) – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3JHGFWS High-Value Writing Workbook (eBook) – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3BT5D3K High-Value Writing Book (paperback) – https://www.amazon.com/dp/1667805517 High-Value Writing Book (eBook) – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LZ5QNSW Featured in USA Today! https://www.usatoday.com/story/specia...
