They’ve been hiding the truth about copy writing
Website copy writing is one of the most essential skills to have if you’re promoting anything online. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost. But forget everything you’ve been told about copywriting -it’s all wrong!
They say you need to hire a copy writer - they are wrong! Hiring a copywriter is the WORST thing that you can do. Even if grammatically correct, their copy will disappoint. It will be empty and lack that magic ingredient that your customers will love - YOU! Only you have the unique mix of knowledge, passion and experience that could create a special bond with your customers.
They say creating a great sales page is important - they are wrong! Creating great copy for your website is absolutely essential and goes far beyond the sales page. To build long term success you need fantastic content. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost.
They tell you that PLR copy is the answer - they are wrong! PLR (Private Label Rights) copy is dreadful. It’s the industrial approach to website content in which you can buy 100s of articles in one go.
They make it worse by making it seem a lot harder than it need be so that you go to them to write for you.
When have you ever heard a copywriter say “You know far more about your business then I ever will.” or “I’ll do this first one so you can do the rest.” That’s this secret conspiracy at work! I doubt that there’s an official HQ or conspiracy to bring together the copy writers and grammarians but it’s just as effective.
The answer is probably never because they don’t want you to know how to write, they don’t want you to realise that you are the best person to create your copy and they don’t want it to be quick and easy. Then they bill you. Not only do they bill you they then keep you in this trap so that you go back for more and more.
It’s time that you changed a few things and decided to create the compelling copy that the search engines and your customers will love. 1. Fire the copy writer - it is your opinions that count. 2. Answer your customer’s questions - By solving their problems they’ll come back for more. 3. Take control - only by taking ownership of all of your site including the content will you get the success you deserve.
