Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.

Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Opens with a question
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Marketers and content teams
