Lesson 3:
Understanding the Style Game

Every company has slight stylistic variations… including some that are unique to their brand. It’s your job to be aware of them, so you send back edited copy exactly how they want it.
Here’s a look at what you’ll learn:

- How to create your own style sheet (and use it as an upsell for your services!)…
- A list of common issues addressed by a style guide (so you know what to look for when working with a client’s “House style” AND to serve as a starting point if you create a style guide from scratch)…
- And much more!
As I mentioned earlier, you can get paid extra to create these for clients, too. So, we’ve also added two valuable bonuses to make sure you can create top-notch style guides with ease…
