Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords to promote your website, ebook or affilliate scheme you still need to create compelling adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost. But everything you’ve been told is 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 creating a great sales page is important - they are wrong! Creating great copy for your website is absolutely essential and goes far beyond the sales page. To build long term success you need fantastic content. 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.
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 make it worse by making it seem a lot harder than it need be so that you go to them to write for you.
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.
It’s time that you changed a few things and decided to create the compelling copy that the search engines and your customers will love. 1. Fire the copy writer - it is your opinions that count. 2. Answer your customer’s questions - By solving their problems they’ll come back for more. 3. Take control - only by taking ownership of all of your site including the content will you get the success you deserve.
