Ability to write a good copy is probably the most profitable skill that you can develop. However, it requires diligence and practice. While you can read tons of literature o how to of the subject, nothing would benefit untill you start writing.
More you write, better you become.
Here are few tips to produce a great web copy.
Headline
Headline is the first puller to your copy. Most copywriters start with headline. It is better to write as many head lines as you can and then select the best.
Renowned copywriter Bob Bly says, “Headline is your most articulate expression of the big selling idea behind your package, and If you can write a strong headline on it, you probably understand that big idea pretty well.”
That shows how important it is to write a good headline for your copy.
Start With The prospect
A person does not want to know how great your product is. He is interested in knowing what great things it can do for him. Therefore, start with the prospect, not the product. Tell him about prospect’s dream,his hopes, dreams, needs, fears, problems, concerns, and desires and how your product can help him.
Write For Target, Not Everyone
If your product is for needs of specific group, there is no point in writing the copy for everybody. You sales letter must address to the special problems faced by that specific group and how your product is suitable for that.Better you target your copy, more would be conversion.
Hit The Emotion
Because most of the buying is imppulsive and based on emotions, you need to bring that emotion out in conscious mind of the reader. For every problem of life we have an understanding that migh lie dormant in our minds. Therefore sometimes we are not able to understand the impact of the problem in our lives. As a copywriter your job is to hit that emotion and amplify so that prospect sees it more clearly.
When reader gets into the problem, offer him the solution.
Writing Body
You must write complete body as an ordinary document. Print and get to work now. Highlight the areas you want to move to closer to the front. Mark the sentencecs that you might bullet. Read it over several times and make changes as necessary.
Direct Checkout
I have seen many web copies where I had to click on the order link to know the price. Come on guys! That sounds cheap.
Tell your customer the price upfront. One who does not buy would not buy any way.
I would invite more ideas on this. Please do share your comments
