'tricks'.
Well read on and I'll reveal to you 3 jealously-guarded tips

(1) Start A Sales Letter 'Swipe File'
Simply start collecting winning sales letters AND emails into a
'swipe file' that you can refer to for :

* As inspiration and motivation
You'll find this 'swipe file' invaluable to writing your own
killer copy. Successful copywriters literally swear by this
method in creating awesome sales letters.
(2) Write As If You're Your Own Prospect
The real secret to copywriting genius is to get into your
propect's mind and encourage action at will.
And the best way to do this is by becoming your prospects!
Write your copy from their view and put yourself in their shoes.
Think like them and you'll build a subconscious rapport that
wins them over.
Throughout your copy, ask questions they would ask.
Write from the heart and answer these questions.
Ask yourself too : "would YOU buy this product yourself if
you're reading the copy you wrote?"
Identifying with your prospects must begin right from the
headline down to the final P.S.
(3) Create The Achieved End Results
Here's a tip that works like crazy.
Create the actual OR perceived end results write at the
beginning of your copy. Give specific details. Continue to
emphasize these results and benefits throughout your letter.
Give a 'tangible' feel to what can be achieve IF they buy, and
what they'll lose if they don't.
A simple example...
Don't write : "You'll receive unlimited traffic to your website
everyday!"
So? What does that achieve?
Write instead : "Generate 1000% more traffic, subscribers AND
sales with less than 5 minutes work!"
This shows the end results more clearly.
Copywriting's easy if you know the right techniques.
Apply the above 3 tips and you'll be improving your own copy
quickly ... without spending hundreds of dollars or hours on
copywriting courses or ebooks. Try it.
