INTRODUCTION
NB:
Only it is only a sales guru that will give you the first few lines of his
ebook as a sales copy and you won’t be able to resist it.
TAKE IT FROM ME:
Without a well-written and visually appealing converting sales letter, your
product page is effectively dead.
However,
the truth is that anyone can create a conversion-optimized sales page with the
proper knowledge of how it's done.
You
see, the practice of one-page-long sales letters being used widely today by
businesses of various sizes to sell and push their products and/or services
into the Internet marketplace.
This
is because sales letters written in this manner have been time-tested. As you
are surely aware, sales letters are essentially one LONG page written with one
purpose in mind: to assist the prospect in purchasing the product.
It's
like having an electronic salesperson work for you, and it surely beats
prospecting and selling to someone else face to face, or taking a chance on
sending out hard copy mails (which can be 5-20 pages lengthy when printed) and
risking not recouping your investment in printing.
A
sales letter is considered to have a respectable conversion rate of between 2%
and 4%. If your sales letter generates more than 4%, you are doing well.
According to some marketers, they generate 6% and as much as 20%-30% of revenue
from cold prospects!
Believe
it or not, an internet sales letter is primarily composed of text with
occasional graphics. Additionally, words are extremely potent instruments; they
should be viewed as double-edged swords.
When utilized appropriately, words may literally sell. Not only will your sales letter's conversion rate decrease, but it may also send the wrong message, and the worst-case situation is that you will offend your prospects (besides not closing the sale).
I
have a sneaking hunch that your sales letters are currently not converting at
the desired pace. Or perhaps this is your first attempt at acquiring a
life-long asset or talent in the area of web marketing.
Perhaps
you want to explore all feasible avenues for improving your sales copy without
having to spend a fortune on pricey copywriters at the present.
Regardless
of your present demands, I'm confident that you'll find this guide beneficial
and that when you include these suggestions into your sales copy, you'll notice
a noticeable increase in conversion rates.
Sub-Headline & Headline
1. Highlight your headline in red.
Oftentimes,
the red color denotes urgency or significance. Alternatively, if red does not
go with the color theme of your sales copy, you can use black or text with a
yellow highlight in the backdrop.
However,
it is recommended to use red as the headline color because it pairs well with
practically every theme color.
2. The font size of your headline
must be greater than the font size utilized in the body of your sales letter.
The
objective of your headline is to pique your prospect's interest and compel him
or her to read and qualify. As a result, it's critical that your headline
stands out from the rest of your normal typeface.
Typically,
the headline font is one or two times the size of the ordinary type.
3. In the headline, imply a benefit or a synopsis of your offer.
Additionally,
the advantage should frequently refer to your prospect, not YOU or another
party. Even if you use a different character in the headline, make certain that
it ultimately relates to your prospect and how or why it could benefit him or
her.
How
about the characters?
4. Include an image in your headline.
It
adds intrigue to your sales text and, in many situations, connects it to your
prospects. Consider the following:
Discover How A 24 Year
Old Student Is Earning THREE TIMES AS MUCH ON THE INTERNET AS HIS UNIVERSITY
PROFESSOR!
This
headline is best suited for young people and those who are young at heart who
are interested in learning how to earn money online.
Or:
How A 27-Year-Old
Jobless Chap Avoided Bankruptcy and Became Financially Independent, and How YOU
Can, Too!
This
title is most appropriate for persons who are broke or bankrupt and want to
learn how to better their financial situation regardless of their age.
Depending
on the nature of your product or service, the more you can connect it to the
majority of your prospects, the more likely you are to entice your readers to
read your sales letter and, perhaps, purchase from you.
5. Your subheading acts as a hook,
enticing readers to continue reading.
The
sub headline continues to discuss additional reasons for your reader to
continue reading that are not included in the headline.
The sub heading is typically lower in font size (by one) than the headline and is frequently colored differently as well. Black is a complementary hue to the subheading. In short, you want to convince your prospects that they owe it to themselves to read the entire letter.
6. Avoid using an excessive number
of words in the headline.
As
a general rule, your headline should contain between 20 and 25 words and 4-6
lines.
Avoid
making your title too lengthy to read; else, the prospect may become impatient
and quit your sales page without understanding the entire value of your offer.
Your Sales Copy's Opening
7. Begin with a tale in your sales
copy.
