by TonyHetherington Whether you have a website to launch, an ebook to publish, or affiliate scheme to promote website copy writing is one of the most essential skills to have. If you're promoting anything online you will need to create compelling copyto form articles, press releases and website content. But they've been hiding the truth from you! They say you need a copy writer to create your content - they are wrong! Giving control of all your website content is a terrible thing to do. Althought the copy make be technically good it will be missing one essential ingredient - you, your passion and your knowledge! They say creating a great sales page is important - they are wrong! Creating great copy for your website is absolutely essential and goes far beyond the sales page. To build long term success you need fantastic content. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost. They tell you that PLR copy is the answer - they are wrong! PLR (Private Label Rights) copy is dreadful. It's the industrial approach to website content in which you can buy 100s of articles in one go. They don't want you to realise that you are the best person to create your copy so that you keep paying them. When have you ever heard a copywriter say "You know far more about your business then I ever will." or "I'll do this first one so you can do the rest." That's this secret conspiracy at work! I doubt that there's an official HQ or conspiracy to bring together the copy writers and grammarians but it's just as effective. Never! Not a chance. They want to keep you right where you are and bill you again and again knowing that you'll never realise how easy it can be to create your own copy, or that you're the best person to do it. It's time that you changed a few things and decided to create the compelling copy that the search engines and your customers will love. 1. Fire the copy writer - it is your opinions that count. 2. Answer your customer's questions - By solving their problems they'll come back for more. 3. Take control - only by taking ownership of all of your site including the content will you get the success you deserve.
