- 2. Managing
• Time – never enough
• Quality – can’t be perfect
• Information - incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent from
one source to another
• Emotions -
• frustration - goals seem impossible
• confusion, standards keep changing
• apathy - I don’t get a byline, I’m not listed as a media
contact so why does it all matter?
• Absurdity - clients are insane, sales reps are hit and miss
on their product knowledge, production demands keep
changing, it all rolls downhill on you

- 3. Opportunity!
• Time – you’re developing speed, a key skill
• Quality – you’re developing quality, a key trait
• Information – you’re developing product and service
knowledge across a wide array of fields and it’s a big
company; you’re building knowledge that could help you
work in another department
• Emotions - That’s what Grooveshark is for! Or Pandora!
• Absurdity - $2 beers at Fox and Hound every Tuesday!!!

Quality Management = Develop a personal
strategy for how you’ll attack each type of site
Not just spelling and grammar but word choice
Choose vivid, enticing words as much as possible
KEY: Think of a scenario in advance – this
should activate the right words in your brain so
that you don’t have to THINK as much or as hard

- 13. Information Management
• Use QAF 644 for complex, sensitive or content-poor
subjects
• You can find it at this link at the bottom:
• http://sp.corp.ybusa.net/adworks/ops/qip/qms/QA%20Forms%20%20
Master%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx
• Minimize the time you need to think or categorize topics

- 14. Time Management
Attack the site strategically = write the elements that do the
heavy lifting FIRST
• Page Names
• Features/products/services
• These should come from the PBC doc
• Callouts = come from your benefits
• Bullet points = come from your features/products/services
= generate your subhead
• Hero / Lead = devote most of your time to this
These three bolded items write your entire site.

- 15. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR WORK
• Write first. Edit later.
• Check spelling and grammar AFTER you’ve written the site.
• You can’t write AND edit WELL at the same time.
• Each tasks requires different sections of your brain and these sections
normally don’t work well together.
• A good hint from Quality Review was read the copy backward if you
have to in order to trick your brain into reading it afresh.
• Check spelling and grammar BEFORE you proof
• Why? Time will have passed between when you wrote it and when
you got it back.
• Hopefully the copy will seem fresher to you.
