1. Develop a great attention getting headline. You have to grab an individuals attention in order to communicate your message to them. That all starts with your headline. You must promise something to the person reading your headline. Tell the reader what goal you are going to help them achieve or what problem you are going to help them solve.
2. Start your copy with something informative or educational. People are searching for information on a particular subject, not to be sold something directly. Your focus must be to inform people by telling them what they need to do and then lead them to your product or service as the solution.
3. Write your copy as you would talk to an individual face to face. Write in a conversational tone and direct it at just one person. If you can record a conversation of your draft copy it will help you refine it and make it more effective.
4. Here’s one that is a big problem for many people. We are so self focused that our copy is full of “I” and not enough “YOU.” The person reading your copy does not really care about you but only cares about what you can do for them. Make sure you tell them clearly.
5. Break up your copy with white space. Just like this article, break up your message into small bite size pieces. Keep each sentence short and limited to one thought. This allows your copy to be scanned quickly and helps the reader determine if they want to read it thoroughly.
6. Make sure you give the reader all the benefits. You want to clearly communicate what benefits the reader will realize if they continue their relationship with you. The more benefits you can describe, the more likely your reader will want to do business with you.
7. Close your copy with a specific action for the reader to take. Remember that this is the whole point of your copy! What do you want the person to do next? Ask for more information? Download your free report? Subscribe to your newsletter? Tell the reader one specific action to take next.
