1. Headlines that make guarantees and demand focus

In the event that you don’t nail the headline (the single most important portion of your sales letter), no one will stick around for the remainder. Your headline must pre-qualify the reader based on their demands and wants, as well as promise them an intriguing result if they’ll stick around and read what comes next.

If you want to get great at this, practice. If you’re not cultivating a headline grabbing your attention with each blog post you write, then you need to begin now.

2. Opening paragraphs that promise and convince

Presuming your headline piques your readers’ curiosity, you then need to lead readers to a psychological obligation to read every word of your copy. You can certainly do it by creating rapport using those initial paragraphs to draw them in, and expanding on the promise you made in the headline.

This is where to get specific about what your readers are going to learn. Most significant of all, let them understand that knowledge will get them closer to their desired outcome.

There’s a reason opening paragraphs are frequently called “teasers”; they’re meant to show only enough to make the reader want to see more.

Continue to help your reader understand they’re in the right place (and that there’s hot knowledge to be obtained by scrolling down), and they’ll keep reading all the way to the very end.

3. Stories that show the reasons behind the offer

The expression “Words that are old tell stories that sell,” is 100% true; individuals become emotionally to copy that tells a story. You’ll do well to develop a powerful (and true, of course!) Backstory to why the offer you’re making came into existence, because that pulls the reader into your copy on a deeper level.

We all wish to see the way the narrative unfolds and that’s precisely why so many successful sales pages comprise transformative narratives about the product’s writer (or the people the writer has helped). The reader wants a consequence via your offer, and they’ll pay careful attention to storylines that involve that result coming to pass.

Subsequently revisit some sales pages you’ve seen before, if you’re not a natural storyteller and read them with an eye for story. You’ll be surprised how you see great writers work these seamlessly in their copy.

4. Detail credibility that cultivates connection

Many sales letters comprise a “Who am I and why should you listen to me?” section intended to build credibility (and more backstory) about the writer. You can unquestionably emulate this straight-to-the-point delivery, but there are other ways of achieving the same outcome with more subtlety.

Let’s go back to the storyline, this is the ideal place to weave in the writer’s history, the credentials the results, along with the reasons that make that Lightworker the perfect pick for fulfilling the reader’s needs.

Readers purchase from those they enjoy and trust. Pepper your copy with details that make the author an authoritative and intriguing source, and the overall message becomes much more convincing.

5. Subheads that stop scrollers and make reading simple

Strong subheadings serve two powerful functions in a high-conversion sales letter.

They make it simple for the reader to know why they need to read the section of text below. Basically, they entice the reader to keep going with headlines designed to set up a guarantee.

For every single text block in your sales letter, ask yourself – should anyone read this and interpret the answer into a convincing sub-head? Revisit site posts you adored reading, and watch the way the author kept you hooked with solid subheadings.

The second goal of subheads is to communicate such an attention-getting promise that the people who “scroll and skim” stop in their own tracks and say “read this and I’ve got to return.”

Don’t let a subhead into your sales letter without first asking if it’s “stop-worthy.”

6. Tension-reducing testimonials

Most people treat testimonials as an exercise in stroking the writer’s ego but, readers don’t care about that. They care about their very own difficulties (and specifically, getting them solved) and they care about the objections they have when they contemplate clicking that “book now” button.

They’re going to be thinking things like:

• “Will this work for my situation?”
• “Is this going to be overly challenging?”
• “Will I have time for this?
• “What if I need to return this?”
• “Can I trust this person?”

Take a look at your testimonials and ask if they’re doing their job. Otherwise, you know what to do.

7. Evidence your products or services really function

If “the proof of the pudding is in the eating, you need to have some full bellies to demonstrate to your soon-to-be-customers. Walk them through specific cases of the way the service worked for you (which incidentally, you can easily do by weaving these elements into your story).

In case you have customers on hand with success stories, here’s where you work these in as well by taking special attention to place the outcomes in ways that reduces customer anxiety. Look for ways that previous customers could get results despite the obstacles, setbacks, or circumstances your new customers are likely to worry about. Then use those examples to demonstrate how your new prospects can do it too.

8. An offer they can’t reject

Remember, you’re selling more than just a good or service — you’re selling options, results, and encounters. Break out every detail of what your product does for them and get quite specific as to how much each gain is worth — financially and emotionally. Paint a clear picture of everything they’re getting until your readers are filled with the awareness see pile value upon value.

9. Risk-free surroundings

Individuals are terrified of being oversold, conned, and taken advantage of on the internet, especially when it comes to Psychics so, their shields are up when it comes to trusting what you say. That’s why it’s such a great notion to provide a powerful guarantee that takes all the load of danger off of their shoulders.

It’s called “risk reversal and it’s easy to do. Just offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee, if they don’t, let them get their cash back and never make refunds hard; the goodwill you create from being a no-hassle provider is worth any cost of yields.

Of course there are some exceptions, like when a yield is really expensive to you (for instance, for a physical product), you might need to set some guidelines on returns so you don’t get taken advantage of.

10. Include a call to action that gets your “book” button clicked

All good things must come to a end and you have a need for a strong call to action when your sales message does the same. Remind your customer what gains they’ll receive and the pain and inconveniences that will go away when they purchase your products or services.

Once you’ve done that, ask them explicitly to purchase. Not doing so will cost you conversions, and it’s an easy mistake to make because we can be hesitant to request things. You don’t have to do the “hard sell” here, simply invite them to book with you, buy or download.

And that “P.S.” that’s such a sales letter platitude? Works like a charm.

When people get to the end of your letter, all their ongoing objections get put on one end of the scale, along with your price tag on the other. Here’s your opportunity to tactfully let them know that they have the chance to get the advantages they want, and solve their problems in precisely the same time.
