"Selling Online - What's the ONE Secret
That Can Double or Triple Your Website Sales?"

How to Sell Online and Generate Way More Traffic and Sales

Which of the following describes you and your online selling ability?

I don't have a website yet, but I do know it's a waste of time and money to design one that won't sell.
I have a website, but it's not growing my business ... it's not bringing in the traffic and sales I thought it would.
I've already spent money on search engine optimization (SEO) to get more traffic to my site, but people still aren't finding me.
I'll admit it ... I have no clue how to get more traffic and make my website sell more.

If you checked one or more of the above, then it’s true

Your website and SEO copy is not written in a way that attracts your target audience and compels them to pull out their wallet. If it was, you could be pulling in 2 to 3 times more sales or more.

What most website owners don't know is that compelling web copy -- placed correctly to pre-sell traffic all the way to closing the sale and everywhere in between -- is the secret to selling online.

When you know the strategies and rules behind creating web copy that sells at every click point, you can build the online presence, credibility, and relationships required to get more traffic and keep prospects with you as you eliminate every obstacle standing in the way of a sale.

What if ... by the time you finish reading this article, you knew more than 99% of the population about what it takes to succeed in selling online - and that includes marketing professionals who build websites for a living! Keep reading and you'll get in on some of the most coveted secrets Web Copywriting Masters use to craft killer web copy that $ELLS.

I can assure you that most website owners are in the exact same predicament you are.

Why? Because very few people know how to create a lucrative online business.

The most important part of a website that sells is its copy, but the graphics, and search engine optimization must be executed properly if you expect to sell as much as possible.

Most people think they need glitzy graphics or a whiz-bang website to sell more. But side-by-side tests prove even the most expensive, eye-catching graphics and gizmos are not selling features on a website. In fact, they can actually decrease your site's selling power. This is certainly the wrong place to spend your money.

Many people also think they can just build a site using a free website template and they're good to go. Or they can just put up a site and people will come. Wrong! It's the content you put on your website and keep putting up all over the internet that matters.

If it's only one thing you need to remember from reading this article, it's this ...

The heart and soul of your website's selling power is in the copy you create to attract search engines and sell something like no other (even if it IS like many other products).

So how do you create compelling web copy that sells when there's so much competition?

Well to start with, let's just agree that most of us are not writers - let alone writers who understand how to write for the web using persuasion techniques and psychological triggers.

And though there are loads of copywriters skilled in writing offline copy, very few truly specialize in the craft of writing web copy that sells. Even fewer know what it takes to create an entire online business - not just a website - that will consistently bring you more customers, profits, and sales.

“As a manager who works in the direct marketing field myself, I can honestly say that Elin Bullmann is one of the very best sales copywriters I’ve ever read - Period!

It doesn’t matter what you’re selling … Elin knows how to create copy that will increase your internet sales dramatically

What I can tell you without a doubt is this...

There are certain immutable laws that must be strictly followed when writing compelling web copy; as well as creating web graphics, email campaigns, articles, and other online marketing communications to improve your sales and search engine rankings.

Unbeknownst to most people, there is a science to creating websites that sell ... with laws, rules, techniques, and coveted secrets that have been tested and proven since the internet began.

Most people are not privy to such information, let alone had years of honing these skills to get sure-fire results every time. So it’s no wonder most sites don’t sell much, if anything at all. However once these laws are followed, anyone can make money on the web – with mathematical certainty.

“When Elin said she could design, write, and optimize my site
for search engines - and that potential clients would not only find me but call to hire me just from reading my website, I was skeptical.

But within a few months, I was showing up #1 and #2 on searches for the keywords she identified for me, and now I'm getting new business from my website!

Calls are coming in from people who liked what they read on my site and learned about painting and the way I paint. Elin really knows selling on the web."

--Ben Siebel, owner, Ben Siebel Painting Co.


99% of website owners make these fatal mistakes...

What I'm about to tell you is not your everyday marketing information.

Remember when I promised you earlier that after reading this, you'll know more than 99% of the population about selling online? Well now I'm about to divulge some of the most coveted secrets to creating an online business that makes you money.

