Business & Marketing Writing
- Course ID: COM-3711GE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Course Objectives
Learn how business and marketing objectives affect writing choices.
Study practical writing instruction in grammar, clarity, structure and more.
Understand issues unique to this discipline, such as buzzwords, working with a team, and marketing ethics.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Role of Business and Marketing Writing
The first lesson starts off with a discussion about the purpose of marketing and the goals of writing, and then talks about the unique roles, responsibilities, and challenges of business and marketing writing. You'll learn exactly what business and marketing writers do as you begin exploring this exciting field.
Lesson 2 - The Ins and Outs of Image
Before you can write or recognize successful copy, you'll need to understand your corporate identity: who the company is and what the company offers. In this lesson, you'll delve into all the aspects of corporate image that writers and marketing professionals need to ponder before producing effective projects.
Lesson 3 - Writing Approaches and Strategies
Now that you understand image, what can you do with it? In this lesson, you'll analyze business and marketing goals-and the needs of your audience-to figure out the appropriate writing style for any project.
Lesson 4 - Media
It's a creative field, but certain projects require certain conventions. In this lesson, you'll see how a particular medium or project type can guide your writing style and approach, helping you save time and stay on target.
Lesson 5 - Putting It All Together: Writing Project
This lesson will gather up the information you explored in the previous four lessons and put it all together. It will illustrate how to apply everything you've learned so far as you develop an original writing project from start to finish.
Lesson 6 - Complete and Incomplete Sentences
Do you need to write in complete sentences? What is a complete sentence, anyway? This lesson will give you a brief refresher on sentence construction and then go over some guidelines for using fragments in business writing. You'll also learn to recognize and fix one of the most common errors in modern writing: the comma splice.
Lesson 7 - Word Choices
You can't write without words! In this lesson, you'll learn to make accurate word choices. The lesson will discuss the level of vocabulary appropriate for business writing and show you how to choose words that reinforce a project's theme. It'll also clarify some tricky word pairs and discuss word-choice problems whose usage can undermine the professionalism of your writing.
Lesson 8 - Internal Communication
In this lesson, you'll take a critical look at the inside of a company. First, you'll see how to develop "marketing" projects for audiences within a company. Then you'll explore the roles of the various specialists who contribute to a single marketing piece-bosses, clients, editors, junior writers, artists, and designers. You'll learn how to work with all of them to create smoother relationships and better projects.
Lesson 9 - Banishing the Bureaucracy
For even the most experienced writers, bureaucratic influences can creep in to reduce creativity and impede communication. In this lesson, you'll take a look at buzzwords and jargon, and then explore some ways to achieve maximum power and effectiveness by keeping your writing clear, concise, and active.
Lesson 10 - Editing, Proofreading and Evaluating
In this lesson, you'll explore the final steps. You'll learn to enhance and refine business and marketing projects during the editing and proofreading processes. You'll also learn to evaluate finished pieces and even test their effectiveness in the real world!
Lesson 11 - Putting It All Together: Editing Project
In this lesson, you'll once again be putting it all together, but this time as an editor. You'll apply everything you've learned so far in the course, editing a project from beginning to end.
Lesson 12 - Marketing Ethics
Marketing involves images, and it's easy to lose sight of the truth. In the final lesson of the course, you'll go over some important considerations that marketing professionals need to think about.

Real Estate Law
- Course ID: RLS-3700AE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Course Objectives
Build a strong knowledge base as you discover how legal concepts are put into practice every day.
Learn to identify key words and phrases and define them on the spot.
Learn worded descriptions of real property
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - The Law of Property
If you've ever considered becoming a real estate broker, buying or selling a home, investing in real estate, or getting into real estate law, this is the course for you! In Lesson 1, you'll learn about the key differences between real and personal property, as well as some of the unique characteristics of land. You'll also get an overview of all the varied classifications of real property-you may be surprised by all the possibilities!
