Ask any successful business owner what is the most important
business skill that an aspiring entrepreneur or Internet
marketer can possess and I?ll bet you?ll hear one resounding
answer over and over again.
Copywriting. Copywriting. Copywriting.
The ability to write winning ads and sales letters is your
greatest business asset.
Nothing converts browsers into eager buyers like great
copywriting.
In fact, copywriting has even been called ?salesmanship in
print.?
In this article, I?ll share with you five key reasons why
copywriting is widely regarded as your most important business
skill.
1. Great Copywriting builds a trusting relationship with your
target market. Your ultimate goal in business should be to form
a lasting relationship with your customers or clients. In order
to build a trusting relationship with your customers it?s vital
that you make your target audience feel comfortable. Great
copywriting quickly sets your prospects at ease. You immediately
show them that you are someone that they can trust. The bond of
trust that you create could potentially be rewarded with repeat
sales for years to come.
2. Great Copywriting reveals your keen understanding
of your target market. One sure sign of great copywriting is the
ability to closely identify with your target market and clearly
express your concern for their needs and desires. Before selling
anything, you need to reassure your prospects that you are well
acquainted with their needs and have answers to offer them.
Communicate through your writing that you don?t just have
products to sell but solutions to their problems. By becoming a
true problem solver instead of just another salesman you?ll
never lack eager customers who are willing and ready to do
business with you.
3. Great Copywriting grabs your readers? attention and refuses
to let them go until they read every single word. The best way
to capture your prospects? attention is by starting your ad or
sales letter with a strong, benefit-packed headline. It?s a
proven fact that a great headline can actually increase the
responsiveness of your ad or sales letter by up 1700%! Use your
headline to immediately tell your prospective customer the
number one benefit that he/she will gain from your product.
Reveal every possible benefit so customers will be anxious to
buy from you. Offer benefits that give you the edge over your
competition and keep readers glued to your sales copy until they
read every word.
4. Great Copywriting demands immediate action from every
potential customer. Great copywriting helps your prospects to
see that they really need to purchase your product or service
right away because it truly is the solution to their problems.
It gives people a compelling reason to buy from you. Paint a
picture for your readers of exactly what they?ll miss if they
don't purchase your product then contrast it to how much better
life will be after purchasing your product or service. First
explain the problems that will continue to exist for them, how
much money will they lose, or the type of frustration will they
continue to endure without your product or service. Then
describe the peace, happiness, savings, sense of accomplishment
or relief they will experience after investing in your products
or services.
5. Great Copywriting stands the test of time. Ever notice how
so many examples of great as and sales letters were written,
literally in many cases, over a hundred years ago. The works of
master copywriters such as Claude C. Hopkins (?Scientific
Advertising?), Robert Collier (?Million Dollar Sales Letters?)
and Wallace D. Wattles (?The Science of Getting Rich?) have
stood the test of time. Many of today?s copywriters have modeled
themselves after these geniuses because they?ve shown us that
great copywriting always stands the test of time. Why? The
reason why is as simple as understanding human nature. Great
copywriting always appeals to the needs and desires of a chosen
group of people. Despite all the technological advances over the
past 100 years, humans basically have not changed. We all want
to be loved, we want to be successful, we want to be healthy and
we want to make more money. The legends of copywriting that I
listed above understood this and appealed to those desires and
their works are now considered examples of great copywriting.
After reading this article I hope you?ve gained more information
and insight into why copywriting is your most critical business
skill. Brush up on your copywriting and see how quickly you
start turning your ads and sales letters into your personal
sales machines.
