Your communications with your prospects and clients always have several purposes. Not only do you want to impart some information, but you also want to keep their attention long enough for your message to get across and do it in a way that still retains your own voice.

You can keep these concepts in mind as you write, but careful editing will help ensure that you accomplish all these ideals.

Richard Nordquist, an About.com guide, shares some of the most important things to look for as you edit your business content in his article: Top 10 Editing Tips for Business Writers – The Secret to Writing Effective Emails, Letters, Reports, and Proposals.

His tips include important ideas such as:

• Speaking right to your reader so they know that what you’re saying applies to them
• Cutting out fluff so you can get right to the message of your content in ways that keep your audience from clicking away to something else
• Avoiding losing your readers with outdated words and phrases
• and more!

Editing is always an easier task when you have a process you can follow.

Using these 10 tips as an editing checklist will give you a great process.
