10 #Intranet Writing Tips (Even if You Already Rock at Business Writing)

 

1. Write a catchy but clear title.

The title of your intranet article or blog post is extremely important. It’s the first thing your colleagues will notice. 

 

2. Write a useful introduction or summary. A good guide is to answer the following questions in your intro:

  • What is this content all about?

  • Why should the intranet user keep reading?

 

3. Write in a conversational tone.

Most business writing is not conversational, and so this tip may come as a surprise. Aren’t you supposed to be business-like on your intranet?

Sure, you are, but that doesn’t mean being stiff or boring. Write the way you would talk in a meeting. I’m pretty sure that’s more relaxed than your annual reports.

4. Write like a journalist.

Your readers are in a hurry, so go ahead and put your key points up front, like a journalist does. Get straight to the point instead of burying it in paragraphs of text. Instead, state your most important statements in the beginning, then follow with supporting points.

5. Keep it brief.

By now you’ve noticed that writing for the intranet involves making your reader’s job as easy as possible. That means your intranet content should be only as long as it needs to be. Remove all fluff.

And, remember how it’s harder to read from a computer screen than from paper? This means you need to keep your sentences and paragraphs short.
