Are you in the minority?

If you’re looking for a job, being able to write makes you part of a special minority.

— Seth Godin

There are many minorities. In business, one of the worst to be in is the group of people who can’t write.

The good part is that if you are in this minority you have a huge advantage over the others.

If you can’t write…learn how starting today.

If you can write…take advantage of it. People will notice.

Here are six tips that will help you improve your writing.

1. Spelling counts for emails, memos, tweets, everything!
2. Before you send it read it over again.
3. Be brief. Other will appreciate it.
4. Avoid using lines like “I’m going to tell you….” Just say it.
5. Keep away from jargon so everybody knows what you are talking about.
6. Before you send it read it over again. [I know, it’s important enough to repeat!]
