Clarity is extremely important whether one is writing a blog, sales page or brochure. It is important to create a conversation between you and your audience. The difference between holding a conversation and writing is that during a conversation, the other person is allowed time to understand and process what has been said. This is facilitated by pausing between sentences, repetition, and spacing out ideas.

7 Copywriting Tips
1. Use Short, Simple Sentences.
It's crucial to ensure the reader doesn't have to work too hard to understand the concept.
2. Remember wo short sentences are easier to read than one long sentence.
In direct marketing, it's okay to break the rules of grammar when necessary.
3. Be Personal and use the word "you."
One has to remember that they are writing to one reader, someone who is a current customer or prospect, so they should talk specifically to that reader and avoid words such as "the client" or "the customer." It's important to let the prospect know that they are being spoken to directly. by incorporating a friendly conversational tone. Readers always come first, so one should start writing to people, not at them.
4. Talk about people
Studies show that people enjoy reading when they are reading about other people more than anything else. Sentences can be written so that the logical subject is a person. Therefore,one should use pronouns such as, "theirs," "yours," and "you" and human-interest words like "woman," "man," or "child." One should always remember to keep it personal.
5. Use active verbs.
These words make sentences "move," so one should use them whenever possible.
6. Punctuation makes reading easier.
Punctuation gets pauses down on paper and stresses important points. One should use hyphens, dashes and ellipses to achieve this effect. It is important that content is easy to read.
7. Give prospects helpful advice.
People do not buy products; they buy what the products do for them.