Lesson 2 - All About Estates
If you own property, does that mean you can do anything you like with it? In today's lesson, you'll learn about what kinds of titles carry which kinds of rights. There's one type of title you'll want above all others, and you need to know about it long before you ever think about buying any real estate. We'll also look at what happens when two or more people own property together. This can get complicated, so we'll untangle who has the right to do what
Lesson 3 - The Importance of Property Boundaries
Most people don't know anything about property boundaries . . . until they're unpleasantly surprised by someone knocking down their back fence. In this lesson, you'll discover how to read and understand the different types of property descriptions, how to avoid disputes about them, and how to make this inside knowledge work for you
Lesson 4 - Sales and Foreclosures
In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic contract requirements involved in selling property. Don't worry, though-it's not just dry theory! I'll also introduce you to the typical people involved in a sale and walk you through the usual procedures. Then we'll dive into a topic many people regard as a potential gold mine: foreclosures. We'll straighten out some common misconceptions and see just what's involved in bidding on foreclosed property
Lesson 5 - Fixtures, Easements, Licenses, and Liens
When you sell property, what items can you take with you and what must remain? This issue involves the law of fixtures, and most buyers and sellers don't know anything about it. But you will! You'll learn how and why a seller can remove a refrigerator but not the antique doorknobs. We'll also look at the important issue of easements, which give a non-owner the right to use part of someone else's land. Both of these topics are absolutely essential for anyone considering buying or selling real estate
Lesson 6 - What You Need to Know About Contracts
In this lesson, we'll track the negotiations that go on when you buy and sell real estate. You'll learn what a contract actually does, and you'll explore two of the most common real estate contracts: the "listing agreement" and the "offer to purchase and contract of sale." Then we'll follow a sale from the posting of the For Sale sign to the offers, counteroffers, rejections, and finally to the acceptance
Lesson 7 - Landlord-Tenant Law
If you've ever been a tenant or plan to become a landlord, then you should pay particular attention to this lesson. Here we'll examine landlord-tenant law, exploring what rights and obligations each has to the other. You'll see when and how a landlord can evict a tenant and how tenants can protect themselves. And we'll walk step-by-step through the terms of a typical lease
Lesson 8 - The Ins and Outs of Deeds
Anyone who plans on owning real estate must know about deeds. A deed simply transfers ownership rights, but if you've ever tried to read one, you know just how confusing they can be. In this lesson, we'll decipher all the parts of the deed, clarifying what each clause means and how each part impacts your ownership rights. We'll also discuss ways to make sure the owner transfers all of his or her legal rights in the property to you.
Lesson 9 - Demystifying Mortgages
Mortgages can be just as confusing as deeds! So in this lesson, we'll demystify them by discussing what a mortgage is, what "prequalification" and "preapproval" are, and what lenders look for before entering into a mortgage with a borrower (especially credit issues). You'll also see what types of mortgages you can choose from and understand the good and bad points of each.
Lesson 10 - What Happens at the Closing?
Real estate closings often seem overwhelming. So many papers are flying around, and if you're the buyer, you're signing things without really knowing what they are. And then there's the whole issue of closing costs, which can add several thousand dollars to the sale. In this lesson, you'll meet the people involved in a typical closing, see what documents the closing professional needs, learn about the ones a buyer must sign, and what the costs are and where they come from. By the time you finish this lesson, you'll feel much more comfortable with this process!
Lesson 11 - Zoning and Restrictive Covenants
Who creates zoning rules and how? What can a zoning ordinance regulate? How are they enforced? If you need to get around one, can you? These are just some of the questions you'll find answers to in this lesson. We'll also take a look at an area of law most people don't know about-but it can have a huge impact on all types of property owners. That's restrictive covenants. Last, you'll learn what kind of action you can take if your neighbor becomes a big nuisance.
