#2 - Don't Be Coy

Feed your prospect juicy bits of helpful information that will get their hearts pumping with excitement. Make them feel how good it will be to have your product or use your service.

#5 - Be Overwhelming
A sales letter is no time to be modest. Overwhelm your prospects with benefits and helpful advantages. The more benefits you offer, the higher your response.

#6 - One-on-One
Your message isn't being displayed to an audience of a thousand people; it's being read by just one pair of eyes. So write as though you're talking to a person, not to a group. Use “you” and “I’ throughout the copy and try to avoid “we” and “our”.

#7 - Personality is Always in Style
Inject style and personality into your sales letter. It’s this kind of personal touch that gives your pitch originality and distinction, and underscores the "this is just for your" quality of your message.

#8 - Lean Cuisine
Put your copy on a diet. "Trim the fat" by eliminating excess words. Be direct. Be hard-hitting. And above all: be clear

#9 - Be A Verbal Van Gogh
Use your words to create vivid pictures. Help your prospect visualize reaping the rewards themselves which will also allow them to feel it emotionally.

#10 - Break It Up!
Break up your messages into short paragraphs and small segments. Make sure you layout offers plenty of white space. The more you can break up your text into short sentences and paragraphs, the easier it is for prospects to read.

You can turn your Edsel of a sales letter into a high-performance model with just a few minor adjustments and no expensive "'parts" to buy. Then shift into high gear and let your competitors eat your dust!
