Creative Copy - Its Like Selling A Unique Business Proposition

Creative copywriting is very similar to a sales process in a business scenario -

• You identify a unique need in your niche market;
• You find a way to fill that need;
• You differentiate your way of filling that need (make it unique);
• You set a price for your unique proposition, and promote it in a compelling way to entice your audience;
• You add a benefit to further compell the buyer to make a buying decision.

When you draft the original copy for a web project, keeping the above scenario in mind, it would behoove you to follow the five P's of Web Copywriting in mind.

A brief explanatiion for each of the five P's of Web Copywriting is provided below -

1. Problem – The task of convincing someone of a need includes helping the buyer realize that there is a dilemma that must be addressed. This dilemma or problem helps create a sense of urgency, necessitating action to resolve the issue at hand. Your copy needs to present this problem, so you can begin the process of convincing the buyer that you can fill their need, or solve their problem.
2. Promise – You promise the buyer that the subject matter of your copy, essentially your sales pitch is going to make it all good for them. For example, if you presented the problem of a leaky faucet, you now promise that your solution will fix the problem.
3. Proof – Demonstrate your unique proposition, so you can put your money where your mouth is. In order words, you will present the features - how your solution works to resolve the issue. And you will differentiate it - why your solution works better than any other. Your objective is to make your solution irresistible to the buyer.
4. Price – Pricing is key to any business proposition. Not only do you have to make your solution shine brighter than that of the competition, but you also have to sell your proposition in a way that the buyer is convinced they are doing themselves a favor by investing in your solution. This is the icing to the cake - conveying that your your solution is worth every penny of its cost, even if the cost appears somewhat higher than other similar, albeit inferior solutions offered by the competition.
5. P.S. – This is where you add a little decoration on the icing - an added benefit that complements your solution. For example, you may note that your product not only fixes a leaky faucet, but will also do a great job on that leaky shower head or that leaky gutter. This is where you nudge the undecided buyer who is on the fence, to go ahead and make that leap.

This intuitive formula has worked in practically any type of business scenario. And if you incorporate it in your copywriting efforts, you just might be pleasantly surprised as you go about creating captivating copy, which, in turn, could create cash for you.

Here's to your creative copywriting success!

Creative Copy - Creating Your Success Online

About the Author

Creative writing has been my passion for years now, and has only intensified lately, due to the countless opportunities to showcase creative skills on the Internet.

And with that passion comes emotion - so my emotional passion, or passionate emotion, becomes my signature when I write or create. And I write often and plentiful. I am also an amateur artist.

So I write or draw when I feel good, or when I feel down, or even when I feel nothing. I write or draw to relieve stress, I write or draw to share my thoughts, and I write or draw to get my point across.

Creative Writing is my forté. Creating Captivating Copy is my desire. Creating a creative niche to creatively convert creative online opportunities to cash is my goal.

Perfect Copy $11.65 Cloning is some of the most exciting science and one of the most keenly fought moral debates of our time. Perfect Copy is a uniquely accessible exploration this most vexed and pressing issue.  In 1997 Ian Wilmut and his team announced that they had done what many thought to be impossible. They had cloned a mammal from an adult cell. This breakthrough prompted immediate calls for the new technology of mammalian cloning to be used on humans.  Italian fertility specialist Severino Antinori hopes to use cloning 'within two years' to give 200 infertile couples the opportunity to at last become parents.  Cloning may also solve, once and for all, the problem of rejection that bedevils transplant surgery. Perhaps it even holds the promise of eternal life.  But plans to clone humans have triggered a storm of protest. Scientists including Wilmut, politicians from left and right, and theologians from almost all religions find the idea abhorrent. We cannot possibly decide who is right in this debate unless we have a good understanding of what a human clone is and how one would be created.  Nicholas Agar unravels the science - and the ethics - of cloning and begins to show how we should approach this fantastically problematic area.

