When writing for email newsletters, blogs and contents for your site, you
want to write like you are talking directly to someone. You want to use slightly
different rules then what you learned in school. You aren't writing a book or
essay, you are writing directly to someone, like you are having a conversation
with that person. You want to write with clarity. Write simple sentences that
are easy to understand. You want to write at a 5th grade level. By using a tool
like Flesch Reading Scale you can analyze the grade level that you are writing
at. When your customers open your newsletter or read your blog they are
looking for easy, simple and enjoyable reading.
