Steps to Do Copywriting Like the Experts
The steps you must follow to do copywriting like the best experts are the following:
1. Understand your Audience
To start, it is crucial that you understand what type of audience you are targeting. You have to research your audience, their needs, their desires, their concerns… the better you know your target audience, the better the type of copywriting you will write.
Does the phrase “if something is free, you are the product” sound familiar to you? Well, this is usually what it is for. They ask you questions that you must answer, they do research on you, so that they can create an appropriate strategy for the type of audience they are giving away “free” things to.
2. Define your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
USP comes from the English language and is defined as "unique selling proposition" which in Spanish translates as unique selling proposal, and basically it is where you have to talk about:
- Why should your audience choose your product or service.
- What differentiates you from your competition?
- What makes your products and services so special?
Make sure you clearly define what your USP is and make sure you implement and communicate it when writing copy.
3. Structure your Messages Correctly
The best and most effective copywriting is always written with a clear and precise structure. My recommendation is that you always start with a headline that is effective and that draws the attention of your target audience. Use good subheadlines that have something in common with the title, and short paragraphs so that it is easier for your audience to read and not get tired eyes.
It is proven that leaving a space every 2-3 paragraphs increases the reading time of your readers.
4. Use Words That Resonate With Your Audience
That's why the research phase of your target audience is so important, because this way you can also discover what kind of words resonate with your audience. Use a selective type of language that resonates with your audience when you can and should, avoid technicalities, be clear and direct when communicating with them.
5. Create a CTA (Call to Action)
CTA comes from the English language "call to action" which translated into Spanish means call to action, and what it means is that in each piece of copywriting you write, you must include a CTA that is clear and persuasive so that your audience takes action.
That is, tell your audience what type of action you want them to take, such as:
- Buy a product
- Subscribe to your newsletter
- Fill out a type of form
- Book a video call meeting with you
A CTA makes all the difference when it comes to getting conversions.
