Is There Really a Difference Between Online Copywriting and Copywriting for Print? part 1

One of the copywriting mistake I have seen the largest repeatedly is to write about the features rather than benefits. But, you say, I want everyone to know all about great products. How do I get them to buy if they do not know about the features that great? Sorry bubble burst, but really they just do not care.

What they do care to prove the basic truth about human nature-we are basically selfish creatures. We care benefits rather than features. “What’s in it for me?” That’s what really counts. Does that mean that you need to know exactly how your product or service will benefit your readers, and can then deliver it to them in terms they will understand.

Another common mistake is to write to all people. Your target market can not be “everyone”. If so, no one will really get the message. And if no one got your message, no one would buy both.

Determining who your target market is before you start writing will at least, the focus of your writing. And go further than determining broad target market if you can. Narrowing the target market to a niche market instead. Who is the most important potential clients? Determining who your target is the most important and write directly to them.

Choose one topic and stick to it.

Prove your authority. You can use the case history, testimonials, citing an important study or use your own articles. The point is that people buy from the experts. Make sure that you are.