The Subversive Copy Editor $13 Each year writers and editors submit over three thousand grammar and style questions to the Q&A page at The Chicago Manual of Style Online . Some are arcane, some simply hilarious—and one editor, Carol Fisher Saller, reads every single one of them. All too often she notes a classic author-editor standoff, wherein both parties refuse to compromise on the "rights" and "wrongs" of prose styling: "This author is giving me a fit." "I wish that I could just DEMAND the use of the serial comma at all times." "My author wants his preface to come at the end of the book. This just seems ridiculous to me. I mean, it’s not a post -face." In The Subversive Copy Editor , Saller casts aside this adversarial view and suggests new strategies for keeping the peace. Emphasizing habits of carefulness, transparency, and flexibility, she shows copy editors how to build an environment of trust and cooperation. One chapter takes on the difficult author; another speaks to writers themselves. Throughout, the focus is on serving the reader, even if it means breaking "rules" along the way. Saller’s own foibles and misadventures provide ample material: "I mess up all the time," she confesses. "It’s how I know things." Writers, Saller acknowledges, are only half the challenge, as copy editors can also make trouble for themselves. (Does any other book have an index entry that says "terrorists. See copy editors"?) The book includes helpful sections on e-mail etiquette, work-flow management, prioritizing, and organizing computer files. One chapter even addresses the special concerns of freelance editors. Saller’s emphasis on negotiation and flexibility will surprise many copy editors who have absorbed, along with the dos and don’ts of their stylebooks, an attitude that their way is the right way. In encouraging copy editors to banish their ignorance and disorganization, insecurities and compulsions, the Chicago Q&A presents itself as a kind of alter ego to the comparatively staid Manual of Style . In The Subversive Copy Editor , Saller continues her mission with audacity and good humor.  

Write, Copy, Make Money $22.4 Anyone who writes copy for a living eventually has to decide whether to go it alone (if they have not already done so).

Rough Copy $4.99 Best-Ever Book from Bestselling B&D Author! When beautiful, leggy, submissive Lisa wakes up in a new cloned body, she understands that participating in her Master's futuristic cloning project was a barefoot step too far. He has forsaken her, sold her as a licensed piece of property to be duplicated and used.And that's just the beginning of her troubles, because the cloned Lisa has no independent existence, no legal identity, none of the protections that safeguarded her original. Which means that the Alphas--the consortium that now owns her--can treat her exactly as they wish.But even the Alphas aren't as bad as one of their clients: the sadistic, rapacious Tobias H. Periwinkle. And when Periwinkle raises the cash he needs to buy his very own whipping girl, it seems that Lisa's only hope is the lover she abandoned without even saying goodbye. Fallen Angel Reviews calls Han Li Thorn's bdsm novels, "Compelling ... realistic and entertaining all at the same time. The descriptions and scenes are very detailed and wonderfully written."

Art & Copy (DVD) $38.24 The advertising industry in America exists in a paradox--while it`s all but impossible to go a day without being exposed to the work of leading figures in the advertising business, very little is known about the people behind the ads and the process by which they`re created. Filmmaker Doug Pray offers a rare look inside the business of advertising in the documentary ART & COPY, in which he profiles a number of the most respected men and women in the ad game as they talk about their work, their motivations, and their views on the creative process. Pray`s interview subjects include Lee Clow, who created memorable television spots for Apple`s Macintosh computer and later their iPod MP3 player; Rich Silverstein and Jeff Goodby, who gave new life to the dairy industry with the "Got Milk?" campaign; Hal Riney, who helped put Ronald Reagan in the White House with his "Morning in America" TV spot; George Lois, who remade popular culture by coining the slogan "I Want My MTV"; and Mary Wells, the first woman to run a major ad agency and the creator of the "I (heart) New York" campaign. Sponsored in part by the One Club, an organization dedicated to excellence in advertising, ART & COPY received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

Copy Number Variation $137.01 A copy number variation (CNV ) is a segment of DNA in which copynumber differences have been found by comparison of two or more genomes. The segment may range from one kilobase to several megabases in size.Humans (being diploid) ordinarily have two copies of each autosomal region, one per chromosome. This may vary for particular genetic regions due to deletion or duplication.CNVs may either be inherited or caused by de novo mutation. A recently proposed mechanism for the cause of some CNVs is fork stalling and template switching, a replication misstep.
