Boost Conversions by Reading Books
If you want to get better results from your ad copy, there are some great books that can help you. These inexpensive books can teach you a great deal about writing copy and marketing. Some of the best books are on copywriting, though you may be surprised how much you can learn from books that are off-topic, too.
Great writers improve their writing by reading books. This is a great way to improve your skills in the copywriting field, too. Today, I’ll offer you a few suggestions for books that will quickly boost your copywriting results.
Here are three books on the subject of copywriting, and one is off the subject, that I have for you.
My first recommendation is The Robert Collier Letter Book, by Robert Collier. This book has become a classic in the copywriting and marketing industry. Collier himself wrote many of the ads in the book. While the language is somewhat antiquated, giving an old-fashioned feel, the basic principles of the book still stand the test of time.
John E. Kennedy’s Reason Why Advertising is a fantastic book. It is harder to find than the others. At the end of this article, I will provide you with resources to find books like this.
My fourth recommendation is off-topic, but still relevant. While it isn’t about copywriting, it is about selling. You can enjoy this book at any time - in a house, with a mouse, or with a fox in a box! Check out Green Eggs and Ham, by Dr. Seuss.
You may be surprised to learn that Green Eggs and Ham can teach you persistence when making your sales. Learn how to come to an agreement with your potential clients so they become paying customers. It may seem silly, but you can learn important marketing lessons from Dr. Seuss.
I promised you a valuable resource, and here it is. Check out www.SFSBookstore.com. Bret Ridgeway of Speaker Fulfillment Services runs the site. His specialty is finding hard-to-find books on copywriting and marketing. If you are looking for any similar books, I heartily recommend checking out his site.
Buying good books on copywriting is a great investment in your business. The books I have recommended here will be valuable additions to your copywriting library. They don’t cost much, and you’ll get a great return on your investment. The lessons you learn will pay off in ways you can’t even imagine.
