Booklets - to Jargon or Not to Jargon

How do you know if your booklet has words in it that are unique to your expertise, that someone new to your information just would not know? It's very likely you are so close to your own knowledge that it is difficult to see an industry-specific word in your own writing.

A simple solution is to do a search on that ever-popular resource, www.Google.com Do a search using the word best representing your industry, followed by the word 'glossary.' An example is Mortgage Glossary. I found several decent online glossaries when I did that search. It's a great way to see the words you might have glossed over in your own writing, plus it can trigger some ideas you hadn't thought to include in your booklet.

Include a glossary at the end of your booklet if you have room, and if you've used words that would be new to your reader. Doing this will further earn the trust of your reader.

Until next time,
Paulette
