3. Imagine how wonderful it would be if you didn’t

It can happen.

4. A hardworking website can work like a
well-oiled, money-making machine.
It attracts a flood of traffic right at when
they’re looking for what you offer.
Then it converts that traffic to paying
customers.

5. The Three Building Blocks of a
Money-Making Website

6. First there’s the technology to assure your website
runs smoothly – pages load in a split second, links
sprint to their destinations, and leads are captured
and securely locked down.

7. Then there’s the pretty stuff – the branding, eye
candy and visual cues.
According to user-experience psychologist and
author Susan Weinschenk the initial decision to
linger on a website is related to the website’s look
and feel.

8. And finally there’s the website copywriting.
Or, at least, that’s the way many business people
attack the challenge. But it’s an upside down
approach.

9. The Upside Down Approach

10. This is what’s upside down. Business people hire
the technicians, the designer and, at a last minute,
they might hire a website copywriter.

11. Or maybe they don’t even hire one.
In that case they fill the pages with copy that’s cut
and pasted from a couple of old brochures, or
churned out by whoever has a few free hours to
string words together like sausages.

12. In the rush to meet the launch deadline the
company’s goals of attracting, engaging and
persuading website visitors are all but forgotten.
You have to admit, it’s a little upside down.

13. Why Copywriting Should Come First

14. In a recent study participants were asked which
features of a site earned their trust.
74 percent cited the site's content, not its looks.

15. That's because after their initial yes/no screening,
which is based on look and feel, visitors read and
explored to assess credibility and relevance.

16. The Upfront Work of Website
Copywriting

17. To create copy that revitalizes your
website you have to define your:
Goals;
Audience; and
The benefits you offer.

18. So think through the answers to these questions
before you write a word:
What are the goals for your website?
Who are your prospects?
How does your product or service improve
your prospect’s life?
And, why are your prospects are better off
buying from you than your competitor?

19. At the end of this process you should be able
to describe your prospects in detail.
It always helps to write personas (or
descriptions) of a few typical prospects.
Then empathize with them and describe their
hopes, dreams and fears.
Imagine how your product or service can
improve their lives.
