Creating a Powerful Sales Letter Using Four Main Ingredients!

Everybody wants to make more money... In fact, most people would like to hit upon something that makes them fabulously rich! And seemingly, one of the easiest roads to the fulfillment of these dreams of wealth is writing effective Sales Letters and using them correctly.

The only thing is, hardly anyone gives much real thought to the basic ingredient of selling by email, selling by web site, selling by direct mail - the writing of money making Sales Letters. If your online/offline business is to succeed, then you must acquire the expertise of writing sales letters that sell your products or services!

So what makes a sales letters good or bad? First of all, it must appeal to the reader, and as such, it must say exactly what you want it to say. Secondly, it has to say what it says in the least possible number of words in order to keep your operating costs within your budget. And thirdly, it has to produce the desired results whether inquiries or sales.

Grabbing the reader's attention is your first objective. You must assume the reader is "scanning" the page on which your sales letter appears. If your message is in the company of other huge distractions, such as graphics, resource links or other images, there has to be something about your Sales Letter that causes them to stop scanning and look at your message!

So, the first two or three words of your sales letter are of the utmost importance and deserve your careful consideration. Most surveys show that words or phrases that quickly involve the reader, tend to be the best attention-grabbers. Such words as: FREE... WIN... MAKE BIG MONEY...

Whatever words you use as attention-grabbers, to start your sales letter, you should bear in mind that it will be competing with similar attention- grabbers, only if there are other means and ways of distractive material are present. Therefore, in addition to your lead words, your sales letter must quickly go on to promise or state further benefits to the reader.

In the language of professional copywriters, you've grabbed the attention of your prospect, and interested them with something that even they can do.

What I'm saying is that here is the place for you to insert that magic word "guaranteed" or some other such word or phrase. So now, we've got a sales letter that opens with or leads on that reads:


Now the reader is turned on, and in their mind, can't lose. You're ready to ask for their money. This is the "demand for action" part of your sales letter. This is the part where you want to use such words as:

Limited offer - Act now! Write today! Putting it all together as you flow through your sales presentation.

These are the four ingredients of any good sales letters.

Attention - Interest - Desire - Action...

Without these four ingredients skillfully integrated into your sales message, chances are your sales letter will just "lie there" and not do anything but cost you money. Although such a letter could be placed in any leading publication and would pull a good response,  it's known as a "blind letter" and would pull inquiries and responses from a whole spectrum of people reading the publication in which it appeared.

The point I am making is that:

l. You've got to grab the reader's attention...

2. You've got to "interest them" with something that appeals to them...

3. You've got to "further stimulate" them with something (catch-phrase) that makes them "desire" the product or service...

4. Demand that they act immediately...

There's no point in being tricky or clever. Just adhere to the basics and your profits will increase accordingly. One of the best ways of learning to write good sales letters is to study the other sales letters out there - try to figure out exactly what they're attempting to sell - and then practice re-writing them according to the rules I've just given you. Whenever you sit down to write a sales letter, always write it all out - write down everything you want to say - and then go back over it, crossing out words, and refining your phraseology.
