How's Your Copy Strategy?

Let's forget about the actual writing for a moment.

Let's talk about what comes before that.

I give you Ingrid and Ron.

Two different people who came to me last week, looking for ways to market their offers and make more money.

​

Ingrid

She's a sales/business coach with a big focus on the heart, soul and humanity of selling.

She has a coaching programme, including 1:1 sessions.
Β£6K for the lower tier. Β£9K for the top tier.

This changes the game. The second you're selling a high-ticket offer, you have to shift your copy and content game.​
​
πŸ‘‰ Writing it yourself is not good enough.
πŸ‘‰ ChatGPT is not good enough.
πŸ‘‰ Templates are not good enough.
​
I ask for the goals of the copy.
​
​'I want 17 people registered from my list of 1100.'​
​
It's doable. It's a 1.5% conversion.
​
​'My click-through rates are low, though.'​
​
Okay.
​
So it's a Β£6K/Β£9K program.
To a list of 1,100.
With a 1.5% conversion rate.
And the click rate is currently low.
​
So, here's what we're doing.
​
​A long-form sales page to coach a conversion and 10 high-converting sales emails. Because the more expensive the program, and the longer the program (this is a yearlong program), the more friction there is between the prospect and the offer. ​
​
So, it's not enough to simply lay the offer on the table. You have to coach a conversion. ​
​
πŸ‘‰ A landing page is not enough.
πŸ‘‰ A sales page is not enough.
πŸ‘‰ Eight emails are not enough.
​
You need more (better!) copy.
​You need to coach people in that copy.​
​
A long-form sales page will take people through a journey of self-discovery so that by the end of it they know if this is something they have to have, or not. There will be no doubts.
​
There will be:
​
πŸ‘‰ Self-selection
πŸ‘‰ Qualified leads
πŸ‘‰ Coaching through the objections, the FAQs, the concerns
πŸ‘‰ A clear, optimised offer of what their transformation will be
πŸ‘‰ Conversion
​
And there will be 10 emails in a sales sequence that will also coach them to the point where they know that going to the sales page is something they have to do if they want to change the situation they're currently in.
​
High ticket offer?
​Coach a conversion.

Ron

Runs a luxury transfer service in South Africa. Transfers can happen from the airport/to the airport. He also does trips to various places in the country.

He has a list of 2,000 people - mostly unengaged because he sends all his emails manually (what in the mother of mary), irregularly, and isn't keeping them up-to-date with the business's news or offers.

When he does email through an offer, he gets traction (hello, 2,000 people!)

Ron needs more sales generally. And kinda fast.

There will be:

An email hosting platform signup - like yesterday.

All email addresses transferred to that platform and an immediate email sent out to see which emails are still active.

Then the list will be PURGED. CLEANSED. CULLED. Any inactive emails will be removed.

Now we have data that we can actually use - what are the open rates? What are the click-through rates?

We will put together a re-engagement sequence - sending people to his most popular (irresistible) offer, for which there will be a mid-length landing page with a LOT of photos (because who isn't tempted by photos of the African bush at sunset, I mean come ON)...

In short:

πŸ‘‰ He will get automated... (it's 2024, Ron)

πŸ‘‰ He will need a reconversion device (the landing page)...

πŸ‘‰ And a re-engagement chain (the emails).

​

Ron and Ivy.

πŸ‘‰ Very different needs

πŸ‘‰ Very different approaches

πŸ‘‰ Very different strategies

​

If you take one thing away from this, it's to think about hiring a copywriter, just for an hour, for strategy.

​I'm available. ;)

The Story Team: Shit Hot Conversion Copywriting and Content Creation

It's true, Reader Low-key is over. You're done with low-key. Low key is boring as fugg, mediocre, sad. It's the generic bollocks that ChatGPT spits out when you ask it for an email sequence. It's the bro marketers who keep telling you that you should be making millions of dollars from LinkedIn. It's daily posts that say the same thing as everyone else. You? You are high-key. You vibrate with excellence. You have a message. A story. A purpose. What is it? Because here's the thing. And I've...

The Story Team: Shit Hot Conversion Copywriting and Content Creation

You ever wish you could sit your younger self down and give yourself a pep talk? Because SAME. If I could zap back to my 20s, I'd pull myself towards myself and say... 'Self, why are you letting these colleagues belittle and bully you in front of other people?' 'Self, don't marry that guy - it is going to end in utter effing disaster and you are better than that.' 'Self, THROW THAT OUTFIT AWAY - It is not serving you.' And my younger me would roll her eyes and say, 'Urgh, you don't know me,...

Is it time to stop the content grind?

Oh HEY THERE, Reader! Happy happy 2025. What a time to be alive, hey. The world feels BROKEN. Just absolute bonkersness all around. Skeletal bodies ruling Hollywood. Skeletal minds ruling LinkedIn. I don't know about you, but I'm finding LinkedIn BONKERZZZ. Mad. Insane. I took a break from posting and consuming content on LinkedIn over the holidays, and I felt the hugest sense of relief. I was notified though about people who were posting - the 'gurus' mainly. They posted every single day....
