Writing Content That Sells
Thanks for dropping by and checking out my Haiku Deck.
This Deck is a short summary based on my 37-page ebook "10 Secrets to Writing Marketing
Content that Sells."
Writing Content That Sells
Understand who your target audience is
What’s the key to getting more sales, social media shares and followers? Simple. Give people
exactly what they want!
Writing Content That Sells
Motivation to buy
We're motivated to buy things for different reasons. Your job here is to find out what
motivates people to buy your product. It can be different things, but you need to pick the
most important motivator in order to make a compelling case for your product.
Kids buy a football to have fun. You might buy new running shoes to stay healthy. I buy books
to gain knowledge and others play Clash of Clans for entertainment.
Writing Content That Sells
Talk benefits, not features
People didn't buy an iPod because it had 16GB of storage. They bought it because it holds up
to 3000 songs on the go. That's the benefit people got from a 16GB iPod.
Make a list of your product’s features and describe the benefit your audience gets from each
of those features.
Writing Content That Sells
Find your unique selling proposition
A unique selling proposition can be anything, but it’s up to you to find out what it is and take
advantage of it. Oreo is notorious for its twist, lick and dunk campaigns showing consumers
how they can eat the sandwich cookie and M&M came up with the “Melts in your mouth, not
your hand” tagline. So, what’s your USP?
Writing Content That Sells
Write naturally
The secret to getting your material read? Write as you normally talk in a conversation
Writing Content That Sells
Big words hardly impress people
Now this is awkward. Because I actually know Greek!
Using big words is a big no-no. Why? Because you're writing to communicate - not to impress
people with your knowledge of the English dictionary!
Writing Content That Sells
Content that doesn't get read is worthless!
Whether it's an article, blog post, press release or brochure - if a headline doesn't get people
to stop and read, your content gets sent into oblivion and remains unread.
Writing Content That Sells
Timeout!
Short sentences are much easier to read than long sentences. The contents of the sentence
is easily remembered. And more importantly, it retains much of its meaning.
A short sentence should contain one idea that helps readers fully grasp what you're trying to
say.
Writing Content That Sells
Easy reading!
A simple way to getting your content read is by breaking it down into shorter, more digestible
sections or paragraphs.
Large chunks of text with no break in sight are guaranteed to scare people away.
Writing Content That Sells
Encourage people to take the next step
The secret to converting those leads into tangible business benefits is to include an effective
call-to-action telling them exactly what to do next.
What’s my call-to-action? Skip over to the next slide :)
