Website copy writing is one of the most essential skills to have if you’re promoting anything online. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost. But forget everything you’ve been told about copywriting -it’s all wrong!
They say you need to hire a copy writer - they are wrong! Hiring a copywriter is the WORST thing that you can do. Even if grammatically correct, their copy will disappoint. It will be empty and lack that magic ingredient that your customers will love - YOU! Only you have the unique mix of knowledge, passion and experience that could create a special bond with your customers.
They say you haven’t the time to write and if you did it wouldn’t be good enough - they are wrong! They create and foster this false idea to keep your self confidence low instead I show you how easy it can be. How easy you will find writing headlines and creating copy using the exact same techniques that turned be from a student who failed school English twice to a successful writer, editor and communications consultant!
They tell you that PLR copy is the answer - they are wrong! PLR (Private Label Rights) copy is dreadful. It’s the industrial approach to website content in which you can buy 100s of articles in one go.
They don’t want you to know how to write so that you keep going back to them.
They are the dusty academics and academics that like to make you feel stupid when you make mistakes and they just love pointing them out. There may not be an official conspiracy with a secret HQ but it’s just as effective. For example, when have you ever heard a copywriter say “Here’s a better way of doing it that will save you time and money”?
My guess would be never! Why would they they have you trapped and paying each time for something that you could easily learn and creata far more intersting copy that your cutsomers would love.
Here instead are four rules for creating great website content that both your human visitors and the search engines will love. 1. Don’t hire a copy writer - it is your voice and opinions that your customer wants to hear. 2. Create a unique bond - use your passion, knowledge and experience to build a unique trust between you and your customer. 3. Deal with their issues - By tackling their issues, fears and frustrations you can actually change your customers into rapid fans. 4. Finally, the biggest one - solve their problems and they’ll come back for more.
