Choose topic
What you like
What you’re good at
Perceived demand?
What you can tell
a story about
It does not need to
be cutting edge!
Me & My Mac by Martin Gommel on Flickr (CC-BY,NC,SA)
Stylistic tricks
Write in your own
(speaking) voice
KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Start with the
most important
Could
(Would?)
I read
(and understand)

Try to keep it
informal
The web is
visually oriented

readers to engage in, and
remember, content
By focusing on real-
time data collection,
processing and
exploitation, the
transport industry
will finally be able to
adress the famous
“long tail” of mass
customization.
