Write Sales Letters

Struggling with Your Sales Copy?  Even the best writers sometimes have trouble creating a sales letter to market their Ebook or other products. Why? Sometimes it because they are so wrapped up in their own creation they find it difficult to take an objective view of the whole. Sometimes they will be tempted to rewrite the content all over again and get bogged down in detail.

But the primary difficulty is that the sales process is different than the A to Z approach to non fiction content. A good sales letter shouldn't be fiction, but like good fiction it needs to play on the readers emotions.  And it needs to do it in a systematic way, almost a formulaic way that follows known steps one after the other.

You need to capture your readers attention and introduce yourself and establish why they should trust you. Then you need to help them feel their pain, their need for your content or product. And all the while, you need to keep their interest so that they don't skip off the the next blog post or web site or incoming phone call.

And you need to do all this before you even introduce your product and systematically demonstrate how it will help them walk on water, and achieve everlasting bliss.  Then you need to prove to them once again you're not pulling their leg and just after their money, which of course you are - you want the sale don't you?

So you promise them the moon and guarantee they will be happy or you will crawl across broken glass to ensure they get all their money back. And oh by the way, read this P.S and then the P.P.S, and if you have gall enough the P.P.P.S.  

And while some of the foregoing was written tongue in cheek, the basic elements are part of a highly lucrative formula employed by very highly paid professional copy writers. Now the formula needs to be refined and focused on your specific product and as in any art can take on many different forms.

The top coy writers command tens of thousands of dollars for a single sales letter, because good copy sells.  Now most home based entrepreneurs and small business people don't readily fork over such hefty sums of cash.  So they are forced to copy and make do with their own best efforts. For some that's not too difficult, but even the competent find that it can be an arduous and time consuming process.  But the payoff for a well written sales letter can easily be 4 to 8 times as effective as a poorly written one. And in many cases a poorly written letter will result in no sales at all.

Creating effective sales copy is just one component of the overall internet marketing process, but a critically important one.
