There are many different ways to grow a business.

The key is finding the ones that require the least effort but have the biggest impact.

Copywriting is one of those ways.

This guide will teach you:

#1.) What copywriting is

#2.) Why it is one of the easiest ways to grow your business

#3.) Results other businesses have achieved with proper copywriting

Let’s get started.

What is Copywriting?

Simply put, copywriting is a special form of writing designed to get people to buy or take an action.

By knowing the right words to say (and when to say them), you can convince more people to buy from you.

Best of all, copywriting works in ANY industry (no matter how obscure).

What Copywriting Can Do For You

If you’re feeling a bit skeptical, take a look at these stats.

79% of people only read headlines.

It doesn’t matter how awesome your writing is if nobody actually reads it. By using subheadings, bullets, and other copywriting strategies, you can capture the attention of “skimmers” and draw them into your message.

So even if someone just “skims” the article, they get value out of it.

Most people only read 20% of a page’s content.

Once you get them on your page, you need to hold their attention long enough to explain why your product is the right choice.

Without proper copywriting, you’re losing prospects prematurely.

Writing at a third-grade reading level gets 36% more responses.

Many businesses think they need to use big fancy words to appear professional. Turns out, this isn’t true. Copywriting is all about communicating ideas as simply as possible.

Buyers don’t want to waste neurons deciphering jargon-filled writing (no matter how “formal” your industry is).

Custom call-to-actions can increase clicks by 202%.

By personalizing your CTA to your customer’s journey and using specific CTA copy in your links and buttons, you can potentially DOUBLE the number of customers who click.

It seems insignificant, but optimizing little things like this can make a big impact on your bottom line.

Adding testimonials can boost conversions by 34%.

Testimonials are one of many types of “social proof” that help back up the claims your business makes. By sprinkling these trust-builders throughout your website and marketing, you’re more likely to convince prospects that you can solve their problems.

Social proof is one of the best ways to build trust and confidence with people who have never heard of your business before.

How Copywriting Increases Revenue

Now that we’ve seen some statistics, let’s look at real results businesses have seen with copywriting:

Online wine merchant uses copywriting to 10x revenue per email sent.

Power washing company uses copywriting to transform a failed marketing campaign into a $13,202 of new business.

Shoe repair shop tweaks the message on their street sign and increases walk-ins by 50% (an extra $100K+ in revenue/year).