Many
of today's typical sales copy is written in this tedious style. You may
instantly pique your prospect's attention by including a fable or, better yet,
a factual story in your account.
Most
significantly, the anecdote must relate to the offer made later in the sales
text. Here is an illustration:
Once upon a time, three
friends agreed to take a brief break from an extended discussion. They arranged
to row a boat to the center of a lake and have tea in the afternoon.
The three friends
rented a boat and paddled their way to the lake's center. They realized as they
sat down to drink their tea that they had neglected to bring the teapot.
"I'll get the teapot," volunteered the first friend. He rose to his
feet, dangled one leg over the edge of the boat, and began walking across the
water to the land and back to the boat with the teapot.
While they were boiling
the water, they realized they had also forgotten the tea leaves. They both
laughed, and the second friend offered to fetch the tea leaves. He walked on
water by extending one leg over the side of the boat. He returned shortly
afterwards by walking on water as well.
The three friends
quickly enjoy their afternoon tea on the boat, but it would be wonderful to
have some nibbles. The third companion agreed to retrieve some tidbits from the
store rows along the shore, despite his reluctance. He insisted on it
regardless.
He rose to his feet,
just like his pals, and slung one leg over the edge of the boat. He began
bearing down on his leg and... SPLASH! He sank and strained to maintain his
buoyancy. The other two pals leapt in to save him when they noticed he was
drowning.
As he clambered into the boat for safety, dripping wet, the third companion inquired, "How did you two manage to walk on water?" "Oh, that's because we know where the rocks are," the two pals agreed.
8. Discuss a significant or vital
problem.
If
your product is directly tied to a significant or crucial recent issue that the
bulk of your prospects are facing, there is no better case scenario than this
(or as I like to refer to it, niche marketing at its finest)!
For
instance, if the majority of your prospects are currently having difficulty
rewriting Private Label articles and your product is an article rewriter
software, you can mention the article rewriting issue in your introductory letter,
such as:
Today,
the majority of people foolishly acquire Private Label Rights to goods... that
have previously been sold and utilized by hundreds, if not thousands, of
people.
As
a result, there have been several search engine penalties, rejections from
content directories, and an army of riddling copycats.
True, one approach to ensure uniqueness is to entirely rewrite the articles, but won't that be a waste of time? And if you're going to spend hours rewriting, isn't that counterproductive to the point of purchasing Private Label materials in the first place?
9. Make educated guesses about your
potential.
While
some successful people adopt a no-assumptions mentality, the reality is that
you may still make some safe assumptions from time to time, and everyone DO
make assumptions from time to time, whether they are aware of it or not.
Another
fact is that people can be predictable.
This
was demonstrated in an informal study in which a speaker asked the audience
three straightforward questions. They were not required to respond immediately
and were instructed to retain only their responses.
He posed three questions:
• Consider a single digit,
• Consider a color, and
• Consider a flower.
When
the audience made up their minds in an instant, he proceeded to ask, "How
many of you were thinking of 7 for the first question?" Easily more than
75% of those present raised their hands.
This
was also true when he inquired as to whether they were considering blue or rose
for the ensuing questions. Overall, he correctly guessed AT LEAST ONE of the
three questions more than 75% of the time!
Isn't that incredible?
While
this was only a research, it demonstrates that people are predictable and that
if you understand the bulk of your prospects and their demands, you will
qualify a substantial portion of them!
For instance:
I have a sneaking hunch
that you're on a shoestring budget and just have a few hundred dollars to spend
on marketing and promotion.
OR:
You've probably failed
in previous relationships or this is your first attempt at landing a date with
your dream girl.
10. Be sure to follow up with a
reference to a problem your target is currently experiencing.
You
want to qualify your prospect by informing him or her of the issue at hand.
And
then you want to inflate the problem's size, as if it's a huge matter.
Remember!
Take cautious not to go overboard with exaggeration, but you want to emphasize
how critical it is for your prospect to address the issue immediately (with
your product or service, of course).
11. Don't forget to make an
introduction!
However,
you are not need to make it extremely fantastical. A little introduction would
be adequate.
For instance: Johnny Cage is my name, and I've been designing graphics professionally since 1998.
Your Sales Copy's Middle Section
12. Educate your customers about
your solution through your product or service.
