To be able to create messages that actually cause people to want to part with their hard-earned money is a highly valued skill. (Some call it a gift) Most people can write well enough to come up with messages their visitors do not mind reading, or even enjoy reading.

However, an actual sales message that makes people willingly buy products, or services is a “horse of another color.” Being readable as a writer is a far cry from being persuasive as a writer. Even the Authors who make the top-ten bestseller lists are persuasive.

They have “sold” you on their main character, their ideas, or solutions to a perceived problems. Even if you think you have not been “sold,” – consider the fact – you bought their book! Being persuasive in writing has nothing to do with “hype.”

In fact, much of the “hype,” in sales writing has become a thing of the past – people simply just no longer believe claims that sound near impossible. Overblown sounding promises fall on deaf ears today as most folks will not read past the first claim that sounds far-fetched.

Buyers have learned the hard way that quite often if a claim sounds ‘too good “to be true, then most often they turn out to be not true. Sometimes the claim itself proves to be true, but the copy, which framed the claim, proves to be untrue.

For example, let’s say the “software” may actually do the claim itself, but the results attained which were promised in the copy that sold the software, fall flat; and fail to produce said desires, and benefits promised. Nowadays people are more conscience about how they spend their money. (say than, just 10 years ago)

Writing with persuasion involves credibility, a “deeper connection” with readers, full attention from visitors, and believability: with emotional investment. When you combine all of these elements into a proper sales message – sales will be made without question.

Sound easy enough? More than 98% of sales pages (whose copy was written by CEOs, or in-house writers who were not professional copywriters) fail to make a single sale. That is a fairly sobering statistic. Why does this kind of writing seem to be so hard to nail down?

It is all about the copy in and of itself. Words on a page can entertain, cause fear, generate great interest, or inspire and incite readers into taking desirable actions. This can be to “opt in, buy now, sign up, become affiliates with, or even simply “like,” or link to the message. They can even be moved into taking all of the actions – at once.

The better a person “responds” to a sales message, the better performance the copy of the sales writing has. If they are compelled into taking all of the above actions, they have been incited into action. Can you write copy that incites readers into action?

It takes trial, patience, skill as well as perseverance to consistently obtain a level of copywriting that can be categorized as “high performance.” It compels readers into doing more than just something, or anything; it compels them into them doing something “favorable,” or desirable to the owner of the message.

Do you see the magic here? When you can consistently get people to respond in a favorable manner, then you have the power of persuasion. Do you have the power of persuasion?
