Compelling Copywriting Tips For The Less Than Advanced Writer

By Don Grant


Copywriting, persuading readers with written words to buy your product or service, is almost as old as writing itself. Online copywriting, however, is a little different from traditional copywriting. Web surfers have shorter attention spans than other readers, so if you don't get their attention right away, you will lose them. Internet marketers depend quite a bit on having effective sales copy, so it's worthwhile to learn as much about copywriting as you can. In this article we will be looking into a few copywriting tips that will help you get the most out of your sales copy.

Always give them an offer that is impossible to refuse. You'll have to be clear as to why a reader, potential customer, should purchase from your sales copy. One possible reason people are hesitant about making the buy decision is because they want to look around - at your competitors. One approach that many marketers attempt is to deliver much more than their competitors. So what you'll do is build real and solid value into your product/service offer. This can be done by having value added bonuses along with your product, so that overall offer becomes enticing. Whether it's adding value or giving away higher value at a lower price, be it anything, your offer should stand out.

You are the grand host, and in that capacity you need to make people feel totally comfortable, and one way to do that is by eliminating any risk to doing business with you. Don't be afraid to give an awesome guarantee to your readers. The less experienced marketers tend to be afraid to offer a great guarantee by thinking they'll get ripped-off. Experience and testing shows that having a strong guarantee will produce more sales, plus - really, people in most markets are honest. You will discover that extremely few people will ever do that, plus if it does happen it is just business - dismiss it. But the simply-stated guarantee works fine. Here's a small tip - the longer guarantee time you will have for your product, the less refund requests you will get.

Try to flex your copywriting muscles and write compelling and good copy, and avoid writing hypey sales copy because everyone is tired of reading it. Lack of hype does not equal boring copy, you can use your command of the language plus your copywriting skills to write effective copy that is not bland or boring.

Copywriting is selling with words, bottom line, and it makes no difference exactly what it is you're trying to sell. Just realize and accept that people only purchase anything because it they need to address some sort of emotional need, and only later do they bother to justify it using logical processes. The best way to learn copywriting is by studying the masters who lived before and some are still living. In short, there's no better skill to develop if you want to achieve success in the Internet marketing world.
