How
to Make Your Writing Easier, Faster and Better.
Robert
Middleton interviews Daphne Gray-Grant
Writing
is the master skill of marketing. How can it be
faster and easier?
If
you want to attract more clients, you need to
market your services. And if you're going to
market your services you need to know how to write.
But
for most Independent Professionals, writing is a
struggle, something to avoid, and something you
never feel you do as well as you could.
But
it doesn't need to be like that.
Writing
can be a process that you not only do well but
faster and easier. All you need is to
understand the underlying principles of successful
writing and a few little-known strategies and
techniques. It doesn't need to be so hard, so
time-consuming, so frustrating.
If
you think you're a bad writer or if it's difficult
for you, you're not alone. This is one of the
top three most important and yet, most avoided
marketing activities. The others are speaking and
networking.
But
writing is the skill that can give you the most
leverage.
I've
often said that "writing is like pumping iron for
marketing." That is, the more you write, the
more you build your marketing muscles. All
successful marketers of professional services have
worked at developing their writing skills and write
frequently.
Once
writing comes easy to you, you can develop
materials, web pages, articles, letters,
emails, email newsletters, scripts, speeches, even
e-books and books. And writing is the way you can
offer true value to the world. Writing is the
process of getting all those ideas out of your head
and into the heads of others.
This
Expert Interview is with Daphne Gray-Grant, "The
Publication Coach." Daphne started her career
in the newspaper business but discovered after she
left the business (much to her surprise) that she
really wasn't a very good writer. So she put all
her attention on energy into how to write better
and faster. She studied every book on writing that
she could find and distilled her findings down to a
powerful 8 1/2 step system. Soon she was
successfully coaching others in being better
writers.
