This document provides a process for writing an effective sales page in 3 stages:
1. Get answers by researching the target audience, their current and desired situations, problems preventing their desired situation, and how the product solves their problem.
2. Targeted breakdowns of other successful sales pages to identify common elements and page structure.
3. Plug the answers from research into the identified sales page structure/skeleton to guide the reader through a similar emotional journey and promote the product. Taking this approach leverages existing successful templates.

Sales pages are really “written” during the research. Rookie copywriters write blindly, while the real pros take time to arm themselves before a single word is written. Step 1 - Get clarity from your client Who is the target audience? Rough Demographics (Age, gender, income, family status, location, etc) Values, prejudices etc? What outside forces do they blame for keeping them back? Once you know WHO you’re talking to, it is time for you to go through the fundamental 4 questions Question 1 - What is their current state and why don't they like it? Question 2 - What is their dream state and why do they want it? Question 3 - What problems are stopping them specifically what part of the problem do they not understand? Question 4 - What makes the product special/unique (and how can you tie that uniqueness to the part of the problem they don't yet understand)? Bonus Question - How did your client discover this solution to the problem? Go through these questions with your client, pour over their reviews and case studies as well. Step 2 - Widen your search Once you have a rough idea on these points it’s time to gather outside information List all current options are they currently using to solve this problem or get this dream result. What do they like about these options? What do they dislike about these options? Where to go for answers? Go on Amazon.com and look at reviews Search Reddit Use the Google discussions chrome extension to search through forums And importantly (this leads us to the next stage) search their competitors websites and product pages. STAGE 2 - TARGETED BREAKDOWNS After you've done your preliminary research and have gathered the needed ammunition for writing out a full-fledged sales page It's time to find the right skeleton for your page. You're going to look for 4-5 sales pages that are either in your market, from a related market, or for a related product that are doing really well. Read them all and find 2 that you really like Break these 2 down line by line, Look for WHAT they're doing, look for HOW they're doing it and look for WHY they're doing what they’re doing with each element of the page. Then pick 1 of them and use its skeleton to build your own sales letter Look at its format and the sequencing of ideas and use that outline to write your sales page Basically you'll be finding a way to take your reader through a similar emotional and intellectual journey with your own sales page. Then you take all the answers to your previous questions that you got during the research phase and plug them into this new skeleton you identified In our future trainings we're going to go over some of the common elements you'll find in sales letters and develop a generic outline for sales letters you can use, But this is the quickest and most effective way to get a high quality sales letter put together for your clients Questions?
