It's Not Just Words: How to Write Content That Converts

By Vinay Mangal
Writing Notes

Many businesses treat website text as a placeholder—something to fill the empty spaces between images. This is a massive mistake. Your words are your 24/7 salesperson.

1. Focus on the Reader, Not Yourself

The biggest mistake in marketing copy is talking about your company's features. Nobody cares about your "synergistic AI-driven paradigms." They care about what it can do for them. Good copy translates features into benefits.

  • Bad: "We sell ergonomic chairs."
  • Good: "Enjoy back pain relief and work comfortably for hours."

2. Clarity Trumps Cleverness

Creative wordplay is fun, but if it confuses your reader, it fails. The goal is to be understood instantly. Use simple, direct language. If a 5th grader can't understand what you're offering, you've made it too complicated.

3. Guide Them to the Next Step

Every piece of content should have a purpose. What do you want the reader to do after they've finished reading? Subscribe? Contact you? Don't leave them guessing. End every page with a clear Call to Action (CTA).
