How
To Write A Killer Sales Letter
Write a Sales Letter ,If you try to make new friends just by
smiling at strangers, you might be in for a black eye! In the same light, try to win a customer with a description
of the product by itself, and you’re in for a period of bleak earnings. The painful fact is this: products don’t
sell themselves. They need that human touch to convince the prospective buyer that he needs to purchase the said
products, or they miss out on an advantageous opportunity. Sadly, persuading the potential buyer is made more
difficult if the business is being carried out online. It seems that the anonymity involved in online transactions
make people more hesitant about parting with their hard earned money. How does an Internet marketer go about in
selling his products then? It’s no secret that sales copies have become a must in this day and age. They have even
become the landing page of many web sites. The power of a good sales copy should never be underestimated. Sales
copies can convert a hesitant prospect into a successful sale. After all, a sales copy is what the visitor would
need to read to get more information about the product. The nature of sales copy is quite sensitive. One word can
win or lose a client. This is why many Internet marketers pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for a killer
sales letter. Most of the time, they hire a ghost-writer to the job for them. The problem here is that the
ghost-writer can only know so much about the product, hence, he could only write less than you. But guess what?
There is now a product that writes your headlines for you. Website HeadlineWizard really performs. This amazing new
software from David Watson will churn out thousands of killer headlines in any subject you want. "Get the headline
right, and you're half way there" Copywriting is a skill that you can learn, just like making the coffee! Below is
a step-by-step procedure, a formula if you will, on how to churn out those superbly effective sale pages that will
increase your conversion rate.
STEP 1: Write an attention grabbing HEADLINE. Please bear in mind that a headline is
composed of three parts: A. A line that would set up the main headline. B. Your main headline should be in the
biggest font size you’ll use in the entire copy. Preferably, it should be in a startlingly different color and in
bold. If your software allows this, it should always carry the tags. This also helps your search engine rankings. C. A line that would
elaborate on your main headline. Here is an illustration of a headline using this method: Do you want to gain
substantial earnings even while you’re sleeping? “AN AUTOMATED BUSINESS SOLUTION IS THE DIGITAL EQUIVALENT OF A
24/7 SECRETARY FOR YOUR ONLINE VENTURE!!!” Take And Deliver Orders Without Even Having To Log On To Your web
site!
STEP 2: Write an INTRODUCTION that your
readers can relate to. Always see the product from the customers point of view. You could do this by sharing a
problem that should be familiar with them.
STEP 3: Tell them who you are, publish
your photo, and share a list of your relevant accomplishments. This would help establish and brand your IDENTITY
and your CREDIBILITY. Many of your potential clients are wary about doing business online. By doing away with the
unwanted anonymity and by assuring them of your reliability, you’ll be able to help their fears go
away.
STEP 4: Offer your PRODUCT. Oh yes! You
have to do it here instead of earlier. The reason is that Internet users generally hate sales pitches. If your
headline is about the product itself, they might just switch to another site.
STEP 5: Assure your readers that the
PRODUCT IS EFFECTIVE. This can be done in two ways: A. Offer confirmable statistics that would support your
product’s needed usage. Show them your results. B. Present testimonials from other people that used your
product.
STEP 6: Explain the SPECIFICS OF YOUR
PRODUCT. But make sure that this part is not riddled with technical jargon. Explain your product’s details in a
colloquial way that anyone would be able to understand.
STEP 7: Tell your reader the reasons why
your PRODUCT SHALL BE BENEFICIAL to them. This step is crucial, as it is the point where you could transform the
potential client’s interest into a perceived need.
STEP 8: For that killer blow that would
make them feel that yours is the best deal in the planet, bundle your product with BONUSES, and inform your readers
of the corresponding VALUE for each freebie.
STEP 9: Test and tweak your sales page.
Always analyse the results and tweak the wording to gain maximum benefit. You can also submit your sales page to
the forums for feedback, this gives a valuable insight from a customers perspective.
STEP 10: Use a graphic buy now button,
like this one. Remember that a sales copy is that very integral component that bridges a page hit to a sale. By
following the steps we have outlined above, there is no doubt that your conversion rate would dramatically
increase! All you need to do now is to open your editor and write your sales letter! Get to it.
