Words are magic, they will help you sell your products and services, make your potential buyer do certain actions, register to a newsletter, or refer customers for your business.

Pick with care the words you use, put them in the right context, and they will work for you. People are calling it copyrighting – a must have skill that any business owner, advertiser, marketer and everybody else should learn or improve.

Copywriting means writing text with the purpose of persuading a person or a group of people to take a particular action, usually to buy a product or a service.

This profession is one of the best paid in the world. There are companies that pay the very best copywriters with tens of thousands of dollars per project, and even more. Copywriters can make your business sell a few times more with their copy, this is magic, right?

How can YOU write texts that sell?

The easiest way to have a super sale text is to hire a top copywriter and pay him tons of money. But there is a huge downside. You will never learn copywriting.

You need to learn copywriting as this will help you in all situations – writing ads, writing product or service descriptions, writing emails (yes – copywriting will greatly help you write better emails too), and in your daily life.

So how can you write texts that sell? Actually, it is not that hard, you only need to study how copywriting works and adapt your text to a certain structure.

Copywriting structure that you can use right away

Use this basic copywriting structure when you are creating your text, it will help you keep in mind what you need to do.

• Hook

You only have a few seconds to catch your buyer’s attention.

Make him curious.

It is called the hook because it will make the buyer to further read. You’ve got him hooked when he spends time to see what is all about.

• Proof

Validate the information you provided with links, articles, or pictures.

• Common pains

Which are the common pains that your buyer has? Make a list of them.

• Introduce your product or service

Now it is the right moment to introduce your product or service to the buyer.

Show him that he can now solve all his common pains that you presented.

Write about all the benefits of your product or service.

• Payment and warranty

Until now, everything you wrote was a love story. Your buyer says in his mind yes, yes, yes, but now he sees that he needs to send you his hard-earned money.

Payment and warranty work extremely well together.

Think very well if you can use one of the following technics:

  • 30-day money back guarantee – no explanation needed
  • If you don’t get “THIS” done, we offer you 100% your money back.
  • You are not happy with the purchase? We refund you 100% and we let you keep the product.

When buyers see they can easily get their money back, they are much more open to make purchases and try products and services.

But be aware, if you put such clauses, be sure there will be people asking you for refunds.

What fonts should you use when writing texts that sell?

Fonts will play a major role in your copywriting.

You will need a powerful font for your headlines, and an easy to read font for the rest of your texts.