Lesson 12 - Real Estate Professions
In our final lesson, we'll survey the various types of professions tied to real estate. If you're interested in becoming a real estate agent, you'll learn about the process here. We'll also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of real estate investing to help you decide if this is something you'd like to do. And we'll finish up by profiling other careers, such as surveyors, real estate paralegals, appraisers, inspectors, and more

Friday - Lesson 04
Gantt charts, along with work breakdown structure (WBS), earned value performance measurement (EVPM), and the precedence diagram method (PDM), make up the big four of project management. A Gantt chart may be the most popular tool associated with project management because it's an easy to follow timeline chart. In today's lesson, you'll learn about the history of Gantt charts, find out how to create one, and discover their benefits and limitations.
Wednesday - Lesson 05
Network scheduling, along with earned value, represents one of the most technical aspects of project management. If you enjoy working with charts and numbers, this lesson is right up your alley! As with earned value, the precedence diagram method (PDM) includes a fair amount of terminology and a little bit of tricky math. Today you'll learn the basics of networks and see how they relate to project management. You'll discover activity-on-arc (AOA) and activity-on-node (AON) network scheduling methods and understand how to use task dependencies, dummy activities, and float time.
Friday - Lesson 06
In today's lesson, we'll take a break from using calculators and studying elaborate models. You'll learn how resource planning, work flow diagrams, and storyboards can help you create and implement an effective project plan. I'll also show you how to define and implement a project change control system and to how control project costs.
Wednesday - Lesson 07
Today, we'll discuss a few more tools to help you with your projects. We'll begin with cost-volume analysis, a tool to help you optimize choices using costs, volume, and desired profits. We'll move on to Monte Carlo simulation, a sophisticated tool you can use when you deal with completely random conditions. You'll learn how to use force field analysis, a tool that helps you evaluate a decision based on pros and cons, and apply the Pareto principle, a 200-year-old concept that helps you to focus on what's important.
Friday - Lesson 08
I believe that too many people in the project management field place too high of an emphasis on the role of project management software. While it has an important role to play as a tool, software is not a substitute for sound planning, effective implementation and control, and positive leadership. In today's lesson, I'll discuss the nature of project management software and help you identify winning techniques and processes. You'll read two case studies to help you understand issues pertaining to software implementation. You'll learn why some people are reluctant to use project management software, and discover ways to evaluate and select a software supplier.
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Many project managers and team members struggle to improve their projects' output. Despite their best efforts to improve customer satisfaction, project personnel are often unable to make much progress. The best way to succeed is to use statistics and a data-driven approach to characterize and improve your projects. Today, you'll learn about the measures of location (median, mode, and mean), the normal curve, and measures of dispersion (range, mean absolute deviation, variance, and standard deviation). You'll see how the Taguchi loss function is an alternative to traditional go/no-go inspection. You'll also learn how to measure variation, use prevention, and apply statistical process control (SPC) to help you produce predictable and acceptable results.
Friday - Lesson 10
Today, we'll discuss the dimensions of the project team. For your project to succeed, you need a skilled project manager and committed capable project team members. You'll learn how to identify essential competencies of an effective project manager, and how to establish a winning project team. You'll understand what it takes to recruit, evaluate, and select project team members. And you'll also learn about the concepts of a core team, extended team, and the overly important project team.
Wednesday - Lesson 11
I believe a potent combination of a high-functioning project team and a capable project manager is essential for your success in project management. Effective project teams come together through careful planning and action. In today's lesson, we'll discuss work group theory, contrast formal and informal work groups, and identify informal work group characteristics. You'll learn about the stages of team development, understand why change is so important for your project, and find out why people are reluctant to change. You'll learn how to overcome resistance to change and empower your project team.
Friday - Lesson 12
Today, we'll discuss fundamental organizational concepts. You'll discover the purpose of an organization chart and learn why a matrix organization is a common project management organizational structure. You'll understand key coordinating principles such as authority, responsibility, accountability, and power. And you'll gain insights into organizational culture by developing a deeper understanding of values and beliefs, the elements of successful delegation, and various theories of motivation and leadership.

Certificate in Legal and Ethical Issues in Healthcare
- Course ID: SEF-3001JE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Course Objectives
Examine the legal implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and consider the issues that arise from on-the-job situations such as medication errors, organ donation, and workplace violence.
