How To Write A Guide
This guide will guide you into writing a quality product guide. Using a standard template per guide will keep guests coming to the site, and creates a form of uniformity throughout the sections of guidetobuy.info.
What is our mission and strategy.
Mission statement: becoming the number one platform with quality introductions to product information on guiding beginners and advanced guests to buy the right product by making it information clear and understandable.
Strategy: creating a dynamic informative website with unique understandable information to buying (electronic) products. With that a user community to keep information right and up to date.
The 10 basic principles that have to be kept with writing a guide.
- A guide gives a (full) explanation of available product types and differences in quality and techniques.
- Always keep in mind that our website guest are not (well) informed with product terms.
- Inform yourself good (be an expert).
- Never copy text from other sources. Paraphrasing is OK.
- Keep the text easy to read. Use the steps in 'product guide steps' as a template.
- Use good English.
- Explain information, but don't be too specific (Bad: history. Good: pro's and con's)
- Use the 'terms explained' in the way it is meant to be. Think of a product box with the specs, use only these.
- Use the advanced admin edit options like: listing, bold, colors, headers, to keep the text structured.
- Don't advise a certain product brand. Except criticism. Keep improving.
