No, you don't have to write like a Pulitzer Prize winner, but you DO need to learn the basics of writing for the internet.

You don't have to learn to write to please an English teacher ... but you DO have to learn to use words and phrases that get your site visitor's attention.

It's not rocket science, and it's not even that hard. You can use the spell-checker and grammar-checker in your word-processing program to correct the common errors many people make. What you really need to learn is not the mechanics of writing, but how to write effectively and persuasively. You need to learn how to write in a style that moves people to action.

You need to learn about words that arouse people, that reassure them, that call them to action, that all but force them to do what you want.

You need to learn to think like your site visitor, like your potential customer, and then calm their fears and stir their desires. Sound a little bit like seduction? Well ... it is!

Writing for the internet is not the same as writing for print. You can break a lot of the traditional rules and still write great copy for the internet. But you have to learn what works.
