[...] Web content writing takes a certain type of writer, someone who can convey solid information, while also upholding a friendly, informal tone. Recent college graduates (read: potential social media interns) are excellent at this form of writing, and tend to be much more readable online than older generations. If you can’t handle the time involved in generating new blog content, or just can’t seem to convey the right message yourself, a properly vetted intern could certainly do the job for you. [...]

It’s an innovative notion to consult these texts not to learn about writing but to learn about audience, marketing, and what constitutes valuable content.

Motivating, too.

I’m an English teacher.

I meet people all the time who tell me how they loved to write until such-and-such English teacher criticized them and so they lost their drive.

Thanks for making the distinction between correct mechanics and effective writing!

@ Elizabeth – Made to Stick was fantastic for me – totally all about creativity, thinking outside the box (and within it) and grasping the right idea. Loved it.

@ Melinda – Influence is a fun read too, and the good thing is, you’ll be able to recognize what your family is doing, haha!

@ Dot – They’re fun reads, trust me. I hate boring books. And also, most of them aren’t really ‘marketing’ per se, but about how people think. I know you enjoy that, and I know you’d like them.

@ Patsi – Why We Buy was a hoot. Every time I go in a store now, I mentally measure their ‘landing pads’ and where they put the baskets!

Not enough time to write and comment, now I have to read as well? Grumble, grumble. These sound like good, but scary, recoomendations. Scary because I’ve always been allergic to marketing. Scary because I’m afraid of what I’ll learn about the mind of the typical consumer. I’m with Barbara Ling on the crazy yellow-and-red font-switching consumer sell thing. However, if and when I ever get to retirement (four years away if the economy recovers in time), I’ll need ways to fill the great expanses of time and can read all these fine books and more.

Website content breaks the grammar rules all the time. Youâ€™ll find fragments and impact words hanging out there in the air – and they work.

If I didnâ€™t know better Iâ€™d say you were in my kitchen last night during a conversation I had with my fiancÃ©e! It went something like: I donâ€™t know if my writing is good enough for what I want to do but I donâ€™t know how to learn more or get feedbackâ€¦I wonder what Harry and James have to say on that matter.
