If you summarized every single book and article written on writing for the web, you’d get the three words I’m about to tell you.

Yet, no one — not even the experts, authors, or pundits — has, to my knowledge, ever consolidated all this knowledge into one simple, sticky process.

Write with these three words in mind, and anything you publish on the web will rivet attention, stoke desire, and get action.