Of course I can't fill you in on every detail ... there's simply not enough room here. But the following are some of the most critical rules and strategies to follow.

Let's start with one of the questions that almost every new client asks me; which is, "Can't you just use the same headlines and words from my company brochure on my website?"

My answer? Absolutely not!

It is shocking to see how many businesses still think that they can just take their printed, offline marketing material and use it as web copy. Believe me, this strategy is doomed to fail from the start.

Why?

Because marketing on the web and marketing with a piece of paper you hold in your hand are two entirely different beasts. Studies clearly show that the offline reader interacts very differently with the written word than the online reader.

Since people buy on emotion,
you've got to rivet them with compelling web copy

Another unwritten law you must know is that emotion sells.

Remember this: People buy on emotion and justify with logic.

You won't sell a thing unless you can appeal to an emotion. It's those websites that are skillfully written with emotional right-brain words instead of rational left-brain words that close way more sales.

Most people clearly don't understand this rule because I see thousands of commercial websites drenched in “corporate speak." Corporate speak is jargon and technical language that is commonly used in the business world, but rarely communicates anything to anyone outside of a particular industry - or says anything clearly to those who work directly in that industry!. 

In other words, most of the readers will take nothing away from these sites ... let alone buy! Talk about blowing an opportunity to sell to the masses!

Then there are those sites that are so blandly written, readers have to force themselves to stay on the site to see if it offers anything that's worth their time.

The truth is ... web readers are simply not that patient! They'll click away within seconds ... and most likely never return! Unless...

Unless your website involves them, speaks to their needs (not yours), and convinces them through compelling copy that they have found exactly what they're looking for. When it doesn't, you won't close as many sales as you could.

So what are readers looking for when they visit your site?

They're looking for information. Period. And if they don't find it fast, they're gone. When you don't compel them to continue reading, they won't.

This is another big-time law of selling on the web. Plain and simple ... your prospects and customers will stay on your site only if it gives them the information they're looking for. You've got to catch them within seconds. That means your headline must draw them in and paragraph after paragraph must give them compelling reasons to stay on your site.

You must convince them that you understand their problem, predicament, or pain right off the bat ... or they won't continue reading. The information will only be consumed by them when it personally resonates with them, their problem, frame of mind, and their emotions.

And for sure they don't want to be sold to.

Even if website visitors are in fact looking to buy something, they don’t want to feel like products are being shoved in their faces. They want to feel like you're having a friendly conversation with them; like you understand their issues, and can help. They want to be finessed.

In other words, DON'T MAKE YOUR WEBSITE LOOK OR READ LIKE AN AD!

David Ogilvy, legendary advertising guru, sums this law up perfectly …

 

“There is no law which says that ads have to look like ads. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract more readers. Roughly six times as many people will read an article over an advertisement.”

--David Ogilvy, “On Advertising”


What David Olgilvy just said above is absolutely true for selling online too. I'm sure by now you're realizing that your copy is king.

In addition to using dozens of different persuasion techniques and involvement devices, your site must be written with emotion and like you're having a one-on-one conversation with your prospect or customer. These proven strategies are the best way - the only way - to engage your readers in a trusting tone without being aggressive or getting in their face with an obvious sales pitch.

There's one little (but extremely critical) thing to remember when determining how to use the power of editorial copywriting - which is often synonymous with this long, direct-response style of copywriting that you're reading right now.

That is...

One size does NOT fit all!

That means you have to adjust the copy to align with the unique product, service, and company's character or "personality."

If you don't, your site will come off feeling misleading or not believable to your target audience.

Are you starting to see how many critical factors go into creating a website that sells?

There are actually 5 parts to the "framework" of a website that sells. (Earlier I gave you the first part, which is to convince your reader that you understand their problem, predicament, or pain). The other parts include telling them how it could be when they have your product and service, and what's so different now that allows them to solve their problem when before they couldn't ... until you came along!

In addition to the immutable laws you must follow, there are also many powerful techniques that a Certified Web Copywriting Master like me uses when writing web copy. (By the way, did you know there are only a few dozen Certified Web Copywriting Masters in the United States?! It's true.

As a Certified Web Copywriting Master, I can tell you that you will attract way more traffic and sell more when you: 1) write copy using involvement devices, psychological motivators, embedded commands, and other Neurolinguistic Programming Language (NLP - the science of how the brain codes language), and 2) make sure your "golden keyword" and next-best mix of 4 to 5 supporting keywords are placed where search engines are expecting them to be and in the proper density ratio.

WARNING: The use of persuasion devices, techniques, and keywords must be fully understood and skillfully placed to capture customers more likely to buy - but avoid being questioned by them or damaging to your credibility. These tactics "fly under your reader's radar" and should never be abused.

advertising rules of editorial
copywriting can help you
sell more online

Are you ready to make more money?

I’ll let you know right up front that turning your website into a traffic-generating sales machine will require you to think differently about marketing your product or service and how you write copy on your site and elsewhere to generate "inbound marketing." But don’t be intimidated... 

When you have a Certified Web Copywriting Master such as myself guiding you step by step, you too can learn how headlines, copy, keywords, graphics, and online marketing communications interact and leverage each other to optimize your website's selling power -- you can get in on the secret to creating more traffic and sales than you ever thought possible..

Here's the 1st step ...

I'm going to make it easy and risk-free to take the first step toward a website that sells with a *FREE GIFT*

Get a complimentary evaluation of your website's quotient! (Retail value: $197). That is, your website selling power or selling ability.

I'll do a complete evaluation of your website using a mathematical formula that measures its selling quotient. That means you’ll know, on a scale of 1 – 100, where your website falls on it's selling power. I can also tell you exactly where your site falls short on selling power and which elements might be helping your sales.

Just think … by the end of this day, you could know exactly why your website is not selling as much as you’d like it to. And ... in just a few weeks … your website could be up and running with the most powerful selling techniques that will make your customers click, call, register, or buy your product or service.

Take this critical, risk-free first step. Simply email me your website address at elin@thewriteeffect.com, and I’ll email you back with a calculated score between 1-100 that represents your site’s "selling strength," plus a tip or two about online marketing.

"I appreciate how you took the time to truly understand my website project
and target audience. That’s rare these days. After spending big $$$ with
big companies, I wish I had found you sooner!"

--Bob Grant, author and online business owner, RelationshipHeadquarters.com


The beauty of this formula that measures how well your site can sell is that even if it gets a
low score, I know exactly how to create or adjust your content to get as close as possible to
100% selling strength
.

Regardless of whether or not you decide to use me for web copywriting, design, online marketing communications, or search engine optimization, at least stop that nagging itch to know why - with mathematical certainty - your website is not making as much money as you wish it wo
uld.

 


You can also discover what your website needs to:

Stop your readers dead in their tracks...
Glue them to your website...
Convince them that they must have your product or service to
solve their problem or fulfill their need - instead of your competitors...
Build a trusting relationship with them over time - automatically...
Close more sales...
Attract search engines to your site and reach your exact target audience...

When you email me your domain name (elin@thewriteeffect.com) for this free evaluation, you'll understand more about how you can convert more prospects into paying customers. If you’re not satisfied with the new information that you learn, then just walk away! There’s absolutely no obligation.

I’m sure that as you’re reading this now, you realize that you cannot afford to waste another minute on a website that doesn't sell for you. I don’t have to tell you that when you don't tap into the incredible power of the internet to reach over 4 billion prospects that could be new paying customers, then you miss one of your biggest business opportunities.

"There's *no* way we could have written what you produced!
You were able to quickly understand what we do, what our product is, and write it in a way that sells to our market. Bravo!

And by the way, this is the first positive experience
I've had with our website project.”

I am very impressed with the quality of your work. I gave you very little direction for our web pages and you were able to do the research and craft the copy as if you had worked in my industry for years

You quickly grasped hard-to-understand content incredibly well even though you are not a clinician. I was especially impressed with how you synthesized the research and presented it in a compelling way that the public can understand. You really know how to grab the attention of our audience and move them to respond.
