It’s that simple.
Words
matter.
Judging by the quality of much of the web content out there, this statement is not as obvious as you might think. In an online environment where anyone can write an article, publish a blog and write an ebook, we seem to have forgotten one inescapable truth.
The words? They matter.
Would a rose by the name of trash can smell as sweet? Would a CEO with typos in her email look as smart? Would an article with grammar, spelling and punctuation errors get wide distribution?
Nope.
Hope.
There are still people out here using words that matter. If you have something to say, be clear and concise and say what’s on your mind.
Put it out there. Be bold. Be fearless. Be wrong if you must. Nobody ever died from a typo.
Use your words. Express yourself. And if you really can’t, won’t or just plain don’t have the time…hire someone who can, will and does.
Because words….matter. A lot.
In this hectic world that everyone is living in, it seems that the written word is losing its status. Now it seems to be acceptable to put words down as though you are texting. Articles I’ve read urge marketers to just get their articles out there, even though the articles may not be polished and may have spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors.
It’s very refreshing to see that someone does still care and believes that words do indeed matter.
Thanks for the comment…what you say is so true! People get a lot of bad advice about just “throwing words at the screen.”
What these folks overlook is the power of articles to position yourself as an expert in your field, and develop your personal and professional brand. If that matters…the words matter!
hey this is a very interesting article!
