The first rule of good copywriting for your website is to ensure that you use a direct tone when talking to your customer. If you can convince your reader that you are speaking directly to them rather than to a general audience, your words will be more drawing to them and will help convince them to buy your product.
Another great tip is to not dumb down your words, and also not fill them with jargon or buzzwords which they do not understand. Making your words clear and understandable will encourage your readers to keep on reading.
If you are sending mass emails to potential clients, a great tip is to use a tool which inserts their first name into the copy. There are any tools freely available on the internet which will help you do this, and it has been shown that this personalization is a great way to make sales.
It is important to engage your readers, while not overwhelming them with your message or totally missing the point. Remember to pepper your words with interesting facts about your product which will help readers make a buying decision.
It is important to keep your tone light, airy and friendly. Avoid writing in the third person, as this is too removed from the subject and will also lead your reader to believe that you may not be an expert on the subject.
There are many different styles of copywriting and each individual's style will vary from the next. In particular, when you are writing copy on the internet it is important to remember that your readers may judge you as an expert on the subject simply by the way you are talking to them. This can be a very powerful tool and you should use it to your advantage as much as possible.
Remember that first impressions count. If a visitor to your site does not find your copy engaging, it is likely that they will never return and you lose potential sales. So it is very important that you work on your style and play with your words so that your customer is compelled to buy without feeling as though they have been sold to.
