Writing: Spare Us the Crypto-Babble

As I was browsing a post on BoingBoing this morning, I came across a comment that is quoted in part below:

snc y ddn’t sy y hld jb n fd srvc .. tht’s n. blh blh. S y hvn’t bn stffd. nd y hv n cncpt f hw tht wrks.

HELLO!!!???

An occassional BTW or LOL can be forgiven, but in a word - make that 3 words - it’s absolutely flippin’ ridiculous to waste readers’ time with such crypto-babble.

OK, I admit that after scrolling by it once or twice, I was intrigued enough to read the comment to discover if there actually was some worthwhile message hidden in between the consonants — which unfortunately there was not.

I know… it’s my own fault for taking the bait. :-)

Internet Marketing Lesson in a Hat

My new hatTo celebrate my birthday (December 11th), Ed and I took a quick trip down to Leavenworth, Washington.

When we arrived, the streets were jam-packed with tourists and locals there for the Christmas Lighting Festival being held later in the day. As it was darned cold and somewhat windy, we took frequent advantage of what Ed called the ‘people warmers‘ which were placed at strategic intervals along Main Street. Whenever we stopped at one, we engaged in polite chat with others who were also crowding around the heaters.

However, despite the warmth, my ears were at risk of freezing and falling off, because I’d forgotten my hat at home. So, it was off to “The Hat Shop”, where I picked up the little red gem shown in the picture above left. :-)

Well, so much for ‘polite chat’!

All of a sudden, we were talking with almost everyone we passed. Little kids stared and pointed; while adults smiled, laughed and called out ‘love the hat!’ and ‘where’d you get it?’. Of course, there was immediate bonding with the many others who were also wearing weird and wonderful hats.

Just as my hat set me apart from the crowd and made others more inclined to stop and talk, you need to do the same with your Internet business and website.

In other words, your site has to be unique, or as I like to call it, YOU-nique. And the best (and easiest) way to do that is just to be yourself.

For example, any reader who has read one or more of my articles or posts here at NPT will ‘get’ who I am and what I’m about because of my writing style. And that style is all me because I write just like I talk — straight-up and direct. One of the nicest compliments I ever received was from a regular NPT reader whom I met at a conference. He said ‘even if I hadn’t seen you, I would have known it was you, just by listening to you talk!‘ Awesome… that’s exactly what you want to hear!

So, if you spend time agonizing about how to write everything ‘just perfectly’… relax. Speak it. Tell it to a friend. Then write it down just as you would say it. By doing that exercise, you will come through in your writing, and your readers will connect with the real you which is the person they really want to know.

If you want to speak and write at the same time, check out Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I’m on my third edition of the software, and the latest version (9) is a vast improvement over earlier editions. Although you still have to ‘train’ the software to recognize to your voice and it’s nuances, much less training is involved with version 9. I bought it originally when I was having trouble typing because of the pain in my wrists (brought on by too much typing), but kept using even after they got better.

My question to you is… how much time does it take you to write your average blog post or article. Do you find it fun & easy or more like pulling teeth — and why?

How Readable Is Your Writing?

Is your Web copy easy to read and understand?

If sales conversions on your affiliate sites are low or few visitors respond to your requests, the problem may be that your message lacks clarity or simplicity.

To check your articles for reading ease and “grade level”, I recommend using a tool that incorporates the Flesch-Kincaid readability test. Read more

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch…

In an earlier post about article writing, at the end I wrote:

“The Finer Points - Grammar and spelling do count. Mispelled words and terrible grammar make readers pause and question an author’s credibility. When in doubt, use a spellchecker.”

Well, apparently, that is not the case.

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Hmm… looks like there’s hope for us yet! :-)

Cheers,