Explore how the rise of social media has impacted the healthcare industry.
Gain a solid grasp of crucial topics in the healthcare industry that are important to anyone working in the medical field.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Legal Issues in Healthcare
Healthcare professionals today are acutely aware of the need to understand the legal environment in which they practice. Ever-shrinking resources, shorter lengths of stay, high-acuity patients, availability of more complex information, diverse patient populations, and the use of technology mean that healthcare professionals must understand the legal risks inherent in their practice.
Lesson 2 - Ethical Foundations in Healthcare
Healthcare professionals face ethical dilemmas every day of their professional lives. Ethical decision-making is an important part of the care they provide to their patients and clients. A sound understanding of key ethical issues helps healthcare providers make appropriate ethical decisions during the course of their care.
Lesson 3 - Contemporary Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare
With the advent of astounding scientific and technological advances in every area of health care, today's healthcare environment is increasingly fraught with complex patient care issues. Healthcare professionals often have varying views on legal and ethical dilemmas that make it difficult to act in ways consistent with their own support for patient autonomy. The variation in individual state approaches to laws and professional standards, as well as specific codes of ethics, makes ethical dilemmas challenging for many healthcare providers and patients and family members.
Lesson 4 - HIPAA and Patient Privacy
Personal health information is protected under federal law. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides for the protection and security of personal health information. Both healthcare professionals and consumers must understand the legal and ethical implications of this law and the effects of violations on the patient and the provider.
Lesson 5 - Medication Errors
Medications promote healing, reduce suffering, and contribute to modern medical miracles. However, because thousands of new drugs have been developed recently, because the healthcare environment is increasingly complex, and because patients are older and often sicker, there is increasing risk for medication errors.
Lesson 6 - Social Media and Healthcare
Social media has many characteristics and has become part of the very fabric of today's society. It can be immediate, irreverent, and incredibly powerful. The use of social media in all areas of life, especially health care, is growing exponentially. Used to effectively communicate and connect with other healthcare professionals, the community, and patients, social media also has tremendous risks when not used professionally. Guidelines to ensure its safe and proper use are essential.
Lesson 7 - Organ and Tissue Donation and Recovery
The gift of organ donation is the gift of life. However, the gap between those who need an organ or tissue donation and the number of donations available is wide and growing. Healthcare providers need to understand the issues surrounding organ and tissue donation and recovery so they can effectively support the needs of donor families and donor recipients.
Lesson 8 - Workplace Violence in Healthcare
Workplace violence is an increasing problem in organizations today and is especially challenging in the healthcare industry. Considered a human rights issue, workplace violence affects the dignity of millions of people worldwide and is a major source of inequality, discrimination, stigmatization, and workplace conflict. The consequences to organizations and employees are staggering and include negative financial, safety, and health-related outcomes.

Fundamentals of Supervision and Management
- Course ID: MLS-3808DE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Course Objectives
Learn how to make a successful transition from employee to manager and you'll learn how to manage your time so that you can deal with the constant demands of a managerial job.
Study the skills required to delegate responsibility and motivate your employees.
Explore how to solve problems and resolve conflicts so you can accomplish your job more effectively.
Outline of Instruction
Lesson 1 - Introduction to Managerial Work
How has management theory evolved over the last 100 years? In this lesson, we'll take a fascinating glimpse back into the days of assembly lines and scientific management. Why did we need managers in the first place? We'll look at the ways organizations are structured and describe managerial jobs in terms of the technical and managerial tasks that are performed.
Lesson 2 - Making the Transition Into Management
It's time to identify the characteristics of a typical supervisor's day and how they handle daily challenges. In this lesson, you will learn how to make the supervisor's path smoother, such as empowerment and communication. How does one begin to think, act, and look like a manager?
Lesson 3 - The Tasks of a Manager
Is leadership distinct from management? Do you have what it takes to be a leader, or are you cut out to be just a manager? In this lesson, we'll look at the evolution of leadership research and begin to discuss the fascinating field of motivation. Believe it or not, a good leader can build motivation right into the design of a job.
