  • Give practical takeaways. When the reader is done, what did they walk away with? Make this stand out in the text.
  • Format your work. Grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
    • Use exclamation points sparingly and try to keep stories short and to the point.
    • Break up text into short paragraphs.
    • Use bullet points and numbering.
  • Be creative. This is so important! We’ve all read 10 different articles on “bench press tips” so make your content fresh and unique. Think about titles and subjects that grab your attention. Ask yourself, if you randomly came across this article on M&S would you read it?
  • Be intriguing. Keep the audience engaged and incorporate some of your personality. If someone wanted to read an excerpt that sounded like a journal article, they’d go read the journal itself.
  • Be detailed. We want more than the basics, as our motto says, "We want to give people the tools they need to build the body they want."
