Words are powerful.The right words will convince your website visitors to buy your products and services, while the wrong words will either offend them or, even worse, leave absolutely no impression on them. Carefully selected wordswill attract the attention you desire and entice your website visitors to take action.

You see, human beings are hard-wired to respond when they’re led by their emotions rather than their logic. In the highly popular book, “The E-Myth: Why Most Business Don’t Work and What to Do About It,” bestselling author Michael E. Gerber explains that consumers think with their hearts first, their heads second. Essentially, this means that potential customers put a priority on things that they want over things they need, often trying to justify their purchase with logic after they’ve already decided to make the purchase.

For example, have you ever seen something that you really wanted but were hesitant to buy because of the price, or perhaps some other reason? You might have talked yourself into the purchase by finding logical reasons to make the purchase. Let’s say you normally buy used cars, but on a trip to the dealership, you come across a brand new, sparkling vehicle that piques your interest. You take a test drive and fall in love with the car; according to Michael Gerber, at this point, you’ve already decided on the purchase, but now you need to make your logical self feel better about it. So you reason that a new car will help you save money with less upkeep, better gas mileage, lower insurance costs, etc., along with providing greater reliability than a used car could. Once you convince your logical self to make the purchase, the next thing you know, you’re signing on the dotted line.

Since you don’t have a shiny new vehicle or seasoned salespeople to tempt and sway customers, you have to rely on powerful words within your website copy to convince them that they just have to have what you’re selling, right now!

Some of the most powerful words to use when selling products and services online are:

· Crucial

· Bottom line

· Breakthrough

· Easy

· Effective

· Free

· Groundbreaking

· High yield

· Innovative

· Last chance

· Limited time

· New

· Novel

· Results oriented

· Rewards

· Revolutionary

Of course, the words you choose for your website copy should be honest and never misleading. The last thing you want to do is promise the moon when you can only deliver a star or two. With that being said, don’t be afraid to toot your own horn or, better yet, have someone else (ie. a professional copywriter) talk you up. If you’re great at what you do and your products and services can make your clients’ lives better in some way, shape or form, your website is the place to let it be known.

The bottom line is that you should choose the words for your website and marketing promotions very carefully, using plenty of power words to entice website visitors to buy what you’re selling.

Re: Who Did You Learn Most From and Why? - Hi Martin, You missed out on the most essential community that helps you grow - Your Clients. Well, I believe that my Initial Clients have been the ones who have given me the moments of 'aha' in my business. They have stood by me even when I was a starter and that has helped me shape and build my stand. They have helped me grow as an entrepreneur, learn to have loads of patience and make the most of what comes across. They have also helped me to strengthen me as a person. btw, personally speaking, my Grandfather always kept me on track and lent me emotional support when I was down in any matter - be it business or otherwise.
