You can use these tips when it comes to creating offers, E-mails and sales letters that grab people’s attention.
So without further ado, here they are!
Number one:
Always write your sales letter with the individual in mind.
Whenever you’re writing a sales letter or an E-mail, you want to write that E-mail or sales letter as though you were talking to one person.
Number two:
Pull them in with the first line.
You’ve got to create interest with the reader, the very first line that they read.
Number three:
Use bullets.
People like to scan, they like to quickly read things as fast as they can, and using bullets makes that whole process a heck of a lot easier. So use them.
Number four:
Just let it flow.
When you’re starting to write a letter, it is very difficult to just start from top to bottom and write everything. When it comes to writing it and actually putting everything down in order, I want you to just write as it’s coming out.
Number five:
Write like you speak.
I briefly touched on this in one of the earlier points. But it’s much easier for you to envision that you’re communicating with one individual as though you’re having a conversation with that person, because when that person reads your sales letter or your E-mail, they’re going to feel like you’re talking right to them, and that’s exactly what you want.
Number six:
Make your communication easy to read.
What I mean by that is use short paragraphs. Use pictures. I want you to bold certain things. I want you to highlight important areas.
Number seven:
I want you to stress the benefits and not the features.
I want you to put yourself in the shoes of the person reading your communication piece
The number one question that they’re going to be asking is: What’s in it for me? You have to address those things, and you’ve got to stress the benefits of your particular communication piece that you’re trying to use.
Number eight:
I want you to keep the reader interested.
How do you do that? On a sales letter there are a ton of ways that you can keep the reader interested, and I’m going to give you a few of them right now.
– You can use graphs.
– You can use pictures.
– You can use audio.
– You can use video.
– Another one that people love to see are testimonials.
– Another one that you can always use is giving examples of proof.
– Do you have checks?
– Do you have screen shots of people registering for certain things?
Whatever you’re trying to sell or promote, I want you to give proof that it works or that it would provide benefit to the person that is reading it – screen shots, pictures, testimonials – these are all great things of proof.
So there you have it… 8 quick tips to improve your copywriting skills.
