"Even if you
are on the Right Track, You're Probably Going to Get Run Over If You Just
Stand There". Deliver Astounding Profits using Extraordinary Copy
Secrets!
G’day,
So what’s the problem? You have a great business, product or affiliate
program. You understand your market. Your profit margin is good. Your
order taking system is up and running. Sadly, but expectantly you peer
into your
email box every morning . . . where are the orders?
If you are trying to reach your target market via the internet your copy
might as well be written in Chinese if you are just stating product facts.
You have to tell, not sell.
You can employ the best designer in the world, produce the most stunning
ads and cosmetically appealing web site ever seen, but it doesn't really
matter because consumers are looking for solutions to their problem, not
someone raving on about how good their product are.
Regardless of what you're trying to sell, you really can't sell it without "talking" with
your prospective buyer. You have to go back to basics. It’s all about
solving your buyer’s problem, gaining their trust and simply talking
to them like a real person.
All exceptional copy "tells" rather than “sells”.
Your reader is a human being just like you. When you are watching TV and
an ad comes on, don’t you get up and get a snack, drink or chat to
your partner? So how effective do you think a written advertisement will
be? If the reader chats to their partner, they aren’t reading your
copy are they? They probably won’t go back to reading it either.
Think about how you can "set the scene" by appealing to a desire or
need. Tell a personal story, and then let it flow smoothly into a "visionary" explanation
by describing in detail how wonderful life will be and, how "good" the
prospective buyer is going to feel after he's purchased your product. This is
the "body or guts" of the copy.
Winning, sales generating copy follows a time-tested and proven formula:
l) Get the person’s attention in an attention grabbing way.
2) Tell them in what’s in it for them. Your copy must be irresistible;
your reader has to want to read it all the way through.
3) Make them drool with desire. The benefits of your product have to look, smell
and feel so good they can taste it.
4) Demand action NOW! Join this newsletter NOW! Add a time limit, or close by
date. Any procrastination my cause them to miss out.
5) Break up the "work" of reading by using short, punchy sentences,
under lining important points you're trying to make, with the use of sub-headlines,
indentations and colour.
Regardless of the length of your copy, it should do one thing, and that is
tell, and tell enthusiastically all the problems that you will solve. Push
the benefits
that they will gain. Make it very clear what’s in it for them.
The "inside secrets" are to make your copy so interesting, so propped
up by massive benefits that your soon to be client, just can’t say
NO!
Until next time,
