Write Copy That Sells But Not Sleazy
How you can sell more products and make more money.
Selling should not be sleazy. Great ad copy that sells millions and makes the reader and audience say, “I have got to have this.” That’s how you sell so that the customer is a raving fan.
Many teach dodgy, slimy, and super aggressive sales tactics. Obviously that works too, that kind of selling leave a nasty taste for the customer. And it doesn’t work for most people who need to sell their products, coaching and services.
Aggressive and manipulative sell is the style I originally learned from the biggest old school marketers in the world, but it never felt right to me. No matter how much I tried, I didn’t like it and I didn’t sell well like that because it was authentic for me.
Then I decided to throw out all the aggressive sales tactics and find a way to sell without being salesy.
That’s when everything changed.
That’s when I started to sell products and programs like hot cakes.
Most coaches to make enough money to earn a good living because they don’t know how to connect with an audience that makes them want to buy a coaching program.
Most home based online business start-ups never earn money because they never learn how to sell.
Why? Because it is not authentic and in alignment with who they are.
The funny thing is that most of us are natural born selling machines. We have been since we were children. But then as adults, you “try” to sell things and can’t. Why is that?
Because you are trying to sell in an artificial way that is not congruent in who you are. . When you should really be doing what you’ve always done. Connect and inspire.
When you were a child, and you wanted an ice cream, most of the time you got what you wanted. You asked nicely. Then you’d asked with excitement, then you were more direct and demanding, and if necessary, you threw a temper tantrum. Tantrums work for kids by don’t well in the business world, so don’t that.
Depending on the parent, you persuaded differently. My daughter asks me in a sweet daddy’s princess voice. But to her mom, she is less delicate. If she talks to me like she talks to her mom, she gets a quick no, that is final. And often a lecture about how to communicate. But when my teen daughter smiles and says sweetly, “Daddy, can we eat sushi tonight? I am craving sushi.” I almost always say yes.
Obviously, there are different styles of selling. The one that will work for you is the one that is most aligned with who you are naturally. Of course, you have to adapt to your audience but still being authentic.
Don’t believe that hype.
Most people are afraid to sell because they feel like it will make them a slimy sales person. But it doesn’t have to. You can still sell millions of dollars of products, programs and coaching and stay true to who you are and who you want to be.
In fact, you shouldn’t sell.
How do you sell without selling?
Connect, educate, and inspire. We all love to buy things. Most people crave to buy things, so help them understand why your product, coaching program, service is what they need because it will transform their life.
You have to share with them how their life will be better because they bought you make-up product, nutrition supplement, or buy your book, widget, or online program.
Within weeks, my kickstarter promotion for my Dream Big Life Planner, landed in the top 10 of all kickstarter for month of November selling almost $80,000 in journals in 30 days.
My program Instant Manifestation Secrets, sold over $500,000 in just a few months. That’s over a half million dollars of a digital product with little overhead. It also went on to generate continued revenue pushing the number over one million dollars and it keeps producing money like an endless cash machine.
My current product, Miracle Money Magnets, is likely to earn over a million dollars in the first few months.
All this with no hard selling, no slimy sales tactics, no empty promises. I simply share a shared idea, educate about the problem and how to solve it, and then offer the product that solves a problem.
It’s that simple.
Of course there are techniques and strategies, but don’t overcomplicate it. When you over complicate things, you sell less. Way less.
Key thing you must do in your sales copy.
Sell the vacation, not the plane ride.
If I told you …
You are going to go on the most amazing dream vacation of your life. We have to wake at 4am after packing all night after only sleeping for a few hours. We will get to the airport 2–3 hours early, wait in several lines for what seems like hours and actually is, take off our shoes and have our body scanned as we go through security.
Then wait for a plane to be cow cattled into an over crowded plane for 17 hours and then go through immigration in a language you don’t understand so that you feel like a criminal. Then get loaded into a smelly taxi with an insane driver that makes your life flash before your eyes. And that is just to get to your vacation.
If you were told all the details, you’d never want to go on vacation again. And yet, this is what most people do when they are new to selling. Way too many unimportant details that actually loses sales and scare people away.
Now read this and see the difference.
Even if you’re a well-seasoned traveler, this will be the best vacation of your life. From the moment you open the door to your oversized suite, you immediately see the beach through the wall-to-wall windows that lead to your beach front balcony. The crystal blue water is so close to your balcony you can almost touch it and you can listen to the waves lull you to sleep and wake you in the morning.
Meditate with us on the beach led by our in-house indigenous spiritual leader before you have breakfast on the veranda made by our local chefs. Next, you will experience the uniquely spectacular history and unbelievable landscape with our bilingual tour guides that will wow you in knowledge, humor and personalized service.
Whatever you like, it is here for you, for that unforgettable holiday or special romantic get-a-way. Water sports, historical tours, shopping tours, adventure day trips, and elegant nightlife.You will not be able to stop talking about this vacation for years. And you might not be able to resist coming back year after year like 56% of our truly satisfied customers year after year.
Which is more likely to make you want to go? The one that gives the unflattering and necessary details, or the one that puts you there before you even leave?
Everyone knows that travel and airports are a horrible necessity. Everyone knows that exercise and weight loss takes work and changes. Don’t remind them of the work, inspire them with the result and the speed and easy of your program to get the body that will make her the envy of your girlfriends.
Just because you haven’t been good at selling in the past, doesn’t mean you cannot sell millions of dollars of products. When I started, I couldn’t successfully sell a bag of peanuts to someone starving.
Then as if by magic during my journey, I discovered what works for me without aggressive sales techniques that outperform most hard sell methods. How? By sharing ideas and solutions in a way that was true to me.
In other words, I stopped trying to be someone else. That was the key that unlocked the door to blockbuster product launch after product launch offering products that transforms their lives.
