Write To Persuade


Persuade With Reasons And Repetition

Studies have shown that people are more likely to comply,if you just give them a reason to!Think about it…people do things for a reason, give them good reasons to do what you want them to do.

Repetition is critical in persuasive writing. Argue your point from many different angles, always arriving at the same conclusion…your’s! You should: state your position plainly and clearly, use examples, use statistics, tell a story, quote a famous person or authority, give convincing evidence that your position is the right position to take.

Be Consistent

Consistency in your thoughts and actions (and writing) is associated with believability, rational behavior, and integrity. Inconsistency in your writing can be associated with insecurity, and instability.
When writing persuasively ou always want to come off as a consistent authority figure who is in control, influential, and can present a strong, believable argument to prove your case.

Provide Social Proof Of Your Argument

By showing others agree with your stance, you can go along way toward proving your point. People look for guidance from others as to what to do or what to accept. This can be felt on an emotional level and can be powerful indeed! Just look at how many testimonials you see on sales pages. Social proof others have liked your product or service.

Use Comparisons As A Persuasive Technique

Using metaphors, similes, and analogies are very common persuasive writing techniques. Why? Because they allow you to compare your conclusion to something the reader may already accept as true, which make your argument easier to accept.
For instance, you could compare the cost of your eBook to the cost of live coaching, or what your eBook is really worth. ( a tactic used all the time!)

Feel Their Pain!

This is a persuasive technique works well, and that’s why is used so often. You identify with the problem your solution will be solving a little later in your piece. You know how they feel. You’ve been there and done that yourself, and here is what you found to take the pain away! Your solution’s credibility goes way up if you can demonstrate to your prospect that you truly can identify with their problem.

Do you write for the web? Writing web content, such as: articles, blog posts, etc. in the hope of selling a product or service? Trying to get more sign-ups to your list?

Writing for the web, or writing web copy (most things you write are considered copy:) is a bit different than writing a novel or story, in that the whole reason for your piece is to entice some sort of action out of your reader.

Writing for publication online or on the web, you need to write to convince, persuade, and even compel the reader to action. The action you have placed before them!

Learning how to write for the web, and learn to be convincing with your writing and watch you CTR (click through rate) and your selling power increase.

The one most important part of a persuasive piece written for online is the title. Don't just throw up any old title, no, spend some time and do some keyword research and craft the best title you can. You want your title to grab the web surfers attention and pull them into the rest of your content. And you want your piece to show up in the serps (search engine results pages.)

Try to identify with your reader, and the problem that brought them to your written piece in the first place. Let them know you feel their pain, you have been in their shoes. You know where they are coming from.

Now tell them how your solution to the problem took all your pain away, and will take their pain away as well. You have done the research for them and found the perfect solution, and are offering it to them on a silver platter! Your product or service is just what they have been searching for...the light at the end of the tunnel, just what the doctor ordered, the answer to all of their prayers...you get the picture!

Close with your call to action. This is almost as important as the title, so spend some time and craft a good call to action that will entice those click-throughs. Leave them wanting even more info from you, and tell them where they can get it...on the other side of your link. Writing for the web, write convincingly and increase your selling power!

Make More Money Writing - How To Persuade Your Readers To Take Action

When you write something online what do you write for? Just to tell your readers a story, how your day went?
No...

If you're anything like me when you write an article for online publication you want just one thing to happen...the reader to perform some kind of action. More action = more money from your writing!

This maybe a sale, a sign-up for your newsletter, or a visit to your website.

Regardless of what action you hope your reader will perform, if you write persuasively you'll get more readers to take that action. Write with persuasion and watch your CTR (click through rate) go up.

Writing persuasively is writing in a way that will appeal to the readers logic, but even more importantly appeal to his/her emotions.

WIIFM...What's In It For Me!

Readers are benefit driven...they always want to know what is in it for them. Your job as a persuasive writer is to tell them in no uncertain terms what you have for them, and how your solution is the answer they have been searching for.

A good way to start a persuasive piece is to tell a story, a story of how you have been in their shoes, you know how they feel...you can identify, you can feel their pain!

You could tell them how as you suffered just as they are you were able to see a light at the end of the tunnel, you found the solution...and that solution ended your pain, and will end their pain as well. The solution is of course you're offering.

When writing a persuasive article you should keep your writing clean, crisp, and free of any unneeded words or 'fluff'.

Your written words have power, the power to persuade, convince, and even compel your reader to take action.

Look at most any online sales page, or squeeze page to see most if not every persuasive technique used.

Although an article shouldn't attempt to be quite that persuasive, you still want to influence the readers, and get them to take action. The trick is to leave them wanting, or better still...needed to learn more about whatever you are offering them.

Writing persuasively is an art, but it is an art that is easy to learn and implement. Learn to write to persuade, convince, and compel your readers to take action...and watch your CTR go up!
