Website copy writing is one of the most essential skills to have if you're promoting anything online. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost. But forget everything you've been told about copywriting -it's all wrong!

They say you need to hire a copy writer - they are wrong! Hiring a copywriter is the WORST thing that you can do. Even if grammatically correct, their copy will disappoint. It will be empty and lack that magic ingredient that your customers will love - YOU! Only you have the unique mix of knowledge, passion and experience that could create a special bond with your customers.

They say you haven't the time to write and if you did it wouldn't be good enough - they are wrong! They create and foster this false idea to keep your self confidence low instead I show you how easy it can be. How easy you will find writing headlines and creating copy using the exact same techniques that turned be from a student who failed school English twice to a successful writer, editor and communications consultant!

They say you won't understand - they are wrong! If you refuse to struggle with their 300 page stale text books or heavy academic courses, don't hire a copy writer, don't let pencil heads and grammarians worry or undermine your confidence you can and will succeed through simple, practical step-by-step lessons.

They don't want you to realise that you are the best person to create your copy so that you keep paying them.

They are the mix of copy writers, dusty academics, and grammarians that like to feel superior. These pencil heads relish in pointing out mistakes we make and undermining us so we never learn. It may not even be an official conspiracy with an evil mastermind in a secret HQ but it's still as effective. When have you ever heard a copywriter say "No, you should be writing this instead" or "You have the knowledge and passion that I can't match"?

Never! Not a chance. They want to keep you right where you are and bill you again and again knowing that you'll never realise how easy it can be to create your own copy, or that you're the best person to do it.

It's time to fight back and break free from this writing trap and start creating your own compelling copy. This will help you build a unique bond with your customer built on your passion and knowledge and their growing trust and respect in you. So fire that copy writer and take control of your own website!
