Simple Tips To Increase Your Copywriting Skills

Selling is tough. Many people are drawn to it because of the promise of big cash. However, along with that possibility, there’s also a lot downsides. Rejection, long hours, and the ever present fear that you’ll never succeed and end up homeless on the street. Despite the magnificent progress of evolution and technological advancement, you’re back in the stone age. You don’t kill, you don’t eat.
This is why face to face sales has the biggest turnover rate of any industry. Plenty are suckered into with ideas of easy riches, only to be disgracefully ejected without ever having made a single sale. It’s a tough racket.
However, selling with the written word is something else entirely. Even if you are terrible at it, you can slowly get better over time. You can even keep your day job while you do. Once you get good enough, you can kiss that nine to five grind behind, and work from anywhere there’s an internet connection and an electrical outlet for your laptop.
Here’s how: All you’ve got to do is write so that people take action. Try something out, measure your feedback. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn’t work, try something else.
The best way to start is a place like this. Start writing articles. Put a link in the bottom. Follow the rules, but try every trick in the book to get people to click the link at the bottom. The more people click the link, the better you’re doing.
The next step is to try and sell something. Don’t make it too big or expensive. Choose a book you like from Amazon. You can sign up easy enough to be an affiliate. You aren’t doing this to make money, just to measure your progress.
Get a blog, and promote your book. Tell people how cool it is. Tell people how it helped you. Put a link on your blog to the book’s page on Amazon. Then simply measure what percent of people who visit your site click through to Amazon and make a purchase.
When you get pretty good at that, start selling stuff that costs more money. Whatever you like. Electric guitars. Hammocks. Massage chairs. Pick something you feel passionate about, and sell it to people. The better you get, the more you’ll be inspired to get even better.
Pretty soon, you’ll have some skills that few people possess. Skills that can easily get you six figures a year in your spare time. Obviously, it takes a while to develop this skills. But if you dedicate a few hours a week to improving yourself, you’ll be making bank in no time.
