How writing your web site copy could cost you $32,000
Rules, Traps and Delays

There are a myriad of rules and traps that can cause your web site copy writing efforts to bear little or no fruit. And you will spend much longer writing the words than a professional.
While our copy writing service may seem like an unnecessary expense, once you've been through the process of writing the copy yourself and experienced just how hard it is to get your readers to take action, you'll probably wonder how we do it so cost effectively.

Don't assume that because you're an expert in your field you can successfully write the words that will convince people to buy from you.
It took me 2 years to become a competent copy writer and about 4 years / 40 web sites to become really good at it (and I'm still learning after 12 years).

In our experience, when a client chooses to write copy themselves they usually add a delay of at least 3 months to the launch of their new web site. And afterwards we usually need to help them fine tune the copy to make it effective anyway.
3 months is usually a best case scenario. 5 or 6 months is typical and in some cases the launch has been delayed by 10 months because our client can not find time to write the copy - or struggles to put the words together.

Sales Tip

Selling a Service

You can't see "a Service" so how do you sell it?

Well, the first focus in service selling is of course "your service" 

A good place to start is to assume your service is lousy. That will then force you to make it better, irrespective of its initial position.

Also try the Advert writing test,  it goes like this:

Do you find it really difficult to write a good advert for the service you provide? If an ad that highlights a really good promise to your clients is difficult for you to write, then maybe your service needs fixing. 

If your best written advert is not working, stop trying to improve the ad, start improving your service.  The best ad in the world will not sell the worst service in the world  (does a certain cell phone company spring to anyone's mind ??)

The marketing of your service must not only focus on creating what your clients need or want, it must also focus on what they will truly "love".

We'll cover more next month on Selling your Service.....

Contact us and we'll show you how your web site can best Sell your Service  to your client base.
