Submitted by Max on Thursday, 30 December 2010No Comment

There’s nothing anywhere that beats solid sales copy that gets the selling job done. Your sales, your leads, your income, everything depends on how well your sales copy converts. However, it does take some time before you can actually write like a pro. Copywriting is totally different, in so many ways, from any other form of writing. You’ll need to have an understanding of copywriting principles and lots of practice before you’ll be doing it with any measure of competence. In this article we will be discussing some useful copywriting tips for your online business.

Always write your copy like you’re talking one-on-one to someone. If you want to maximize your conversions, and we know you do, then always offer some kind of proof for your claims. Use testimonials as much as you can, and do be sure they are real because it’s illegal to use fake ones. Sales copy can be tricky because if you do anything that sparks more doubt than they arrived with, then you’re done. The FTC really loves for only unsolicited testimonials to be used, but you can ask for expert evaluations and customer feedback and possible use as a testimonial. The most effective testimonials are detailed and not an essay, shall we say. Always be willing to provide a product copy to anyone who is reviewing the product for you. It’s not always possible, but if you’re lucky enough to get someone to send a video testimonial, then that’s pure gravy because they’re powerul and work well.

Never confuse your prospect with disorganized copy, and it’s fine if it’s long. In other words, it has to be scannable. Research has proven that online readers are impatient, busy, and they always scan a document before deciding to slow down and actually read. Break-up your copy by writing in shorter paragraphs and shorter sentences. Another effect you want to achieve is making good use of white space. Always use well-written subheading because they’re useful for organization, plus they’re another tool for creating white space. Sub-headings divide sections and topics of the copy. Well-written copy can be scanned with the reader only looking at the sub-headings, and that person will get a good idea about the meaning of the letter.

Pick your words carefully; use “you” rather than “I,” and use words that affect people positively, like, “powerful,” “wealthy,” “incredible” or “breakthrough.” You want your prospects to feel hopeful and inspired from reading your copy. You can’t really write good copy without some hype, just stay within the boundaries of honesty. Oh yes, be sure you take the time to study whatever you’re writing about, and get to know the product completely. Copywriting as a field is really quite fascination for a lot of reasons, so we hope these tips will motivate you to continue learning.
