Bullet Writing Examples You Can Swipe

Today,I’ll be showing you how to create bullets so irresistible that will arouse your prospects curiousity to the point that they’ll get your products.But first,let me define what a bullet is in case you don’t know.

A bullet is a statement of fact that contains information that is of much benefit to your reader or prospect.Basically,to create one,you read the material and then for each paragraph(I’m assuming you are creating the bullets for an ebook but it will as well work for other infoproducts such as videos,audios and even physical products) or page,depending on how you want to do it,you create a single sentence that caps up what that paragraph or page is saying in such a way that it delivers some benefits to the reader so much that she will want to get the full scoop.

And you know the only way she can get the full scoop?That’s right-by getting your ebook (or whatever it is you are selling).

Also,you need to know that there are various ways to write bullets.Although I won’t be going into that in details today,I’ll give you some of them.

From AWAI,we have:

1.Revelation bullets

2.Semi-revelation bullets

3.Can’t be done bullets

From Bob Bly,here are 3 ways to write bullets:

1.Use a number

How to write bullets for your copy

The other day I was passing by a laundry shop in Brookly and outside their window,they put a signpost which said”We have giant 30Lbs dryers”.On seeing this,as a professional copywriter myself,I asked myself “So what?”.Nobody cares about what you have or what you don’t have.People only care about themselves and what they stand to gain from what you are saying.

So what does this have to do with copywriting?Actually, a lot.Because your copy must always be written in such a way that it tells your prospect what he stands to gain from using your product.That is to say that your copy must be more about your prospects and what they stand to gain than about your products.

And this is the reason why companies that engage in institutional advertising never make it or at the most only manage to braek even-because they focus more on what their company is about by saying things such as “We have been in existence for the past 150 years”,”We are the best in town”,and other such related things.

Now don’t get me wrong here.Saying these things is not necessarily wrong as a statement such as “We have been in existence for the past 150 years”could mean that by reason of your been in existence that long,you have a lot of experience in that industry and know what you are doing,amongst other things.But if that is all that you trumpet in your copy,then you are completely missing the boat.

So in the case of the laundry business guys above,if underneath their signpost they had added the following:

“That means that you save time since you won’t have to wait for the dryer to finish drying one set of clothes before putting in the next set or even having to use a second dryer,thereby costing you more money.It also means that you save energy and resources and will be out of here to carry out your other businesses for the day in no time flat ”.Now you’re talking.Because who doesn’t want to save time,money,energy and resources and go on to do other more productive things for the day?I sure do.

So the next time you are writing your copy,make sure it tells the prospect what she stands to gain-in the headline,the lead,the body copy,the offer…you getthe point.Now go put this to work friend.
