Copywriting for a website is a task that carries with it the most important weight. The content on your website needs to help your site secure top rankings while at the same time conveying to your visitors the messages you want to relay.
Effective copywriting helps increase conversions by keeping clients on your site, differentiates you from your competition and gives you an edge with the search engines. Effective copywriting (also known as business writing) is any writing that sells a product, a service, or even a person. Effective copywriting tells your audience what they need to know to act and make a purchase or how to contact you for more information. Extraneous details clutter the minds of your audience, which increases the possibility of them forgetting the most important aspects of your advertisement or marketing program.
Sales copies make or break their marketing campaigns eventually. Therefore, they have to be given your best treatment and attention in creating them to achieve good results. Sales Letters can be short, one or two line advertizements, or thirty page websites. Either way, the objective is sales.
Powerful cover copy is like an irresistible invitation to look inside. Powerful copywriting can be a powerful element of design, and learning how to match the right copy to the right media is crucial to the success of your brand. To write great headline, remember---
*Direct approach. Talk about how the product or service can help them, solve their problem, or meet their need. Play on emotions here . Talk in terms of how what your product is / does will benefit your customer. When you get down to it, copywriting is really just common sense, put yourself in your customers shoes.
*Indirect approach. Get clever to hook customers.
*The journalist approach. Journalists creates, edits and presents information - not simply writes. Journalists know how to deliver and tell a story. This is largely what separates good writing from bad.
*How To . . ." Always keep in mind the "six Ws": Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. "How to" seems to work best of all for headlines. People love the promise of getting some new, free knowledge.
*Ask the reader a question. Asking a question to the readers/prospects can empathize with.
In doing the copywriting body, remember the following:
*The six Ws.
*The first sentence must be urgent, emotionally appealing, and full of a promise of solutions to come later on in the text.
*Your language throughout must be emotional and simple. Long words should be avoided.
*Back up assertions with facts. Always give justifications.
*Ask the reader what to buy.
Use these copywriting techniques to get and grab the readers attention.
