Quit Being So Passive!
It's true. Passive people aren't just annoying in life. Not that being aggressive is a good thing either - but that is not what I'm talking about.
Passive people do not get what they want and neither do passive copywriters.
When you write content - whether it is for the web or for print - use an active voice. This helps the reader become more involved in the content and in turn, more likely to perform the action you desire.
Examples 1:
- Passive - The children are dreaming of a world without violence.
- Active - The children dream of a world without violence.
Example 2:
- Passive - This brand has been rated the #1 killer of fire ants.
- Active - This brand is rated the #1 killer of fire ants.
The passive voice slows your reader down. Use the active voice to make your copy clear, concise and easy to understand.
