Electrify Your Writing to get More Traffic
56
What is the one thing that makes people read your content and then take that next step to actually either buying your product or maybe even clicking on your add ?
It's often not what you write, but how you write it - especially on the Internet.
Let's be honest, people on the Internet are so used to jumping from page to page and just scanning. If something jumps out at them, they'll stay a bit longer and actually read what you have to say.
I hate to say this, but most of what's on the Internet is boring. We want entertainment, something to keep us riveted to our PC screens and that tickles our fancy.
Turning boring writing into captivating writing
To make a long story short, you have to write as if you're writing to a single person that's a close friend. Look at your emails and compare it to how you write for online publication. One of the biggest mistakes we often make is to write for the masses.
Don't... That's Boring
Write it as if you're talking to somebody you know. Add some personality. Just go look at the blogs that you read daily. You'll often find them filled with emotion. Sometimes it makes you sad, sometimes it makes you happy.
And that's what you're aiming for when writing. The better you are at doing this, the better your readership base becomes.
How to Electrify your copy
The bottom line is, I'm still learning.
I could go on and on, but the fact of the matter is, is that my copy is often on the boring side, and I battle to plug into emotion. People that natuarlly do this, often have a hand up on me, as they can write gripping copy.
Now, if you're like me, and you battle to write exciting good copy, then I might have the answer for you. I was just doing my normal day to day browsing, and as luck would have it, I stumbled onto this wonderful and free e-book.
It's mainly focussed on writing sales copy, but I've found it to be a great help in my day to day writing as well. Things that I've re-written using these techniques have gone from boring to grabbing and keeping the reader captivated.
People take years and a lot of practice to get this right, and this e-book might just short circuit the process for you as well.
The Skinny on this book:
Basically, the book looks at the major benefits to writing like you talk. It then goes into reasonable detail as to why some of the top copy writers are able to generate hugh sales from the copy they write. To be honest, there are only really a handful of marketers out there who constantly achieve great results with their copy.
And, then it shares a very strong secrets as to what these top copywriters do differently from the average marketer.

As a side note: I am not affiliated to Clayton Makepeace in anyway, I just thought the book was really a stunning book - especially at the price of free.
How does this bring more traffic ?
Think about it this way.
If you land on a page, and it bores you to tears, are you going to tell your friends about it ? Are you going to link it from your Facebook profile, Stumble It or even just bookmark it ?
The fact of the matter is, Web 2.0 has made it easy for the average Joe and Jane to create links to your pages. I like this page, let me Digg.it and maybe send it to my friends.
That wasn't possible a few years ago, and it was really difficult to get normal web users to link to you. Today, it's just a click of a button, and you've got a link. And each link you get, is potential for more traffic.
This is powerfull stuff... and it will ensure that more people see it and bookmark it.
Just look at what I've done now. I found an interesting ebook, with great tips in it. What do I do, I write a hub on it, so that I can share it with you. If this e-book was boring, I wouldn't waste my or your time.
And that is the power of writing good electifying content that will ensure your readers come back for more.

Electrify your ads is a great ebook, a lot of ebooks are pure junk with tons of theory but nothing you can actually put to use. Another great ebook is Authority Black Book at www.socialpowerlinking.com check it out. Great lens I gave it a thumbs up.
