No Intro Let's Go!
Right off the bat, let's go get 7 tips for creating better copy for your landing page!
Benefits Outweigh Features
Readers don't care about how many million megapixels your phone is packing. Technical term don't speak English.
"Take a picture in the dark while there's no atmosphere on Saturn" reads much better than "480 Trillion Megapixels" to the average human.
Readers don't care about your product features. They care about what problems your product will solve for them. Instead of showing them features, show them what success looks like!
Use True Numbers
Use numbers.
True, real, genuine numbers.
The more precise, the more specific, the better.
Highlight how better your product is and give them a real sense of comparison. 11% thinner feels more real than 10% thinner.
Headlines. Headlines. Headlines.
On the web, people don't read. They scan.
On average, 5x as many people read the headline vs the rest of your page.
Use this to your advantage and exploit your headline by making it:
- Short
- Punchy
- Eye-catching

Drive action through words. Reading is not enough, you want to make sure people are encouraged to explore the next steps!

Use Powerful CTAs by Clicking Here!

Identify these objections and break them one by one to reassure the user, then present them with your killer CTA for optimal result!
