Copywriting: Creating Messages That Get Optimum Results

Creating Messages That Get Optimum Results

Written by David Masachke

This is where repparttar

real meat of e-marketing begins. You have a list of hungry subscribers at your fingertips and now you need to convert them into customers. You want to send them repparttar 108018

best offer possible, presented in repparttar 108019

best possible light.

In order to accomplish this, you need to create effective sales copy.

Good copy includes many elements: voice and style, proper grammar, spelling and punctuation, emphasis on benefits and much more. Let's talk a bit about each of these.

Voice/Style

Your messages should sound professional without sounding "stuffy'.

You need to find your unique voice to connect with your subscribers. Pretend that you are sitting across repparttar 108020 table from a friend and write as if you were speaking to them (leaving out, of course, things like swear words or references to your personal life).

You should also keep close watch over pronoun usage. Talk directly to repparttar 108021 subscriber and avoid using repparttar 108022 word "I" as much as possible. Be personable, but not too personal.

English 101

We all make mistakes in our writing at times. Your subscribers will probably forgive you for a few gaffes. However, you don't want to send out horribly written messages. Always run your copy through a spell-checker. Brush up on your grammar and punctuation skills if you've gotten rusty.

Focus on Benefits

Never place your focus on selling repparttar 108023 product or its features alone. People want to know what repparttar 108024 product can do for them. For example: will it save them time? Will it save them money? Will it bring more love into their life?

Live Brainstorming Session

Written by Angelique van Engelen

In Berlin a restaurant opens for anorexics and in Buffalo a lawyer with a stutter wins a court case. When everything you're working on has gone stale and your own initially promising concepts are starting to annoy you, you need a brainstorming session to get to repparttar

missing bits or new ideas.

The papers provide ample ideas for jump starts. A stutterer in a court case or an anorexic going to a restaurant that has opened especially for them must have no problems with ideas to keep them going for at least two weeks after their memorable experiences.

Brainstorming is trix galore, right? Really, you're doing nothing new. Our mind plays on us all repparttar 108017 time, wherever we are, whatever we do. It thinks of a stutter as its rightful body. Or of repparttar 108018 numb anorexic craving as its self in top form.

The mind's always on a mission. Always. When faced with putting together a magazine-type product, a sales promotion concept, a new hype of some sort. It's repparttar 108019 mind, that comes up with everything.

When brainstorming, think of repparttar 108020 stutterer. At all cost, do NOT work on losing repparttar 108021 stutter if you wanna speak. It's only obstructing and keeping you from repparttar 108022 ideas labeled 'good' in repparttar 108023 recesses you're trying to access.

Material to work with? Anything, so long as it is not defined. Space for now. Goal to achieve? An arrival point.

Very often repparttar 108024 best ideas are repparttar 108025 ones born in repparttar 108026 early seconds of a session. Here at contentClix, we call it 'performance brainstorming'. Trust your instinct rather than repparttar 108027 treacherous mind and your first utterances prove most valuable.
