Making More Money Through Web Content And Copy

Websites all contain some form of Web copy and/or Web content. This content and copy can make you money all by itself, or it can help you with making more money. To begin, you need to know what the difference is between Web content and copy.

Web content keeps websites full of items that will entertain and inform the site's readers. Web content consists of most articles on a website. Other forms of content include photos, videos, and audio files. Web content is often used by online businesses in order to attract customers.

Web copy is the copy used by a site in order to get a particular type of response- often used by businesses to persuade the reader. Copy may encourage readers to buy something, to sign up for something (such as an email newsletter), or even to click on a specific link on your website. Web copy is also the slogan on the site, the more practical pages, such as media and contact pages, which all work to project the site's image.

So how can Web content and Web copy help you make more money? Here's how:

Web content- many sites depend on their content for most, or even all, of their incomes. There are plenty of large and small sites that use their content to bring in money- larger ones are content networks, such as About.com. If the Web content is there, the readers will come, but the site has to have ads to bring in the money, or a membership fee will have to be charged to read that content. There are many ways to use your web content to make more money:

1. When publishing Web content, make sure it is the best quality you can get. Quality content that entertains and informs will bring in more reader, attract more backlinks, and is normally search engine optimized. All of this will bring you more visitors to the site, a higher placement in the search engines, and more money in your pocket.

2. Keep your website fresh with new Web content. To keep readers coming back again, keep the site updated regularly with new content- as readers come back again, your traffic counts go up and you make more money from that content. Web content updates should be as frequent as possible, even if it is only updated once a week or month.

3. Your content should be something that will attract new readers. Research topics and keywords by using Wordtracker or Overture and find out what is currently popular. While quality content doesn't need to be stuffed with keywords to rank well in search engines, it does need to address a need of your target readers. If there are a lot of searches going on to find certain information, there may be a need for content with that information. The keywords being searched are just half of the story- also look at the number of results available and decide how well that market is already being filled.

Web copy - Webmasters use Web copy to get their readers to come back again, to buy something through the site, or to get them to come back to the site again and again. A very common example of Web copy would be an online sales letter used to sell an e-book, often containing large bold subheadings and flashy, colored copy with testimonials and multiple chances to place an order.

The Web copy used to sell an item doesn't have to be that flashy. All order pages have copy that is meant to persuade and to get an immediate purchase of the items, and perhaps even more items as well. Some Web copy relies on guarantees to persuade readers to buy the item right then without worrying the outcome.

Copywriting is a blend of words and psychology to get the desired outcome from the site's visitors. To get the best copy, you can hire a professional to write it for you, or you can study it yourself- either way, you need effective copy to turn visitors into buyers and make you more money.
