Want to Write Great Sales Letters? Use the Zeigarnik Effect

There are many Internet Marketers out there who want to know the
secrets to writing a great sales letter that will suck people right
in and make them buy whatever it is that’s being sold. While there
is no golden bullet – one magic secret that will create the perfect
sales letter time after time – there is a little known secret that
will help a lot. That secret is called the Zeigarnik Effect.

Many marketing experts know about the Zeigarnik Effect. What it’s
all about is causing people to remember you or what you’re selling
by leaving them with incomplete information. In other words, you
leave them wanting more or you leave them feeling like something
isn’t complete.

The Zeigarnik Effect is actually based on a theory developed by
Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik. She noticed that waitresses
remembered orders that weren’t yet paid for much better than they
remembered orders that were already paid for. This led her to
investigate this premise and she found that it’s true – people
remember things that aren’t completed much better than things that
are completed.

You can actually relate this to your own life. At work you can
certainly name all the projects that you still need to complete and
you can give details about them but you’ll probably struggle to
give many details about completed projects. At the movies or on
television, movies or shows that have cliffhangers are much fresher
in your mind than shows and movies that had no loose ends when it
ended.

So how does this apply to writing sales letters? Quite simply it
means that you need to leave the customer wanting more. You need to
make the potential customer feel like there’s something left
undone. Then they’ll remember your sales letter and they’ll be much
more likely to buy from you. If you create that feeling of wanting
or needing more, that feeling of something being incomplete, then
the potential customer may buy just to get rid of that feeling.

Of course you can use the Zeigarnik Effect in online ads too. In
fact, you should definitely use it in your online ads. It will help
you get into people’s minds and stay there. You will notice your
conversion ratio rise dramatically.

Writing an effective sales letter is not an easy art to master.
There is not secret that can be applied that will suddenly make a
bad sales letter into a great sales letter. However, the Zeigarnik
Effect is one tip that most people don’t even know about, and if
you use it in your sales letter, you will find that you get great
results.

The Right Way to Write Articles

Just about anyone who has a business on the Internet uses article
marketing as part of their marketing efforts. Article marketing is
when a person writes an article related to a product or service
they’re offering in an attempt to get more people to become their
customer. Unfortunately not many people even know the right way to
write articles.

One of the keys to writing articles is to make sure they will rank
high on the search engines. This is done through search engine
optimization. This means that the article is written using a
keyword or a keyword phrase in the article so that the article
appears when that keyword or keyword phrase is searched for.

Just about everyone who writes articles knows that the articles
have to be search engine optimized. So this is followed but the
other key for the right way to write articles is completely
overlooked. The other key ingredient is to make sure the article is
well-written, easy to read, and informative.

Too many people simply write an article as fast as they can and
pump it full of keywords or a keyword phrases and then throw it up
on the Internet. The article is not educational and has no value to
anyone. So people will find the article but they won’t go any
further.

So anyone writing an article has to remember there are two steps
that must be taken by any potential customers. First the person has
to find the article and then they have to read it and find enough
value to want to continue to where the article directs them.

There are many people who write articles but absolutely hate it.
Many of these people also have no idea how to write a good article.
Luckily there is a formula they can follow.

The first part of a good article is the title. The title should
include the keyword or keyword phrase and it should also promise to
give a benefit to the reader. For example, it might promise it will
tell them how to save money on gas or it might promise to tell them
how to write an article the correct way (just as the title of this
article does). One thing to keep in mind is to always give people a
list or a specific number of solutions to a problem. People love
reading these types of articles.

Next an introduction has to be written. This will introduce the
reader to the topic and should include a “hook” – something that
will keep the people reading.

Then in the body of the article, you should give them the benefit
that was promised in the title. Make sure you give them what was
promised. If you promised “4 Ways to Save Money on Gas” then you
better give them 4 ways to save money on gas. If not, they’ll get
disgusted and simply click-out of your article.

Finally, in the conclusion you should just sum-up what the entire
article was about. Some people like to make the conclusion a mirror
image of the introduction.

Many people write articles and post them on the Internet but not
many people actually know the right way to write articles. A good
article needs to be optimized for search engines and it also needs
to be well-written so that the article leads the reader to where
you want them to go.

The Right Way to Write an E-Book

Writing and selling an eBook is one of the most profitable ways a
person can make money with Internet Marketing. But more than that,
writing an eBook can also establish a person as an expert in their
niche. That is, as long as the eBook is good. So here is the right
way to write an eBook.

The first elemental that is essential for writing a great eBook is
that you must be able to write. If you can’t write then you need to
be honest with yourself and you need to hire someone else to write
for you. No matter how hard you work, your book simply won’t be any
good if you can’t write.

Now, if you can write then you need to know that there is a certain
style of writing that most readers prefer. That style is a
conversational tone with a lot of space included. So be sure to
write like you’re talking to the reader rather than writing for
them. And also leave most of your paragraphs short and include
spaces in between them. This will give people the impression that
they can devour the reading easily.

The third tip for the right way to write an eBook is to make sure
you include valuable information. And you want to make sure you
begin presenting valuable information right from the start.
Otherwise, you may lose a lot of readers before they even get to
the good stuff. One of the best ways to include valuable
information early is to use the Introduction of the book to simply
let the reader know about all the great stuff that’s in the book.

The last of the things you must do to write a good eBook is to make
sure you edit it. Make sure the entire story flows well and that
each sentence sounds right. Make sure there aren’t any major
grammatical errors and that there are no misspellings or
punctuation mistakes.

There are certainly a lot of bad eBooks out on the Internet today.
This is mainly because many people don’t know the right way to
write an eBook. If you want to write a great eBook then you need to
be sure that you are a good writer, that you know how to write for
an Internet audience, that you include valuable information, and
that you edit your work. If you make sure these four things are
taken care of then you will have a great eBook to offer on the
Internet.
