Where do I start?

Do you feel like your writing style needs something more to stand out and be effective, but you're not sure what? Are you a new writer that needs more tools to hone your craft effectively? Or are you an experienced writer looking for ways to improve, get your reader's attention, and sell your writing?

Here is what students in the course had to say. The proof is in the results students get and share in reviews:

"Straight forward - No nonsense"

"Excellent nuts and bolts for anyone interested in crafting a message that connects their audience with the intended meaning. Each section has not only video but slide examples! Thank you for building this course."

What Is Unique About This Course

Tips without habits for execution will not accomplish results. That is why habits and attitudes are of equal importance. This course covers the fundamentals of effective writing style from the ground up, and it covers important habits and attitudes of effective writing.

In just a few days, you can also practice habits and attitudes that will help you get the most out of these tips. You will see lasting success at beating your competition.

Similar courses out there sell for $300, $400, $500, and $1000, and this course uses an academically researched approached based on a pedagogical (teaching) approach called "Bloom's Taxonomy." This course is based on a carefully built system that produces results, and you get greater value for the price of this course with high quality instruction and results.

Also, unlike a book on the topic, this course is personalized and interactive, which produces real results as you follow the exercises and suggestions on a real piece of writing. You also have access to the instructor via Udemy email and questions are always welcome. I love to help. I love questions!

You will learn eight strategies, each with several techniques. Each technique contains a slideshow and a synchronized video lecture that elaborates on each slideshow. Each technique includes the following:

1. The technique in a nutshell.
2. An explanation that elaborates on and clarifies each technique and best practices.
3. Examples to explain the technique in practice.
4. Exercises and/or quizzes at the end of each overall strategy to test your knowledge, reinforce the material, and allow you to put the techniques into practice right away.

By the end of the course you will know how to do the following:
