amazon.comFor copy to convince the consumer to buy the product, it must do four things: Get attention. Communicate. Persuade. Ask for a response.
If you can legitimately use the word free in your headline, do so. Free is one of the most powerful words in the copywriter’s vocabulary. Everybody wants to get something for free. Other powerful attention-getting words include how to, why, you, sale, quick, easy, bargain, last chance, guarantee, results, proven, and save.
Grade your performance as a copywriter on sales generated by your copy, not on originality.
When you write a headline, get attention by picking out an important customer benefit or concern and presenting it in a clear, bold, dramatic fashion. Avoid headlines and concepts that are cute, clever, and titillating but irrelevant. They may generate some hoopla, but they do not sell.
