  • Let’s get physical! Today we’re going to talk about the physical parts of your offer- i.e. anything tangible (think workbooks, swag, meal plans, etc) but also the modules of your digital courses. Essentially, anything that the client gains access to after they purchase your offer.

    But how much emphasis should you be placing on those tangible things in your sales copy? What should you be highlighting on your sales page and in your sales emails to emphasize the big picture results you’re promising?

    In this episode, we’re going to take a closer look at:

    Why knowing your audience is critical How taking into account their past experiences can help you in your offer

    Becoming more familiar with your audience helps you know exactly what parts of your offer you need to emphasize to get them to buy. Remember: you’re selling a possibility, and you don’t need to clutter that up with endless lists of all the things your clients will get. The desired transformation will look different for every customer, so paint them a broader picture, and let them fill in their own blanks.

  • One of the most common mistakes I see in sales copy is a lack of narrative structure. Most of the time, this issue lives on the sales page. I’m not saying you need to weave an epic tale of love loss and adventure), but infusing key storytelling elements into the foundations of what you’re offering goes a long way in enlivening your copy and making it more likely to connect and convert. In this episode we’ll talk more about:

    Why a narrative structure is important in your copy How informative, engaging copy can save you time and energy

    Again, I’m not telling you to tell a tale worthy of an Oprah endorsement
 but some well-crafted, compelling copy that reveals a bit more about YOUR story can go a long way in attracting clients. It makes you relatable, and makes your potential customer feel like they know you and can trust your intentions.

  • Figuring out your offer differentiator is CRITICAL. It can really make or break your launch. Why are people going to choose YOUR offer if they don’t know why it’s better than all the other ones out there?

    In this episode we take a closer look at:

    How to identify the ways that your offer fills gaps that no one else does Ways to capitalize on that in your copy

    Making your program’s differences obvious for the client will go a long way, and reinforcing those differences on your sales pages and emails will drive your point home.

    It also helps take the work out of the process for the buyer; their mind is made up before they even feel like they have to go look at an alternative program.

  • Let’s talk launches, baby! I’m talking about what you should do prior to a launch in order to set yourself up for success. So often, business owners want to jump right into launching their offer and skip some vital steps that could really benefit them in the long run when it comes to connections and conversions.

    Here are some tips I offer on this episode:

    Asking Your Audience What They Want Keeping Things Simple Setting Goals

    EP #27 - Why We NEED to Talk About Problems in Sales Copy: https://megantaylor.co/blog/client-problems-26/

  • In this episode, I’ll be covering why, contrary to popular belief, pain points are STILL important to address in your sales copy. There are many people who think avoiding pain points is the recipe for success, but I believe it’s imperative to cover them in your copy.

    Connection-driven copy is what will convert readers into customers, and effectively covering pain points in your copy can really help you achieve this. I’m making a case for weaving empathy into pain points in your copy in order to build trust with your audience.

    Here are a few topics I cover:

    Addressing Pain Points Correctly Heaven vs. Hell Messaging Thinking of Pain Points as Salt Problems vs. Pain Points Using Empathy Surrounding Pain Points

    I hope that this episode provides insight into why it’s so important to cover the pain points of your customers in your sales copy. Ignoring these is a huge mistake. And without addressing pain points, you’ll miss out on building trust with your audience. This can leave them feeling unheard and unseen.
