I'm a copywriter.

I couldn't use MS Paint if my life depended on it.

But I've worked with the best designers.

Together we have created sales pages that have earned hundreds of thousands.

Here are their most profitable secrets 👇 Image
1/ Copy leads design BUT...

Design leads the reader’s eye.

Use graphics elements to make your prospect read your copy.

That's the 1st mission of design ⬇ Image
2/ Avoid ugly & sloppy stuff

To quote @joserosado

“Your prospect won’t congratulate you for your fancy design, but they will complain if things are ugly.

Avoid:

❌ Non-aligned elements
❌ Low-quality pictures
❌ Ugly stuff"
3/ Match your audience’s tastes & expectations

If a sales page is a physical store.

Design is the place and decoration.

If you're selling high-ticket, make your page elegant.

If you sell to young guys, make your page looks dynamic.
4/ Make people feel at home

If your audience is familiar with certain graphic elements.

Use them...

Example:

If you're selling to comics fans, make your landing page looks like a comic book.

5/ Trends are cool but can be harmful

If there’s a design trend:

Avoid it.

Trends are usually tricks that distract your reader and that's bad.

6/ Images and pictures are powerful BUT…
Getting the most from them requires some crucial considerations ⬇
I/ Use only images your audience can relate to:

If you're selling to soccer moms.

Use images of soccer moms, not fashion models.
II/ People don't want a mirror…

They want to see what they can achieve

If you're selling a fitness program for skinny guys.

Instead of using 7 pictures of thin guys.

Use one picture of a skinny boy & 6 pictures of strong guys.

Desired state > current reality
III/ Use images to relieve pain

If you're selling a cure for acne.

Instead of showing pictures of damaged skin...

Show flawless skin (what your prospect wants).
7/ An image can convey a lot of information

Sometimes it's better to use a meme or graphic to communicate an idea.

Here’s how @basecamp did it: Image
8/ Be bold with your CTA

Make your text look like a subhead right above the CTA button.

That way, even skimmers will click.

An ex-CIA agent:

- Wrote 6 books on sales & copywriting
- Sold a 6,000,000 mansion with a sales letter
- Sold 20+ million sunglasses using direct response ads

He was Joseph Sugarman…

And here are his 7 copy principles

→ Thread
1. Make them slide.

All your copy should flow.

Your readers should feel on a greasy slippery slide.

How do you do that?

→ Simple words
→ Fewer commas
→ Short paragraphs
2. That’s the mission of your graphics:

Make the prospect read all the copy.

Your graphics should guide the eye.
