1. Empathy
To be empathic means to be aware and sensitive to others. In this case, empathy is crucial to broadcast your call-to-action and message to your target audience. One way to bring sensibility into your copy work is by thinking of and for the ideal clients. What and why are you offering? Will the clients benefit exponentially?
2. Simplicity
Usually, if you’re an expert in a specific field, you may naturally communicate with vocabulary that only people in your work field will understand. So, make sure that the choice of words in your copy work is universal, simple, and straight to the point- without needing to provide an extensive explanation.
3. Empowering tone
Use verbs that are inspiring, strong, and encouraging. Often, one word such as “heal” can have a potential lead scroll through to read an entire page and purchase your service/product. The tone of a social media post, email, brochure, etc., should always be uplifting and empowering.
4. SEO driven
While this may be a no-brainer, SEO-driven keywords are vital to the success of your business. It is what keeps traffic coming in year after year. Identify the keywords you want to incorporate into your copy continuously so that you reach a wider audience.
