I think the point of reading your work out loud is a vital part of perceiving how others read your work. Also people forget the needs of customers and how they want to know more than just how great a company you are. Facts and figures I always think are vital ingredients of any content, as as they are true. I think this is a wonderful post.

Always great to hear from you. And to your comment, yes, it is difficult to take yourself or your company out of the picture, especially for those who are natural salespeople or self-promoters. It's a learned thing I'm finding. ;) Thanks for the comment Kim! Always great to hear from you.

Its really hard to read anything when you see that are they are going at it with the ME attitude. As someone who has to write for the own website I understand its really hard at times not to take that attitude but I also know that I can't get customers if I did. Wonderful post! Has got me thinking about ways to improve some of my own work. SEO is never done but at least we now have someone helping us along.. Thanks Jon!

I love that! thanks so much for reading the blog... I'm glad you are getting something out of it.

Personally, as an introvert, an introvert in sales for 30 years, I find it natural to be other focused. I'm curious, I ask questions, I think most introverts do. And the curiosity is natural. The one question you asked that has me thinking now, "How can you give them more than they expected?" But as usual, I'll likely go ask people, the people who I attract to my work.

I love the way you lead in with Thomas Jefferson and relate it to online writing. Why shouldn't we aspire to write well even if it's a declaration of a new product or service and not a Declaration of Independence! I'm a new fan of yours so I'm now going to go buy your book, Content Rich. How's that for a Declaration! Well written, John.
