How to Write a Copy that Sells OVERVIEW

How to write a copy that sells is a book which will teach you how to sell things without being salesy.  It is really difficult task and it’s an art which every businessman need to learn.

Ray also promotes the idea of pay it forward in business also.  In most of the tips shared by Ray, you will find Ray guiding his readers first to py forward.

Pay it forward, be always helpful to your audience.   The book is very easy to read and interesting that once you start to read, it’s really difficult to stop.

In the introduction, Ray says that he wrote this book to save time and money.  Ray also gives warning to his readers which I want to put in Rays; Own Words.

The information supplied in this book is extremely powerful. It gives you the ability to literally manipulate people’s thinking and actions.  The ability to write good copy is one of the most powerful psychological tools of persuasion known to man.  If you purchase this book. I hope you’ll make the commitment to using these powerful persuasion tools only for the ultimate good of your customers.  Never use these techniques to manipulate or control people to act against their own best interest.”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

How to Write a Copy that Sells is very beneficial to anyone who wants to write.  I like the way he easily explains the whole procedure of writing.

He gives a simple formula of P.A.S.T.O.R. which anybody can apply and improve his own styling.  What is P.A.S.T.O.R?

P = person, problem or pain

A = Amplify

S= Story or Solution

T= Transformation and Testimony

O = Offer

R= Response

Now if you apply these six parameters to each of your content it will be very easy to create quality content.

For e.g. By applying this formula, first, you can take a person or the problem he is facing, adding a little dimension to this story, tell this in the form of a story to readers, next add the transformation that happened, after that you can give your offer(product) a CTA, and ask for response from the audience.

By taking the same formula you can also take a person’s pain point, amplify it, here give him a solution, add a testimony, now give him offer of your recommendation (product), and now ask for the response/ comments from your audience.

I think it is one of the simplest formulae to write any piece of content which one can easily apply to.

WHO IS THE How to Write a Copy that Sells FOR AND WHO WILL IT BENEFIT?

How to Write a Copy that Sells is a book for anyone who wants to create content.  Content not necessarily only mean a blog post or article.  Content can be an e-book, an audio file, a podcast.

The arena of the value is not limited to but also can be very useful to radio commercials, TV commercials, Direct Mail Pieces, One Sheet, Fliers, Brochures, Billboards, music-on-hold scripts, training materials, corporate policies and procedures, website copy, email marketing campaigns etc.

In the digital media world, we all know how important it is to write a good sales letter and eye-catching headlines.

Even if you have written great content, but fail to create an eye-catching headline, most probably readers will not read your article, because it is important to catch the viewer’s attention by writing a catchy and attractive headline.

Ray has provided the solution to writing great headlines which includes 5 qualities of compelling headlines.  These 5 qualities are as follows:

1.Grab Attention

2. Screens and Qualifies Prospects

3. Draws Readers into the Body Copy

4. Communicating the Big Idea

5. Establishes Credibility

I think with these 5 points, anyone can create catchy headlines.

Today Email Marketing is the most used and most popular form of communication with readers and Ray makes it easy by giving how to write persuasive emails.  Some of the main points of how to write emails are:

• Use email marketing to build permission-based lists.
• Use a reputable delivery service.
• Give Web Visitor Reasons to Opt-In, and Set Their Expectations Properly.
• Avoid Span Complaints with Frequent, Consistent Mailings.
• Use Autoresponders as Robotic Saes Agents.
• Give People an Unusually Great Reason to Opt-In.
• Give People Great Reasons to Stay On Your List.

Today, we all know how important is to have an email list but I think these guidelines will be really helpful to write good emails.

Some of which I like the most is Give people an unusually great reason to opt-in and to stay on your list.  Generally what we see is that people offer a PDF or e-book as a lead. But we all know that we do not prefer an ebook or PDF download to our computer.

So I think we all must think about this valuable suggestion by Ray, also he mentions that it is equally important to keep providing value to these emails so that the prospect remains on our email list.  Also, he mentions that it is important to start every email with some undeniable facts.

It is also important to write emails like a friend writing a letter, it simply means that email should be written in a very friendly tone, avoiding any technical or rigid language which will be difficult to understand to your readers.  Also it is very easy to connect with your audience if you use a friendly tone.  Ray has given a ton of tips on each subject, which you should read directly from the book.
