You want to get everything\u00a0right. You want copy so effective that your target audience just can&#8217;t help but buy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something a lot of people miss when it comes to writing copy&nbsp;is&nbsp;the most part of the whole process&nbsp;is the offer itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&nbsp;have the best sales copy ever, but if your&nbsp;offer isn&#8217;t good enough, then people may&nbsp;get all the way down to the bottom of your sales letter,&nbsp;but they won\u2019t&nbsp;buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, you might have horrible sales copy,&nbsp;downright painful to read, but still make sales&nbsp;anyway&nbsp;to those&nbsp;who&nbsp;bravely&nbsp;make it to the bottom and see how great&nbsp;your offer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bottom line: you want people to BUY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the perfect execution&nbsp;would be&nbsp;that your offer is so good,&nbsp;the rest of the copy is practically&nbsp;superfluous. You want people to see your offer and buy right away, without even looking at the sales page&nbsp;copy&nbsp;because they&nbsp;can\u2019t resist your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Does Your Offer Stack Up<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your offer so good that people won&#8217;t want to pass it up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s important to have great copy and to use the psychology of sales when writing&nbsp;copy. But, the real test is can your offer stand alone and still convert&nbsp;well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280.jpg\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-840 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280.jpg\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-840 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/business-3639463_1280-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about your current offer. Are people blown away&nbsp;when they see all they&#8217;re getting?&nbsp;Bonuses can add a great deal to the value of a product if well matched to the main offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to sell more high ticket products?&nbsp;Wow people with everything that\u2019s&nbsp;included&nbsp;in your offer. Add so much&nbsp;perceived&nbsp;value that it&#8217;s instantly visible&nbsp;that your offer is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also introduce scarcity to your offer to get people to take advantage of it. If your offer is in such limited supply that it will soon be completely gone, possibly forever, then many more people will take you up on that offer right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Countdown timers can be highly effective at establishing scarcity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two different kinds of countdown timers. The original form, a date based countdown where the timer runs out at a specific date and time are most commonly used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Countdown timers add highly visible scarcity to an offer. Prospective buyers can plainly see how long they have before the offer is gone, or the price goes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downside of the traditional countdown timer is the need to periodically reset the timer to keep your offer open. This can become interesting if you don\u2019t have alternate sales pages to display when your special offer ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An newer version of the countdown timer is called the evergreen &nbsp;countdown timer. Evergreen countdowns simply reset to the amount of time first shown when the time expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of the evergreen timer is that the visitor has no idea what kind of countdown timer they are looking at, so they have to treat it as if it were time and date based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up an evergreen countdown timer with a one hour countdown will promote people to take action right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280.png\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-841 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280.png\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-841 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280.png 1280w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/target-4257497_1280-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Your Irresistible Offer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the noise online these days you need your offer to really stand out from others to be noticed. One great way to do that is to&nbsp;personalize&nbsp;your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personalizing&nbsp;your offer will make it stand apart from everything else&nbsp;similar&nbsp;out there. Personalizing your offer&nbsp;might include a short&nbsp;personal coaching session, allowing them to create a custom package to suit their needs, and things of that nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a hard look at&nbsp;your current offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brainstorm about what enhancements might be appropriate for your niche. In some instances you may want to sell your offer at a super low price point&nbsp;and then pack it with value,&nbsp;more value than anyone else in your niche is providing. Look at this from the customers perspective. Look at what your competitors are doing, then raise the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The object of this is to convince the potential customer that there is no reason to buy any other offer except yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have figured this out and then incorporated that into&nbsp;an offer you&nbsp;will dramatically increase&nbsp;your conversion rates. This will work&nbsp;no matter what, even if you have crappy sales copy&nbsp;provided they understand the offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the&nbsp;offer&nbsp;itself, you can directly compare what others are offering to your offer&nbsp;within your sales copy.