1 Use the AIDA formula

The AIDA formula stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. It is a classic copywriting framework that helps you structure your sales letter in a logical and persuasive way. You start by grabbing your reader's attention with a catchy headline, a shocking statistic, or a bold promise. Then, you spark their interest by explaining the problem they have and the solution you offer. Next, you amplify their desire by showing the benefits and outcomes of your product or service, using testimonials, case studies, and social proof. Finally, you prompt them to take action by creating a sense of urgency, offering a guarantee, and giving a clear call to action.

2 Use emotional triggers

Emotions are powerful drivers of human behavior. They influence how we think, feel, and act. Therefore, if you want to persuade your prospects to buy from you, you need to appeal to their emotions as well as their logic. You can use emotional triggers such as fear, greed, curiosity, pride, or guilt to create a strong emotional connection with your reader and motivate them to take action. For example, you can use fear to highlight the risks of not buying your product or service, or greed to emphasize the value and savings they will get by buying from you. You can also use curiosity to pique their interest and keep them reading, or pride to make them feel good about themselves and their decision.

3 Use storytelling

Storytelling is one of the most effective persuasive writing techniques because it engages your reader's imagination, emotions, and memory. Stories help you create rapport, credibility, and trust with your reader. They also help you illustrate your points, show the transformation your product or service can provide, and overcome objections. You can use storytelling in different ways in your sales letter, such as telling your own story, telling your customer's story, or telling a hypothetical story. The key is to make your story relevant, relatable, and captivating.

The human mind is attuned towards stories. The story-telling approach helps to create a visual picture in your audience's mind and adds more credibility to your copy and brand voice. Stories humanize branding and copywriting. And your copy doesn't sound like too much of marketing jargon. But keep your stories honest and authentic (even a hypothetical story). Add numbers and statistics to the story. Talking about your brand, or your customers and the way they benefited from your product or service is a great way to build an emotional connection with your audience along with providing social proof.

4 Use the PAS formula

The PAS formula stands for Problem, Agitate, Solve. It is another powerful copywriting framework that helps you create a persuasive argument for your product or service. You start by identifying the problem that your reader has and making them feel the pain and frustration of it. Then, you agitate the problem by making it worse, showing the consequences of not solving it, and adding some salt to the wound. Finally, you present your product or service as the best solution to their problem and show how it can relieve their pain and improve their situation.

5 Use hypnotic language

Hypnotic language is a way of using words and phrases that influence your reader's subconscious mind and persuade them to do what you want. Hypnotic language can help you bypass your reader's critical thinking and resistance and make them more receptive and compliant. Some examples of hypnotic language are commands, suggestions, presuppositions, embedded questions, and metaphors. For example, you can use commands to tell your reader what to do, such as "Click here now". You can use suggestions to imply what they should do, such as "You might want to act fast". You can use presuppositions to assume what they already believe or want, such as "Since you're reading this, you're serious about solving your problem". You can use embedded questions to plant ideas in their mind, such as "What would it feel like to have more freedom and flexibility?" You can use metaphors to create vivid images and associations, such as "Your product is like a magic wand that can transform your life".

Writing a long sales letter requires elements that will make each reader want to consume your copy without consciously checking on time. But here is the thing, it doesn't end with getting them engaged. To make sales you need to leverage psychology. And it’s the reason using hypnotic language is important. Hypnotic languages should come both before and after your offer. Words like Affirming your audience's belief, presenting facts they can never say no to and having them say yes in agreement with you up to 3 places in your copy gets you on the stage. Using languages like this is how you bring your audience in the buying state and have them coming to you pre-sold, ready to buy what you are selling.

6 Use proof elements

Proof elements are pieces of evidence that support your claims and demonstrate your credibility and authority. They help you build trust and confidence with your reader and overcome their skepticism and doubt. Proof elements can include testimonials, case studies, reviews, endorsements, awards, certifications, statistics, guarantees, and social proof. You should use proof elements throughout your sales letter, but especially in the sections where you present your product or service, show the benefits and outcomes, and ask for the action. You should also make sure that your proof elements are relevant, specific, and verifiable.

All of the above mentioned frameworks won't convert a copy unless you know the sophistication and awareness level of your audience. For example... Storytelling works best for unaware audience. PAS framework best for product aware audience. And so on... But you want a copy that convert, right? Then put on your research hat and learn everything you need to know about your TA. That is literally the foundation of all great copy. Research. We can't do without it, it is a necessity to craft compelling copy. Nothing more, nothing less. So before trying on the above points... Lay your foundation right. Do your research.
