Killer Content!

by: Todd Levi

With the multi-millions of web sites that are competing for attention, attracting new visitors is a tough task. Once you get them the visitor there, the hard part is convincing them to stay or even buy. Web designers often turn to flash, fancy graphics, killer sound and other catchy features. While these devices might draw visitors into your site, it?s what and how you say it that makes the repeat visit or sale. Establishing credibility is huge. Customers expect the world and are suspicious of almost everything. The words on your site must be intelligent ad well thought out. This article will show you how to grab a visitor?s attention, intrigue their interest and motivate them to action.

The killer copy has, and always will rule. Just having the coolest look doesn?t SAY anything for you, literally.
Copy is time tested. Wether it be the newspaper, a T.V. news script or the article like you are reading now, it is the words that gain trust and acceptance of a company or image. Proper copy online is a different animal when you take into consideration of proper SEO, but the same premises stands. While the visitor doesn?t often care where your site ranks if you gain there trust through words, it is still important to make sure they see you. Take for instance a company like Google: No matter what they say they can get rankings (hmmm. I wander how that works? ;C)~ ). They can design copy that will be read so they only need worry about how the user will view it. Same goes for any traditional print media. The journalist with the front cover story of the N.Y. Times doesn?t need to worry about exposure, only how grabbing the words in the article displayed on the front page will affect the reader. We are all not so fortunate. We the masses need to combine a balance of exposure to our copy, but more importantly user attention and appreciation.
To reach this equilibrium I suggest the following tips:

1. Write for the buyer.

Keeping this in mind will never point you in the wrong direction. First and foremost you are here for the customer. Wether your selling information, ideas, products it doesn?t matter: COPY NEEDS TO BE DIRETED AT THE AUDIENCE FIRST AND FOREMOST! This is the number one rule when creating copy.

2. Backup your claims.

Give the user want hey want. When designing your copy: make sure you view it from the user?s perspective, not yours. The best salesman (or woman) always keeps things in perspective. You want to view and edit your copy as if you are the one being pitched. If this means: adding media, flashy headings or any wording in your pitch that?s great, as long as the user or buyer will appreciate it. Try to go through revision stages only looking at your selling copy from a perspective users P.O.V. (point of view).

3. Keep in mind search engine optimization.

I made this the last point because, while important, the other two theories trump. Keywords are just that: KEY! When writing text for online publication it is great to have a properly winning sales pitch but the online world throws another kink into it.
You must include your related keywords. By this I mean you need to include words relevant to what you are selling. This shouldn?t be hard since these words will be the topic at hand. It is important to to have a higher saturation of these words in your text than other terms used throughout your sales pitch. The search engines work with relevancy, so the more relevant your text is, the better it will be received by the engines.

Writing Copy for Online Auctions

Writing Copy for Online Auctions

by: Patricia Michaels

The phrase writing copy comes from the advertising world, and it means a type of writing used to sell anything, from ideas to goods or services.

Copy writing is both an art and a science. You are trying to persuade as many people as possible to bid on your items by using words and phrases. While the art of writing copy may take years to master, the science of writing copy is a bit easier.

In order to place bids on your items, potential customers need to be able to find your items. Generally speaking, they find your auction item in one of two ways. They can either browse through pages of items in a general category or they can do a search on a specific type or brand of item.

Five Ways to Improve Your Marketing Material with Fewer Words

Five Ways to Improve Your Marketing Material with Fewer Words

by: Jeremy Cohen

You can sell more by writing less.

If you are like many small business owners you may
unwittingly suffer from ?too many words? syndrome.
It
occurs when your marketing material features extra words
that don?t contribute to creating new business.

When your marketing material is too wordy you blur the
clarity of your marketing message.
The less clearly your
prospects understand how you can help them the less likely
they are to buy from you.
You want your marketing message
to come through without interference.

Too many words syndrome can rear its ugly head in just about
any copy.
It?s been known to lurk in web sites, brochures,

Who is the TV Guardian in Your House?

by: Chris Robertson

If you're a parent, chances are you're concerned about the content your kids are being exposed to on television. According to a March 2005 poll by Time Magazine, 66 percent of respondents said there is too much violence on TV, 58 percent said there is too much cursing, and 50 percent said there is too much sexual content. Although that's the perception of adults, it's based in fact.

According to the Parents Television Council, profanity is used once every six minutes on network TV shows, once every two minutes on premium cable shows, and once every three minutes in major motion pictures. Alarmingly, according to January 2005 Nielsen statistics, Desperate Housewives is the most popular network television show among children aged 9 to 12. Unless you're willing to be the TV guardian in your house, how can you be the TV filter that ensures your home remains curse free?

Home Equity Loan ? Home Theater Adds Fun and Value

by: Charlie Essmeier

In days gone by, the family typically spent their evenings watching television in the den or living room, crowded around a black and white television set that may have measured no more than nineteen inches in diagonal size. For decades, this scenario was pretty much the same in most American homes, with the only change being the replacement of black and white televisions with color models. This worked fine for many years, when most cities only had two or three stations, and most homes didn?t have cable television. With the introduction of high definition television (HDTV), DVD movies, high performance surround sound systems, and affordable video projectors and flat-screen plasma displays, many homeowners would like to have a dedicated room, or home theater, for audio-video use. In today?s housing climate, adding a home theater to your home is a smart move.

Few homes have a...