Lesson 4 - Managing Tasks, Performance, and Time
In this lesson, you will learn how a supervisor can handle the challenges of delegation, performance management, and time management. Once you understand the challenges of the typical day, you will understand the importance of time management to a supervisor.
Lesson 5 - Introduction to Motivation
It's time to really dig into the topic dear to many managers' hearts-motivation! In this lesson, we'll clarify what managers need to understand about human motivation, and help you to understand the links between motivation and productivity.
Lesson 6 - The Best-Known Researchers in Motivation
Motivational theories are great as long as they truly help you to manage people at work every day. We'll look closely at four theories that pass that test in this lesson: Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory of motivation, the three levels of human need in Alderfer's theory, and the three needs outlined by McClelland.
Lesson 7 - Motivation Theories
Do you believe that people naturally want to do a good job? Or are people lazy by nature and need to be watched? In this lesson, find out if you're a Theory X or a Theory Y-type of manager. There are self-fulfilling prophecies to each of those beliefs.
Lesson 8 - Understanding the Theories of Motivation
This lesson defines two more very practical and influential motivational theories; equity theory and expectancy theory. This lesson wraps up the theoretical about the importance of creating a motivational environment.
Lesson 9 - Introduction to Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving
Now comes the hard part: when real life doesn't work out the way the theories said it should. What happens when conflict arises? This lesson explores conflict and conflict resolution. You will learn about specific techniques of negotiation, a particular type of conflict management.
Lesson 10 - Models of Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving
This less about conflict and problem-solving in work groups? This lesson identifies means of solving conflict between groups. You will also learn a problem-solving model that is useful in work and in life.
Lesson 11 - Working Through Problems
This lesson explores the problem-solving model and talks about the importance of establishing objectives, generating alternatives, and choosing a solution.
Lesson 12 - Implementing Solutions to Problems and Conflicts
Your final lesson concludes the problem-solving model discussion and gives you the tools you need to carry the plan through to completion. You will explore the conflicts that may arise while solving problems and completing action plans.

- Course ID: MKT-3419G2
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Why emphasize direct mail marketing over digital marketing? There's usually less mail in your mailbox than spam in your email inbox, so less postal mail gets more individual attention. People also look forward to getting postal mail. U.S. Postal Service statistics show nearly two-thirds of people say letters and cards improve their connections with the outside world. Around six in 10 consumers place more emotional meaning on a direct mail piece than an email note because direct mail is more personal, more one-to-one.
In an age of digital overload, direct mail has regained prominence as a more powerful, more well-targeted marketing tool. Every day, consumers face bombardments of branded TV ad fatigue, inbox email clutter and online hackers, spammers and identity thieves. Physical direct mail offers tangible, engaging alternatives that get more individual message attention. Direct mail cuts through the digital noise and delivers personalized messages directly into the hands of real people. To improve return on ad-spend (or ROAS), businesses cannot afford to ignore direct mail marketing in their integrated, multichannel marketing.

Direct Marketing Testing
- Course ID: MKT-3419H2
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Direct marketing testing helps improve your marketing by allowing you to discover what works and what doesn't. Businesses have different audience segments and communication messaging. What may work for one company may not work for another. Then again, what may work for one company may also work for another. Testing allows "trying out" various options known as "variables."
Testing helps reduce risks of wasted budget on ineffective strategies. Testing also supports ongoing improvement of direct marketing strategy. Testing is designed based on scientific testing methods to avoid what your "gut" tells you what "might work."
Last, but not least, testing can identify key communication elements that resonate with your customers and prospect customers. Too many marketers overlook the essential ingredient of marketing and direct marketing: testing.
The course consists of lectures and written assignments. Quizzes at the close of each lesson help clarify comprehension of the material.
Course Objectives
Recognize how to define test metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of a product or service before marketing campaigns are fully launched (rolled out)
Be able to structure a testing plan that includes multiple testing variables
Apply testing planning and structure to email, direct mail, geography, copywriting, print media and more
Think like a direct marketer and learn how direct response is structured differently from other communications disciplines.
