How To Make The Online Sales Copy For Your Website More Conversational
|
|
It has been said that the best online sales copy is one that talks to your prospect as if you are in together in a conversation.
But for some of my subscribers to my newsletter, they find it difficult to accomplish. They say that it is hard to "talk on paper". How can this be? My guess is that the training in school did not provide much opportunity to practice on writing a conversational piece of work.
Another guess is that there are tons of articles by copywriting experts on writing screaming headlines but less help is available on how to make the rest of your sales copy sound conversational.
The solution that I propose is to speak to a recorder and have what is recorded transcribed. Having said that, here are 30 short phrases that can possibly help you connect ideas on your sales letter into one flowing conversation:
1. Are you kidding?
2. Just imagine?
3. What does this all mean for you?
4. Don't you agree?
5. The tip of the iceberg is?.
6. Here is what's in store for you?
7. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and relax. In the next 5 minutes, let me share with you?..
8. You need proof?
9. Think about it?.
10. The result after 2 weeks?
11. Having said that?
12. You may be asking?.
13. The reality is?.
14. Allow me to share my story?
15. Back to what I was saying?
16. Now, what was my first point about?
17. Hang on! Wait a minute!
18. Make no mistakes about this?
19. Still not convinced? How about I throw in a couple more freebies?
20. And the worst part is?.
21. And the best part is?.
22. Your eyes playing tricks on you? No, you read that right?
23. I dare say?
24. I assure you?.
25. Want to know a secret?
26. I've just let the cat out of the bag by sharing with you?..
27. It's amazing, isn't it?
28. Do you know what happenend?
29. And then?
30. Let me just recap quickly here?
If you find the above 30 phrases useful, I suggest you bookmark this article and any other great sales letters that you come across. Keep these pieces in a separate folder. Whenever you feel the need to, just open up this folder, lift these "conversational phrases" and inject them into your very own copy!

Orient Your First-time Web Site Visitor
Imagine spinning someone around so profoundly and for so long that when you finally tell them to open their eyes, they ask "Where am I?" not knowing if they are even on the same continent they started from. When someone comes to your web site from a search engine or through a link from another site, it's like that for them. They may have little or no context within which to understand your home page - or another page deep within your site that they've landed on.By imagining and engineering your site for that profoundly disoriented visitor, you can add subtle clues and explicit messages to your site that orient the person arriving at your site from who knows where. You can do this without "dumbing down" your presentation in any way, turnin...(related: Web Design)

Design Your Site For Your Customers
The most important person that you need to please when you design your site is your potential customer. I can not stress that enough.I have clients who have told me "I don't like this design or that one or I like these colours", etc. I want to please my customers so I try to create a design for them that they will be happy with, of course. But my clients don't often think of their site visitors or their own potential customers when they ask me to design their site. Sadly most are thinking primarily of one thing - how to make money from their website. And because their focus is on making money rather than pleasing their customers, more often than not, the website won't sell. And as much as I try to advise them on how they can improve the quality of the site, they stick to their own ideas of what the site should look like. T...(related: Web Design)
