FEATURE: How to Write Like You Talk - 3 Practical Tips

These days, readers expect a conversational style when they read an email, web page, text, blog, social media post - anything online. They're used to commenting on blogs and interacting with pop ups and apps. Conversational writing is also the norm when readers see ads, direct mail, and consumer newsletters.

You'll be most successful at web writing and copywriting when you foster two-way interaction - that is, when you write conversationally - with your reader. You want to write in such a way that she has a discussion with you, whether it's in her head or on the screen.

Here are 3 of my favorite ways to write conversationally. Call them "writing methods" or "writing techniques" or whatever you like ...

Build Your Website Easily (and Save Technical Grief) in SBI

I've used Solo Build It (SBI) as my combo web host/ website builder when I've created large information websites.

I'd much, much, much rather write additional pages and add content to my site than figure out the tech side of things. (Amen, anyone?)

That's why for me, a simple integration - that is, using a web host and a website builder rolled into one - makes sense. SBI does that for me. Read a review here.
