Selling with Simple, Short and Sweet Salespages

Although i've never made expensive purchases on the internet at all, I have seen multiple salespages after salespages ever since 2006 while on my quest to being wealthy online. Some of them were complex and long, and some of them were short and simple. Some of them have prices that range from $100 to $500, and some of them cost way less, from $7 dollars to $50. After i've opted-in to any person's list in order to get a free gift that I see, i'm usually redirected to someone's salespage, also known as either a "web copy", "sales copy" or any pages that is selling and ends with the word "copy".

By the way, I LOVE getting free stuff in my Yahoo! email inbox. It's like Christmas every day when I check my inbox and find anything I can get for free, such as free software, free ebooks, free reports, free MP3/MP4 podcasts (especially any self-help, personal development, moneymaking, motivation, prosperity, ANYTHING that is free and is of very great useful value. But I sidetracked myself (i'm not using the word "digress"; I keep things simple for the simple everyman reader).

If I were to be a paid reviewer of salespages, I would find the faults of long ones, and I would suggest ways to shorten it for the target audience. If I were to put myself in the shoes of the salespage writer (copywriter in the technical sense), I would keep the salespages very simple, short and to the point. There's nothing that turns your audience, your viewers, your customers, or any traffic off more than VERY long salespages that not only has a lot of small text that is so clustered together, but also extend from 7 to 12 pages, has a lot of technical speak that even nerds and geeks can't put in their universal translator, and has a lot of fluff and filler that wastes people's time and productivity (and we ALL know that time is money). If your salespages put people to sleep faster or makes them drowsy, then make it into a free ebook for those that have insomnia, sleep apnea or any number of sleep problems. Better yet, you can use this headline: "This salespage is making you sleepy...sleepy...sleepy...". They'll be too knocked out to hear your fingers snap anyway because they'll be gone as soon as they wake up.

Speaking of which, keeping salespages short and simple can save time as well as make people have much confidence in you to buy your product. The same is also true for affiliate programs. When you recieve traffic and redirect it to your affiliate site, it'll be the same way as the merchant site, and affiliates will be paid their commissions faster.

So let me give you some suggestions when writing your next salespage or salescopy:

-Keep your rags-to-riches story, as well as your profile, short in a brief summary in your salespage, and if you are giving away your free report or selling it, tell your story and profile in full. Add your story and your profile in your ebook that you're selling as well.

-List your main points of the ebook you're selling or giving away in sentences or short paragraphs in your salespages, such as the benefits, the results, or anything that can be very useful that can help your reader and customer, but don't reveal too much.

-Save your testimonials for last. Add them to a different page, or place them in the last part of your free report, but don't put it in your salespage unless you can put 2 or three testimonials, those that are short and summarized. Better yet, if you ask for testimonials, ask them to keep it short and simple.

So there you have it. A salespage that is also a surefire winner. It doesn't have to be of a Shakespearean, Pulitzer Prize quality, but it shouldn't be full of errors, grammatical or not. Remember this rule: the shorter and summarized your salespage, the quicker your list will grow, and/or the more people will buy from you. That should be one of the golden rules of internet marketing.
