3 Steps to More Persuasive Writing
Anytime you write, you're trying to persuade your readers to do or feel what you want them to. To be persuasive, you have to believe in what you're saying. And you have to believe in your ability to communicate it.
Consider: When you're talking with people face to face you can tell right away if they are nervous or uncomfortable. Their eyes won't meet yours, they talk too little or too much, their voices might be shaky, etc. And their discomfort makes you trust them less.
