Copyblogger’s 5-Point Blueprint for Content Editing

Your content plays a very important role in attracting new visitors to your websites. Well-crafted content is of the utmost importance when it comes to persuading people to take an action online.

Copyblogger’s Stefanie Flaxman has shared a five-point blueprint to help you edit and create great content.

She says, “To help you aim for “this week’s version of perfect,” here’s a five-point blueprint of items to double-check after you’ve finished your standard editing and proofreading process.

Then you’ll know it’s time to let your writing go.

Check #1: Paragraphs

When you’re done editing and proofreading, you’re extremely familiar with your writing on a micro level.

It’s almost like you’ve had blinders on.

Before you publish, look at your content one more time on a macro level to see it from a big-picture perspective.

Start with your paragraphs:

• Have you made them short and reader-friendly?
• Are they in the best order?
• Do your points flow together in a persuasive way?

These last-minute optimizations will boost your confidence about publishing”.
