Give your copy a big fat KISSkeep your copy simple

Good copywriting is all about keeping things simple.

Your copy must be easy to read and understand.

That means short sentences and easy to follow English.

Yes, you may have to ditch some of those witty turns of phrase. And ditch the marketing lingo.

But your readers will thank you for it and more importantly your customers are more likely to buy.

How NOT to write a press release

press releaseA press release is a great marketing tool for any business to use.

A well-written press release can bring great results. Publicity for the business, links back to the website, and a higher profile for yourself.

As a freelance copywriter I have written many press releases. Many businesses send them out regularly.

But as with anything there is a right way and a wrong way of doing thinks.

In this blog post I reveal how to avoid your press release passing unnoticed.

10 words that really do my head in a lotwords not to use in your marketing copy

It’s wrong to call this list my top ten. Rather these are the ten words which have no place in anything written by a freelance copywriter. Or anyone else for that matter.

The list includes word you don’t need, words you shouldn’t use and the world’s most overused punctuation.

Avoid all of these to make your copy readable and punchy.

Lost words from old English
