How to Write a Great Sale Copy
July 13th, 2009 by James BortonAre you frustrated because you spent a lot of money on SEO and creating a beautiful site, but are still not getting the customers you need? You may have spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars by now and are about to give up because you are just not getting the sales and conversions you are looking for. Did you know that the reason for this is that pictures and SEO alone do not sell? So what does? Words sell, and that is why you need to read this article and learn the principles of creating content that will convert.
The most essential thing in creating a content that can sell is to understand a human behavior. People are mostly driven by their emotions when it comes to making decisions on purchasing something. First of all, they want to know what benefit can they obtain by using the product and how can it solve their problem?
In other words, try not to sell your products by telling how great they are, explain how people are going to benefit from them instead. Offer them some kind of emotional benefit instead of feature.
The next principle is being actually understood by people. Try to make your copy in simple conversational style. People like it that way and it will more likely lead them to take some action. Being perceived by people gives you an access to their brain, so you will have a chance to influence their decision making process.
The third principle is to write to one person you know instead of to a lot of people you dont know. Pretend that you are sitting down with a friend of yours and telling them about your product or service. You are not selling them; you are simply telling them about what it can do for them and conveying your passion and enthusiasm as a helpful friend.
If you still find this method problematic, just dial your best friend and tell them what all your business is about. Do not forget to record the conversation, you will be able to use it to write your first great copy.
Make sure you apply these principles when creating your own copy and dont be afraid to rewrite it as many times as you consider is needed. This is a right way to become a great writer and develop your writing skills.
View writing as an ongoing process and soon you will not only be comfortable with it, but will see how positively it will result in your business.
