You're being lied to.

Everywhere you turn someone's pushing down your throat the belief that the secret to earning big money online is to drive tons of traffic to your site.

But I'm here to tell you the truth.

Even thought traffic is huge, the real “secret” is converting more of your visitors into buyers. You do this by crafting yourself the best grab them by the throat sales letter and proposition, and you make it downright impossible for the majority to refuse.

Just look at the facts, and you be the judge…

Imagine you're driving 300 visitors a day to your site, and sell 1 in 100 of your prospects.

Sure, you can begin a massive promotion and drive 900 visitors to your site, making 9 sales a day. Or, you can polish up your sales letter and turn 1 in 3 into buyers and sell 9 without increasing your traffic.

Just think of the money you'll save, and make, on polishing your sales presentation.

Now that you know the importance, how do you put it to work? There are a couple of options.

First, you can hire someone to do the writing. Find a copywriter that shows you samples and writes in a style that you want on your site.

Second, you can do it yourself.

Start with a headline. Right up front give your products strongest benefit. Make a promise in your headline, and then explain how the promise and benefits work to the customers potential in the body of your sales letter.

Create the main part of your sales letter as if it's so irresistible that no one can refuse. Give them strong benefits. Show them your product is a huge value that can't be missed.

Close your sales letter with the disadvantages of not accepting your offer. In the beginning, explain the downside, and end the proposition with the down side.

Give a strong satisfaction guarantee, and you've got a sales letter that grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go until they input their credit card information.

Of course, this is a basic list of your sales letters goal. There are plenty of resources and articles online that will teach you the complete story on banging out a sales letter that works. Explore and learn. Never give up the pursuit of making a sales letter that puts money in your pocket. It's the best time and money investment you'll ever make for your business.