&nbsp;This&nbsp;will further drive home the value of your offer to&nbsp;people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Straight out tell them&nbsp;that no one else offers the same things&nbsp;you offer, especially&nbsp;for the small investment&nbsp;you offer it for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about ways to make your offer better&nbsp;than any other offer that\u2019s on the market.&nbsp;Then show&nbsp;your prospects how your offer is better than every other offer&nbsp;out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re&nbsp;writing copy for your&nbsp;offer&nbsp;include all the elements&nbsp;you would normally place in a sales letter,&nbsp;and don\u2019t forget to use the power of psychology&nbsp;and emotion in your sales copy. People like to rationalize a purchase logically, but the final determination on rather or not to purchase an offer is an emotional based decision for the majority of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your end goal should be to massively increase the conversion rate on&nbsp;&nbsp;your current sales copy and continue this for&nbsp;every bit&nbsp;of sales copy you write from there on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly optimize your conversions split test different versions&nbsp;against each other and use the variations that convert the best to fine hone your conversions. Changing the&nbsp;wording of a section&nbsp;to be clearer or placing emphasis on an emotional aspect&nbsp;can further boost your conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280.jpg\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-842 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"967\" src=\"https:\/\/stephenfbrown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280.jpg\" alt=\"your offer\" class=\"wp-image-842 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280-1024x774.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stephenbrownsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/sales-funnel-4318480_1280-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t make big changes. Concentrate on a paragraph or section at a time until you have optimized your entire sales letter. Yes, it can take some time to get it right. The benefits of having a high converting offer far outweigh the effort required to fine tune it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It Really Is All About <\/strong><strong>The Offer<\/strong><strong>\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say your current offer converts at 4{495e61a8be0728ba5e4172c16a68a1b05f8df91b32cf783b0a6ac5a97f0ba813} for $10. You get 1,000 visitors a day to your sales page giving you 40 sales a day for a total of $400 a day in revenue. Raising your conversion rate from 4{495e61a8be0728ba5e4172c16a68a1b05f8df91b32cf783b0a6ac5a97f0ba813} to just 5{495e61a8be0728ba5e4172c16a68a1b05f8df91b32cf783b0a6ac5a97f0ba813} will give you another 10 sales and $100 more profit. All for the same amount of traffic you had been getting. In a month, that&nbsp;adds up to 300 more sales, and $3,000 more revenue. In a Year\u2026<br>You get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see from the example above your&nbsp;offer can have an&nbsp;incredibly large impact on your income. If your offer is&nbsp;truly&nbsp;solid, then the sales are going to come no matter what. On the other hand, if your offer stinks or you\u2019re not able to&nbsp;frame it in the right way&nbsp;so that people understand what it is that they\u2019re getting, the sales will be few and far in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every component of your sales letter has an important role to play in the sales process.&nbsp;The headline really does&nbsp;matter on a sales letter. &nbsp;Purpose of your&nbsp;headline is to capture your visitor&#8217;s attention in the first place. Your headline&nbsp;should be a call out&nbsp;to&nbsp;your target audience. Other components&nbsp;such as&nbsp;the story and bullet points serve&nbsp;to keep people&#8217;s attention focused on your message and stir their emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduce the problem, hit on the pain it produces then offer them your solution.&nbsp;It\u2019s vital to keep the&nbsp;potential buyer&nbsp;focused on&nbsp;continuing&nbsp;down the page long enough to&nbsp;actually see&nbsp;your great&nbsp;offer&nbsp;You never&nbsp;want them to be so bored that they&nbsp;simply&nbsp;click away before getting to your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How good your offer really is what determines rather or not people will be&nbsp;clicking on that buy button and following through with their&nbsp;purchase.&nbsp;In the end, it\u2019s&nbsp;all about the offer. Get your offer right&nbsp;and everything else will just fall in&nbsp;place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you pay careful attention to your&nbsp;offer and dedicate yourself&nbsp;to&nbsp;tweaking your offer to perfection, then your conversion rates&nbsp;will explode&nbsp;and you will earn far&nbsp;more every single&nbsp;time&nbsp;you release&nbsp;a new&nbsp;product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on your&nbsp;offer, refine your&nbsp;offer, perfect your&nbsp;offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s the basic formula&nbsp;for&nbsp;creating effective offers.
