How to write effectively :
Successful writers take a variety of approaches to the task of writing.The following steps outline an approach that you can adapt to suit you:

=>Prepare to write,
=>Draft your copy,
=>Edit the draft,
=>Polish your message .
Note : Why not copy and paste? For efficiency, most businesses
frequently reuse copy, such as descriptions of the company,
products, or key personnel.This boilerplate text is usually
general and supplemental. If you start with it,customers
probably won't read past the boilerplate text before they stop.
Boilerplate text is often efficient but not always effective.
Use it wisely.

=>Prepare to write:

Preparation is the partner of clear thinking, and that is
the foundation for clear writing.The better you prepare,
the easier the task of writing becomes.
Do your homework and gather your research.
Learn as much as you can about your customers,
your market, and your competition. You will lean on this
knowledge to build your credibility with your potential
customers. The resources for gathering this information
may include the following: Industry data Performance statistics
Customer metricsSales dataTestimonials and endorsements
of your products and servicesListen to your customers .
You will develop empathy for their issues.
Then, when you remember and usetheir language,
you will convey that you understand their concerns.
To learn the terms that your customers use,
try the following:
Visit online newsgroups and discussion groups daily.
Listen in on sales and support calls weekly.
Meet with key customers as part of a quarterly advisory council.
Identify the action that you want readers to take.
What do you want customers to do when they are finished reading?
=>Click a link?
=>Make a phone call?
=>Send a response card?
=>Think more highly of your business?

Determine carefully how much information you need to provide to get customers to act.
Be realistic — you are unlikely to close a sale.
And test your response system so that you can follow through
effectively when many of your readers do act.
Define your goals :
=>What will success look like?
=>Do you want a specific number of new prospects, or new or returning customers?
=>Do you want to meet a specific sales volume, or
=>increase thenumber of visitors to your business?
Knowing what and how much you want to achieve helpsyou
to stay focused when you develop your content.
Take stock of your resources:
Work within your budget and other limitations. It is better to work with what you have than to get halfway through your projectand realize you can't possibly meet your goal within your resource constraints.
Draft your copyKnow the difference between writing and editing.
When you are writing, editing hinders you. Save the honing for later.
Write anything at all . Don't expect to get it right at first.
Turn off the inner critic as you write about:
=>Your overall message => Your key points =>What you want to tell your readers?
=>What you want them to do? => How your product or service will benefit them.
Keep writing until you think you have covered all the points that you need to make. Make it as long as you need. You will return to it later to organize, edit, and hone it.
