Have you wondered what makes one ebook's web site sales soar
and another ebook's sales go flatter than a pancake? First things
first, words sell not flashy web sites. Bouncing balls and flashy
entry pages have never sold anyone anything; only words can
do that. You must write to convince people to take action.
Most prospects will never pull out their wallets because they
like your web design; they do so only when your words convince
them to. Here are some tips to create compelling sales letters
that sell your ebook:
1. Create a compelling (must get information) headline
Researchers have proven negative headlines works best. For example,
"Stop Making these Site Mistakes – Discover 10 Vital
Things to Do Right Now" will get the attention of anyone
struggling to make sales online using their website. It will
make them want to read more.
The same goes for "Don't Even Think About Skipping This
Page!" People by nature are attracted to the negative.
Why do you think the Jerry Springer's show is so popular or
even Desperate Housewives. People react to the negative in spite
of themselves. It will create a curiosity pull.
2. Avoid all caps or bold caps in your headlines.
All caps reduce the readability of your copy. It makes it harder
to understand. It interrupts the flow of your message and slows
your reader down. Use bold to emphasize a point and underlined
to especially emphasize. Headlines can have every other word
starting with the first letter capped. The variety will be much
more effective than all caps.
3. Write compelling copy.
Draw your reader in like a big fish on a hook. Entice them to
want to know more and more. It takes practice but use the copy
that sold you as a template. Use benefits including the interactive
and the enticing format.
4. Connect your dots.
Create copy that flows smoothly from point to point. Again,
it takes a little practice but you can achieve great flow by
pinpointing your transitional points. Smooth them by using transitional
paragraphs and new point headlines. If written correctly, long
copy works best.
5. Create a sales template file.
Start a file with all the good sales letters you encounter along
the way. You can learn a lot by studying other successful letters.
Don't plagiarize (copy word for word.) Use the good letters
you collect as your templates.
You don't have to be a famous copywriter to write effective
sales letters. In fact, you have everything it takes to write
an order-pulling sales letter for your business. You have the
passion, the knowledge of your ebook and now the sales letter
template. Follow the above steps to get organized and then write
your compelling letter to convince every prospect that your
ebook is the one they want.
