Darius Foroux – Effective Writing

Effective writing is the key skill for getting what you want in life

We live in a digital world, and we primarily communicate in the written word: Emails, job applications, business proposals, social media posts, presentations, sales pages like this one, you name it.

After writing over 400 articles, building several businesses, reaching millions of readers, and talking to thousands of professionals and entrepreneurs; I’ve learned something.

We’re all writers now.

And yet, we do everything to not write. For years, I also thought I could get by without learning how to write effectively. But I realized that if I wanted to build a career, I couldn’t go around learning how to write in a way that resonates with readers.

Whenever I see people struggling with their careers, I’m reminded of a quote from the late William Zinsser, a former journalist of the New York Herald Tribune, and a professor at Yale and Columbia University:

“People are prevented from doing useful work because they never learned to express themselves. Contrary to general belief, writing isn’t something that only “writers” do; writing is a basic skill for getting through life.”

He’s right. We don’t fail in our careers because of a lack of effort, motivation, or grit—we fail because our words aren’t getting us the results we want.

Without knowing how to write effectively, we don’t know how to communicate, and therefore can’t get what we want. On top of that, good writing is a sign of credibility. When your writing is bad, you make it harder for people to take you seriously.

Introducing Effective Writing

Why isn’t everyone focusing on writing? Because we think writing is about perfect grammar or other things that don’t matter. You might write a grammatically sound sentence that completely misses the mark.

When you learn how to write effectively, you’ve hit gold. This is a skill that provides you value for the rest of your life. You can grow your career, and make an impact on other people’s lives.

Effective Writing gives you a failsafe system that shows you how to write in the following ways:

• Clear: Think and write clearly so people will always understand you. Gone are the days when people have to ask, “What is this person trying to say?” Make people immediately understand what you really mean.
• Credible: Be seen as an authority. You’re only effective as a writer if the reader believes you. But you can’t make the reader believe you. Your reader only believes you if your writing shows credibility without going overboard, and without forcing anything.
• Persuasive: Get what you want with words. If you can write persuasively, you can get people to act, based on what you write.

What You’ll Learn In Effective Writing

Part 1: The 9 Rules of Effective Writing

The foundation of the Effective Writing system is based on 9 simple rules. This is what makes it a failsafe system.

Most people have trouble writing because they’re unsure about many things. But if you have these simple, straightforward rules to guide your writing, then everything becomes easier and less complicated.
