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 a copy writer - they are wrong! Using a copywriter would spell disaster for your website! Their copy would be hollow and empty. Although punctuation perfect it would lack all your knowledge and passion that makes you unique and interesting.
They say your writing will never be professional - they are wrong! Professionals use writing tricks and tools that you can learn use in your own writing that same day.
They say you can't write - they are wrong! If you're struggling with writing content for your website, finding writing a business report a nightmare or would love to create a newsletter but don't know how to start then don't worry - it's not your fault! There is a silent conspiracy working against you and it means that "they" make money because you can't write as you would want to.
They don't want you to know how to write so that you keep going back to them.
They are the mix of copy writers, dusty academics, and grammarians that like to feel superior. These pencil heads relish in pointing out mistakes we make and undermining us so we never learn. It may not even be an official conspiracy with an evil mastermind in a secret HQ but it's still as effective. When have you ever heard a copywriter say "No, you should be writing this instead" or "You have the knowledge and passion that I can't match"?
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.
Here instead are four rules for creating great website content that both your human visitors and the search engines will love. 1. Don't hire a copy writer - it is your voice and opinions that your customer wants to hear. 2. Create a unique bond - use your passion, knowledge and experience to build a unique trust between you and your customer. 3. Deal with their issues - By tackling their issues, fears and frustrations you can actually change your customers into rapid fans. 4. Finally, the biggest one - solve their problems and they'll come back for more.
