Hello,
Welcome to this week's edition of Etips.
Thanks so much to everyone who joined my Empowerism team! I am so excited
about this opportunity, as this system is phenomenal.
I have been diligently working on the new customizable 'Promotional' ebook
for you and will get it to you ASAP. This isn't just a garbage frëë
ebook, it's loaded with quality information to assist you in developing a
successful Internet business. What's more, it's also loaded with recommendations
for business opportunities, products and services that you can customize
with your own affiliate links and distribute to your visitors and subscribers.
Not only can you use this ebook to assist you in promoting your own products
and services, but you can also use it as a tool to gain new subscribers,
a bonus with any products you may be selling and a tool to build you income
-- yours frëë just for being a member of my Empowerism
team.
If you've been on the Internet for a while, you know 'the money is in the
list.' And, what better way to buy leads than through Empowerism? Where else
can you invest $25 to purchase leads and months later, get $2,000 in return.
You won't receive that kind of return from your bank. It's simply amazing.
What's more, you can purchase as many leads as you'd like and get the same
return on each purchase. Although the RSVP program is great, that's not the
only reason I'm so excited about Empowerism. They also provide you with a
great program called MVP where you can purchase advertising packages and
get double your money back!
Empowerism is literally paying you to allow them to build your list and advertise
your products! It just doesn't get any better than that.
What's more, the Empowerism site is literally bursting at the seams with
great tutorials for just about every aspect of Internet business, so it's
great for newbie and professional marketers alike.

Copywriting Makeover: Good Rankings but No Sales Part 2 of 2
By
Karon
Thackston © 2004-2005
In Part 1
(http://www.web-source.net/etips/issue_221.htm)
of this article series, we looked at a local home security site that had
fairly good rankings but whose conversion rate was lacking. (You can see
the original copy here:
http://www.copywritingcourse.com/topsecurity-original.pdf.)
Here in the conclusion, you'll see how several changes helped maintain this
company's good rankings while improving their site's lead generation
abilities.
The Rewrite
My first thought with the rewrite was to stop making "trust and urgency"
the undertones and instead make them the obvious focal points of the copy.
As usual, I started with the headline. The previous headline was:
When every second counts, turn to Top Security, Inc. who has been securing
Orlando / Central Florida homes and businesses for 689,453,910 seconds.
I wanted something more direct so I changed the headline to:
Top Security, Inc. of Orlando
Security Systems From a Trusted Neighbor
This included one of their keyphrases and also made it perfectly clear this
company was local and trustworthy.
For the introductory paragraph, I wanted to get the visitor's attention and
hold it long enough to make a point: That security is something you need
to think about now, not later. I opened with the following:
"If only I'd called you sooner." "I never thought this could happen to me."
These are just a few of the many comments we have heard from our customers
in Orlando. Security systems suddenly became a top priority for them, but
not until after they'd experienced a frightening break-in or a devastating
fire. After these disasters, our Orlando neighbors were convinced that burglar
alarm and security issues should be a forethought, not an
afterthought.

The copy does not beat the visitors
over the head with the fact that they could be hurt, face losses, or experience
some other frightening situation. It simply plants a seed of "what if" and
moves on.
This section of the copy also lends support to the keyphrases Top Security
wanted to rank highly for. Because "Orlando Security Systems" can be an awkward
phrase to repeat, I split it up in several instances to help the flow of
the copy stay natural.
The remainder of the page speaks to the facts that Top Security is local,
has longevity in the community, is right around the corner, and offers several
other benefits national security companies simply can't (or won't). Benefit
after benefit is listed and explained in order to drive home the fact that
a local company can - and will - provide exceptional service. You can see
the current version here:
http://www.copywritingcourse.com/topsecurity-current.pdf.
All throughout these sections of the copy, keyphrases are reinforced in the
copy. When applicable, keyphrases are used in bold phrases or others that
include special formatting. However, I never forced keyphrases someplace
they didn't fit just for the sake of doing it. Keyphrase placement has to
meld with the copy, not overpower it.
The call-to-action for the home page was simple. It asked three questions
dealing with the biggest complaints about home security that users or potential
users have regarding dependability, false alarms, and price.
The Results
The high rankings Top Security had prior to the SEO copywriting makeover
were retained for most terms and even increased for a few others. While that's
great, what's more important is that lead generations from the site increased,
which gave Top Security, Inc. a broader customer base and the potential to
make more sales they previously would not have been able to make.
It just goes to show that, even if your site has high positioning, copywriting
can play an incredibly important role in bringing growth to your business.
After all, what's the point of having good rankings if you have no sales?
