•Be USEFUL to the reader,

•Provide him with a sense of URGENCY,

Scannable Structure

• meaningful sub-headings (not "clever" ones)

• highlighted keywords (hypertext links and bold text get read more often)

• bulleted lists

• one idea per paragraph (users will skip over any additional ideas if they are not caught by the first few words in the paragraph)

• use the inverted pyramid
