5. Make sure each page sells. - each page should emphasize benefits in headline, to pull reader into contents of your page. It should ask question:
What’s in it for me? Why should I spend my precious time reading this page?
6. Write as if you were talking to your friend - your copy should be conversational, friendly and personal, as if you are sitting next to person. Write from viewpoint of what your customer wants to buy, not what you want to sell.
7. Deliver contents in a clear, crisp way - be careful not to stray from central purpose of what you promised in headline. Make sure your customer wants to click through to next page or your order page. Don't be afraid of clearly stating price of your product.
