Sell on emotion but justify the purchase with logic. If you want to improve your conversion, it is crucial to understand the elements of copywriting. A good copy is like a virtual salesperson promoting and selling your services (and products) 24/7, 365 days a year, for free.
This article will give you a nutshell of the copywriting framework.
But first, let me explain what Copywriting is.
Copywriting is writing a persuasive or informative script (or Text) that subtly sells your Offer, services, and products to your target market. Think of it as a mini-sales presentation transcribed into words and doing the selling on your behalf.
Here are three Tips for good copywriting.
1. Avoid Cliche A.I generated Copies..
Whilst Copywriting software (A.I) is sprouting the internet with affordable subscription plans, getting your copies written fast is now easy.
A.I.-generated copies are great for speed and implementation; however, if you ignore the details, the output may sound generic and cliché. And if it slips into your marketing campaign, it might negatively affect your branding.
We recommend you use Copywriting A.I. software to serve as a content base for the human writer to make the necessary edit and revisions before posting it online.
Be warned that some Copywriters also use A.I. to produce templated copies and swap and replace Titles & subheadings to deliver your finished Copy.
2. Avoid the “cut and paste” Copies.
Have you seen two identical Facebook Ads by two different sellers with an almost identical writing styles? The only things that were different were the claimed monetary figures.
You can only witness this in action if you have two competitors targeting the same audience – you.
There are Copywriters in the marketplace who sell time-tested copies they had purchased (or developed) a series of Swipe Files and on-sell them to you.
Their success template may work for some industries or be a disaster for some business owners. This strategy only works well if the copywriting style fits your business model; if so, you’ll hit the jackpot and score. But if it doesn’t blend well, it will appear outlandish as it failed to resonate with your brand.
As a result, you just shot yourself in the foot as you paid for some Copies that sound great in writing, but your brand couldn’t blend well with the ears.
3. Find a Competent Copywriter
As obvious as it sounds, not all copywriters are created equal.
Some learnt copywriting through a three-day online crash course, and a few mastered the art of linguistics.
A good Copywriter can be challenging to find: the great writers are beyond your reach (in fees); the good writers are already retained by loyal clients, and the entry writers are asking for market price. It is tango to find a suitable copywriter. But if they can bring in the sales, it can pay off.
Depending on your luck and budget, you might only attract a mid-tier copywriter who captures only 50-70% of what YOU wish to communicate.
