Crafting reader-friendly articles for the Internet

Writing for the Internet is different from writing for magazines. Studies show that Internet readers scan pages quickly, looking for digestible bites of information.

Craft Reader-Friendly Articles

• Come quickly to the point in an introductory paragraph
• Use subheadings
• Use bullets points such as you see here
• Break your article into digestible sections
• Conclude with an ending paragraph that sums up your article’s thrust.

Nix Wordiness

Avoid wordy paragraphs as they may be simply too much for the average Internet surfer to absorb. Think how you can offer usable information as concisely as possible.

Articles That Deliver the Goods

When you are looking for information, are you drawn to lengthy overly-detailed books or quick pages that deliver the goods in record time?

Our world just gets busier and busier. Online writers who recognize this craft reader-friendly articles that are easy to read and deliver specific information quickly.
