6 Point Outline for Writing Great Sales Copy

Want to know the essentials for a writing a long sales letter or landing page for an info product or teleseminar? These tips come from Laurie Weiss of EmpowermentSystems.com.

  1. Headlines that tell the outline of the story, for people who are in a hurry and like just the facts.
  2. Testimonials for people who want to know what others think about something to help them decide whether they might like it, too.
  3. Juicy gossip is for people who love stories. Most people who have read this letter say, "I didn’t know that about you."
  4. An explanation of why I am qualified to write such a program, for careful people who want to be sure I am trustworthy.
  5. Explanations for skeptical people who don’t know if the program will work for them.
  6. Special bonus offers to convince people that their investment will be well worth the price.

Of course, the value is in writing in a way that is authentic, interesting, emotional, friendly and respectful. So many sales pages I see follow this template but are so overly-hyped that they lose readers along the way.

Oh, another big turn-off for me is a long list of bonuses! This has been so over-used on the Internet. Quite frankly, I don’t want all those ‘free’ bonuses, who has time to even read them?
