Writing Sales Copy the Smart Way

By Chelsea Rowberry


Writing a good sales letter is a skill that every internet marketer needs to acquire. As long as you can speak good English, you can create copy that converts. The best way to convince your prospects to buy your product, which is your job as a copywriter, is to write in a conversational tone. The following tips will help you create copy that conveys your sales message without taking away the essence of your product.

You need to set the scene in order to get results from your sales copy. When you design your page according to the taste of your prospects, you give them a feel for the environment. So if your page sells medical equipment, it should have a sober look but if you sell funky jewelry, then it should echo that feel. How well your page converts depends on the elements you focus on, so make this important step part of your overall copywriting plan. The first draft of your copy doesn't need to be perfect so spend too much time with it.

Secondly, create a copy that people can get a gist of by simply glancing through it. A lot of the individuals reading on the Internet just glance at content, as opposed to reading all the words. This is the argument for your copy needing to be formed by such a means that anybody going through it should be able to get the picture of what it is you're trying to say. With the aim of getting to this, maintain concise subheadings, and make your paragraphs clear. Developing a copy in monstrous blocks of content is an austere no-no on account of that would just cause the prospects to feel driven away.

Last, take a little something from a few other copywriters. Well, maybe not actually steal it, but sponge a few points that can be put to good use in your copy. Smart copywriters have their own borrowed files where they store the works of other copywriters so that they can apply them to their own sales copies in the future. Learning from other sales copies is not a bad thing. Besides this, you should also work on testing the various elements of the copy yourself. See to it that you're not getting stagnant. The most important thing that will improve your conversion rate is to sponge ideas and use some of them for your own sales copies.

This mindset will only present itself if your start using these little tactics and plan to get long term results. Even if you haven't written a sales copy before, it doesn't really matter. As long as you can consistently work on getting better, and enhance your skill, there will be no looking back.?