Outline of Instruction

The acronyms and analytics that define success or failure

Designing Effective Websites
- Course ID: WEB-3000KE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
You examine the tension between form and function, explore the six major states of the website development process and learn the basics of user-centered design. You also look at the five basic steps to organizing information, find out how site design themes can be used for information delivery and review website design considerations. Along the way, you learn about effective type and graphics and explore the idea of making a website fully interactive. This course is a must for web designers, giving the tips and tools that will help them establish a solid career.
Course Objectives
Master the basics of web design and learn to build sites that are better and more effective
Learn graphic design techniques that will help your site stand out from others
Outline of Instruction
Visitors are attracted by good design, but content is what keeps them at the site longer and motivates them to return. Learn how to use two tools to attract and retain visitors: design critiques and a content inventory. Explore the six major development stages that yield expert design and smart content. Then, study the three parts of web design and the skills you need for each.
Designing an interface is easy, but designing an effective one is more challenging. Explore the four main elements you need to consider to make your site user-centric – usability, visualization, functionality and accessibility – to see the thought that goes into effective interface design.
Even if your basic content is accurate, attractive and well-written, your site won't function well without a solid and logical organizational foundation. Review the five basic steps involved in organizing information and four essential structures that you can use to build a website. Then, learn how to create a flowchart for the pages you want to include on your site.
Websites exist to inform, educate, persuade or entertain. Concentrate on site design themes that pay attention to information delivery. Learn how to organize elements to enable visitors to accomplish their own goals. Explore usability, content and design.
Discover how you can use visual and graphic design, page layout and grids to take your designs to the next level. At the same time, become familiar with design considerations like visual hierarchy, page dimensions and white space.
Typography plays a dual role by providing both verbal and visual communication. Almost any font can transmit information to others, but conveying the right mood along with the information takes a special type and color of font. Learn all the secrets here!
Find out how you can use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to modify fonts. Become familiar with inline, document-level and external (linked) style sheets, and learn how to create an external CSS file to control the formatting of any or all pages on your site. More adventurous students can also take a look at some early font embedding techniques and explore two popular Flash-related options.
Before you write for the web, you should take the time to understand how people read online. Become familiar with the use of titles, headlines and subheads to assist readers in navigating your site. Discover the advantages of using a web content management system. Learn how you can communicate more easily and informally with visitors by adding a blog to your site.
You can use images to add interest to your site and to help with navigation. Early designers were limited graphically by HTML attributes, and later designers discovered they could use tables to place images. Today's designers also have the option of using CSS to position images on the screen, but many people still use text-based browsers. Learn how to make the information you convey through your images accessible to those individuals as well.
The combination of HTML, CSS and JavaScript allows you to create intensely interactive web applications similar to any game or presentation built with traditional programming languages. This interaction of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is known as dynamic HTML or DHTML. Become familiar with the basics of DHTML, including code you can use to enhance your designs by adding layers to your pages.
Early websites were created by a few to be read by many. Over the years, developers added interactivity to websites through discussion forums, chat rooms and shopping carts. These features are part of what could be considered Web 1.0. Today, the focus has shifted from the sponsor of the site to the visitor, and sites like Flickr and YouTube are popular. They're examples of Web 2.0 sites. Examine several popular Web 2.0 sites, and take a look ahead to Web 3.0.

Write Effective Web Content
- Course ID: WEB-3000OE
- Overview
- Course Outline
- Requirements
- Intended Audience
- More Details
Course Objectives
Learn how to develop a website writing style that speaks to your readers' needs and ensures that your content is clear and easy to understand
Explore ways your web copywriting can convey the right "feel" through your content and get conversations going with your visitors, as well as how to organize your content to produce better search engine rankings and happier readers
Examine ways to make your online copywriting appear as professional and authoritative as possible
Outline of Instruction
There's web content on just about any topic you can imagine. While the topics and purposes of the content may all be different, the writing strategies you need to know to create effective content are all very similar. Start by identifying the three key areas you need to understand to make your content effective, whether you want to sell, entertain or do something else altogether. Also learn about a free tool you can use to find out what people are actually looking for on the web.
