Copy Writing Crash Course - Part 1

An Introduction To Copy Writing
So, you’re at the verge of releasing your product, one which you believe should be a blockbuster since you know of its high quality and you have invested a lot of effort, time and resources for its creation.

There is no reason why it should become a market failure, right?

Well, guess again.  Despite what many idealistic online merchants would rather believe, online marketing is a sales page-driven industry.  By this, I mean that the success of a product greatly depends on how well-written and how potent the sales letter that promotes the same can be.

Your Sales Pages Is Your Digital Salesperson

Doing business online has its own set of limitations.  The most obvious of these is the fact that transactions are less personal.  You can’t meet your prospects and talk to them face to face.  They can’t see you.  They can’t even hear your voice.

All you have are words – printed words – by which you can convey your business message.

How well you’ll be able to convince your prospects to purchase your products will depend on how well you’ll be able to use the words at your disposal.  Use the wrong words, or use the right words the wrong way, and you can potentially turn them off instead of winning their consent.

Hence, the creation of your sales page is a very fragile matter, a task which many online businessmen would rather leave to the experts.

Copy Writing Is Not Only A Skill, It’s A Science

Copy writing is the term for the creation of a sales copy.  Professional copywriters spend thousands of dollars and countless hours of formal education to hone their craft.  Why?  Because copy writing is a very sensitive task.  Often, the difference between millions of dollars in profit and a product that will prove to be a loss boils down to the usage of a single word.  After all, readers who encounter a word that they do not like can simply redirect their browsers somewhere else, thus making you lose a sale.

If you want to learn copy writing to enable you to prepare your own sales letter, then I must be honest with you.  The best way to accomplish such is to enroll in any reputable academy offering such lessons.  Nothing can beat formal education.

But if you just can’t wait and you want to acquire some copy writing skills fast for that product you are itching to release, then here are two alternatives:

1. Hire a Copywriter.  This will set you back a couple of thousands of dollars, but at least, you will often have a web copy that sells.

Copy writing is not something that just about anyone can do.  There are some skills that you are expected to possess before attempting to learn the same.  The most essential of these skills is your writing prowess.  You need to learn how to write, and how to write well.  The only way you can do this is by reading a lot.  Veteran writers will tell you that no one can write from a vacuum.  You need to have ideas to share, models to follow, and a style to develop, and all of these can be learned through vigorous reading.

Using Contests to Promote Your Website

It’s always a race to win visitors.  Marketing strategies are being employed left and right in a constant effort to garner the attention of web users and drive them to our websites.  There are some tried and tested strategies that Internet marketers use, but perhaps, because of the need to innovate, a lot of unconventional ones are also making the rounds. It is not uncommon to find a novel tactic being employed.  But sometimes, the technique so used is so unorthodox that it may even come off as weird to most people.  Though you can’t blame online businessmen for trying, since, as we’ve said, it’s a race to win visitors. Take this for example.  I once chanced upon a website that offered $5 just for signing up.  However, to en-cash the said credits, you would have to become an affiliate and increase your funds to $500.  A cursory look at the products and the jaded Internet marketer would immediately see that it would take at least a year and a...

The simple solution would seem to be: lead visitors into clicking the ads displayed on your pages. But no.  This is not allowed by Google’s TOS.  You will be prohibited from asking your visitors to click on the ads.  The consequences are dire indeed.  Your earnings will be held.  Worse, your account will be terminated.