You
may like to demonstrate to your prospect various alternates prior to moving in
with yours, but demonstrate that they are somewhat less viable than yours.
For example, you could attend a
seminar, but UNLESS you have large resources, this is a long shot.
And
what about guesswork? Ignore it. You lack the risk tolerance to make additional
financial mistakes, and there is no time to waste!
Therefore,
what is the optimal solution?
Here's
Where You Introduce Your Name Product...
13. Summarize all of your
advantages in bullet points.
There
is no more orderly manner than to emphasize all of your product's or service's
benefits in bullet form (with space between each) like follows:
•
Insert benefit #1
•
Insert benefit #2
•
Insert benefit #3
Important!
Contrast benefits and features. The features of your product determine how it
will appear and seem. Benefits are the things that the product can DO to
benefit your prospects.
For instance:
The product is
available in PDF format.
Benefit: You can download the product
immediately rather than waiting six weeks for delivery!
The E-Book is 40 pages
in length.
Benefits: My guidebook is devoid of fluff,
hype, and obfuscation. You will learn everything you need to know from this
guidebook, and I guarantee that any guesswork will be erased 40 pages later!
15. If you're running a membership
site or your product contains a large number of components, break up the
advantages section into numerous easily-read sections.
You
would be wise to organize the components and portions of the benefits in this
manner. Consider the following:
Component 1: The Library of Resale
Rights
You'll
receive ten brand-new goods with Master Resell Rights each month. I guarantee
you've never seen these before, as we're creating them directly from our heated
hard drive! And you may resell these products at any price you choose and
retain 100% of the profits without any profit sharing!
Component 2: Pack of Sales Letters
and Graphics
Each
of the new products includes a professionally written sales letter complete
with mini-site visuals to assist you in selling the products.
16. Provide only suggestions in the
advantages section; do not reveal the secret!
Because
when you give away the secrets or contents of your product, prospects have no
need to purchase it because all of the critical information is readily
available in your sales letter!
Additionally,
avoid making it simple for others to guess your contents or secrets.
For instance, discover
a simple tip for increasing your conversion rate simply by adding this ONE
phrase to your headline!
OR How to utilize
G__________ to build an email list for FREE!
17. Emphasize what's in it for your
prospects and avoid being too self-centered.
In
other words, avoid employing too many Is and increase the number of YOUs in
your benefits. By and large, people despise self-centered individuals (even if
they are themselves).
Incorporating Endorsements and Testimonials
18. Include images and/or
hyperlinks beneath the titles of your testimonials.
Not
only does this increase the credibility of your testimonials (because simply
text and names may be readily fabricated), but it also allows your prospects to
cross-check them.
Additionally,
photographs convey a concealed message that you made an effort to secure these
individuals' endorsements of you and your product/service.
Therefore,
make an attempt to collect not only URLs but also images whenever available.
19. Include music or video, if
possible.
This
also increases the credibility of your testimonials. Additionally, it is easier
for your consumers to relate their positive experiences with your product or
service using their own personal touch, such as voice or video.

20.
Arrange the testimonials in a pleasing yellow-shade box.
The
ideal color for testimonials in boxes has been determined to be light yellow.
Alternatively, you might choose a gray hue that complements the color scheme of
your sales copy.
21. Sprinkle testimonials
throughout your sales copy if you have a lot of them.
You
can distribute testimonials across your sales pitch in an easily-read fashion,
with the finest testimonial appearing directly beneath your sub title.
The
remaining testimonials can be sprinkled in groups of one, two, or three beneath
each component or immediately preceding another sub headline in the body of the
sales pitch.
22. If you have a limited number of
testimonials, place them below the midsection.
If
you have insufficient testimonials to sprinkle throughout your sales text, you
would be wise to save all or the majority of your testimonials for the
below-the-midsection section, where you establish your reputation by allowing
others to speak for you.
You
may wish to retain the best one or two testimonials and post them beneath the
sub headline to entice your prospects to continue reading.
23. Ensure that your testimonials
are outcome-driven.
In
a nutshell, your testimonials should not focus exclusively on Wow John! You're
fantastic! (Of course, if your name is truly John). It should focus on how your
product or service benefited the witness.
Awakening
24. If you're giving a digital
product to a prospect, such as an E-Book, report, software, or script, remind
them that delivery is instant.