All writing comes from ideas, so learn how to bring focus to your ideas using a free, web-based tool. Examine the inverted-pyramid writing style and see how and why you should bring the focus of your content to the top of the webpage. Look at lots of examples of different types of web content and examine how to focus the content and use the inverted pyramid to get the most important information right up front. Of course, if you want to attract lots of readers, the content also needs to be entertaining. Review some strategies to help you accomplish that.
Organizing web content is easier than you might think, and it starts with an outline. Learn some quick tips for making outlining as simple as A, B, C. Look at how headings can help you organize content and chunk information for your readers. Surfers like to scan content for information, whether they're looking for product guides on your business site or the opposing sides of a debate on your blog, and writing effective headings can not only keep readers on your site but also help them find what they want. Discuss bulleted lists and when and how you should use them to group information for your readers.
To write in easy-to-understand plain language, identify the "fluff" in your writing, or the words and phrases that don't add anything but unnecessary word count. The advantage of keeping writing easy-to-read is that visitors will understand your message the first time they read it, whether you're talking about your business or a favorite subject on your blog. Learn about some free tools that tell you how easy your content is to read and even what grade level it's suited to. Discuss the indexes and scales the tools use to analyze your writing, so you'll know what the results mean.
Do you have products you want to sell? Would you like to know some surefire ways to get more followers for your blog? Are you focused on public awareness for your cause? Discuss the ins and outs of writing content aimed at persuading readers. Find out how to reel in readers using power words and how to keep the search engines on your side with keywords. Discuss the importance of honesty in your writing and how to check for that as you compose your copy,
The modern web is often called the social web, where being connected matters a lot. Because connection and online relationships are so important to readers, this is something you want to pay attention to. Look at ways you can build relationships, whether your readers are customers or followers or just interested in what you have to share. Discuss the importance of the word "you," something salespeople have known for years! Look at how to create content that engages readers in a conversation and the power of positive language.
Blogging is much more than a way to reflect on your day-to-day life. Blogs, whether long or short, are rapidly becoming an integral part of every business' marketing plan. Research shows that web readers trust bloggers more than advertising. In fact, 60% of surfers say they feel more positive about a company after reading blog content on a website. Learn what makes an effective blog and look at the ever-expanding world of short blogging tools.
Driving down any busy city street shows us that we live in a visual world. From neon lights to enormous flashing billboards, we find our attention drawn in dozens of different directions. The same is true on the web. Text just doesn't do it anymore, no matter how well you've written it. Discuss how to find free visuals and multimedia elements on the web and how to effectively use these elements to enhance your content.
Want to add some pizzazz to your web content? Explore different types of multimedia that you can include on your pages, such as screencasts, slideshows and videos, and look at how to create educational content using these media. Tutorials are a terrific way to draw in new visitors, no matter what multimedia format you choose. Learn how to create tutorials for your blog or website, writing scripts, creating storyboards and adding screen captures for illustrations.
Customer service is easy if you use polls, surveys and quizzes effectively with your web content. Plus, these tools can help you develop relationships with your visitors by learning more about them. Even if surfers leave comments on your blog or website, a poll or survey can help you understand more about their thoughts and needs. Not sure how to write a poll, survey or quiz? Learn about services that let you add free quiz activities to your content to give your readers more reasons to visit regularly.
Whether your web content is how you make your living or how you have fun, it's important to know how to protect it from theft. It's also a good idea to make sure you understand what content you can legally reuse on the web. Explore intellectual property laws, specifically copyright and trademark laws, and how they apply to your online content.
Look at three important areas that readers use to place a value on your content. Identify some of the most common writing errors and get tips on how to be sure you've got them right. Finally, you need to add a title to your content, so look at how to write some great ones. Learn the process a reader takes to evaluate your web content, which will help you ensure that yours measures up.
