Somewhere along your path to higher education, you learned how to write paragraphs, stories and reports. Your teacher made sure you applied good English grammar, punctuation rules and conventions of editorial styling. You most likely apply these sensible language skills in your personal and business life. And you should. But for the Web, you want to forget most of what you learned in school when you are writing to sell.
For example, lengthy sentences are not needed. Although I often get caught up rambling on until one sentence is more of a paragraph. You want to write short sentences and put 3 to 5 of your short sentences in each paragraph. Too many words make your sales prospect weary and often cause your entire message to be sent to the trash before you've made your point. Result. No sale.
What you learned in the schoolhouse is referred to as strict language rules. You also find a form called permissive language rules.
That's why you want to make sure you check and double check the words you publish on your website and brochures. Make yourself a checklist and keep it handy when you review your messages. Words that have a high ROI require more than just the typical copywriting checklist.
A copywriting checklist is like a recipe. People want all the ingredients needed to fill up on a tasty meal. But with the changes going on with search engines, the rules for drawing visitors to a website may surprise many web owners who have -- up to now -- held top search engine rankings.
All you need to do is make sure your web copy delivers both from buyers and from search engines to get all the web traffic and sales conversions you can handle. Plus, publish persuasive printed brochures that draw leads, qualify prospects, help you close the sale... and build profits.
You want YOUR messages filled with powerful word pictures to help YOUR readers see, hear and practically touch the benefits you offer. Make every sentence build momentum, educate the reader and validate value received. Be sure to use keywords.
You want web copy writing so powerful that when response rolls into your inbox, you want to reach out, hug your computer and press your lips against the screen in sheer rapturous delight and joy. You want that feeling.