For
instance, the distribution process is automated, and you can immediately get
the handbook upon purchase. Therefore, regardless of the time of day or night,
grab your copy today and discover how you can leverage the world's largest social
networking site to propel your business to new heights!
25. Avoid using the excuse
"until midnight."
This
is especially true in Internet Marketing circles, where the most astute
marketers are well aware that what they are witnessing is a script in action.
Unless you truly intended for your product offer to expire at 12 a.m., you
should avoid this strategy.
Because
it is quite misleading in more than one sense, even while attempting to
persuade your prospects to act immediately. Obviously, your goods would still
be available the next day, at the same price.
Therefore,
substitute any other scarcity factor for this one!
26. Convince your prospect to act
due to scarcity.
You
can claim that you're limiting the quantity of your product (and stick to your
word!).
Additionally,
it has been demonstrated that scarcity sells. By nature, people desire the
privilege of ownership, and this is one feature you can leverage to
significantly enhance your conversion rate and sales.
For
instance:
Time-Based
This
is NOT an irrevocable offer. This sale is only available for seven days. After
the seventh day, this promotion will expire and be permanently withdrawn!
Quantitative
Only
100 copies will be made available. That is all. Once the 100th copy is sold,
this offer will never be repeated, EVER!
27. Take advantage of Fast Action
Bonuses.
Nowadays,
simply paying bonuses is insufficient as an incentive, particularly if you're
operating in a competitive niche. Thus, you can strengthen your position by
introducing time-sensitive benefits.
Apart
from the fact that your bonuses must be ideal complements to your primary
offer, their scarcity pushes your prospect to act immediately and exchange the
Fast Action Bonuses for a higher value for the same money spent.
28. Make the offer more enticing by
including a long-term guarantee.
The
longer the duration of your warranty, the better. Instead of remaining
impartial or disinterested, encourage your prospect to try out and test-drive
your goods.
Here is an illustration:
You
are not alone. Make no attempt to reason. Simply attempt.
Additionally,
reassure your prospect that you will bear all risk for him or her within the
guarantee time.
I
stake my reputation on my claims (as bold as they may be), but I'm so sick of
seeing you miss out on such a terrific bargain that I'm ready to take all the
risks for you so you can test it risk-free!
You
may continue writing: You have my word that this is the game-changing
breakthrough you want. And if for any reason you are dissatisfied with the
software, simply send me an email, erase it from your hard drive, and I will
refund every cent of your purchase. There are no questions asked.
You've
got nothing to lose except the opportunity to try it out!
29. Make use of P.S.es to summarize
your offer or to disclose hidden benefits.
The
following are some points worth summarizing in your P.S. (or post-script),
though you do not have to include all of them; a few will suffice:
• Through your Money
Back Guarantee, you are taking on the risk for your prospect.
• It would be more
expensive and time-consuming (or all three) if your prospect sought other
solutions or alternatives to yours.
• You can emphasize the
Fast Action Bonuses and their scarcity, emphasizing that if your prospect does
not act immediately, he or she will miss out.
•
If there are no other urgency factors, emphasize to your prospect how critical
it is for him or her to address her existing difficulties NOW, rather than
later, with your offer.
•
You can utilize the P.S. to disclose additional unmentioned benefits in your
sales letter. It might be an unanticipated bonus, a guarantee declaration, or
an incentive for rapid action.
•
You can choose to publish further compliments and testimonials in order to
entice your prospect to act immediately and become a customer.
In
general, P.S.es function as excellent summaries and encourage your prospect to
act immediately by purchasing using your order link/button/form.
30. Assure your prospect that the
price you're requesting is a steal.
This
can be accomplished by comparing your solution to other, potentially more
expensive solutions offered by your competitors (without revealing names) or to
less effective alternatives.
For instance:
Which
one do you believe is the prudent course of action? Invest $97.00 and learn
everything you need to know about profiting from the stock market OR risk
thousands of dollars shooting in the dark and getting murdered in the process?
OR
For the first time ever, you may gain access to the top marketers' secrets for
the pitiful sum of $47.00. Now, why would you pay $2,000 to attend a seminar
where you will learn the identical secrets that I teach you in my audio course?
In conclusion,
the aforementioned 30 converting sales letter ideas or recommendations are
sufficient among others to assist you in selling your goods at first sight.
