Online Copywriting 101: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet
Blues icon B.B. King was once asked how he found his heart-warming, bone-chilling sound. “It’s simple,” he said. “I only steal from the best.”
After publishing more than 2 million words — online and print — we’re convinced that King was right. To become a good writer, one must first be a studious reader. (How else will you know whom to steal, er, borrow from?) So, in that spirit, we’ve compiled a list of some of GrokDotCom’s favorite Web copy resources in hopes that copywriters everywhere will steal the best tips from our colleagues, friends, and staff. Enjoy!

Copyrighting is extremely important for sales. I am an adwords advertiser, so writing great ad copy and headlines is essential in order to increase click throughs. One thing to keep in mind, that in sales, you want to land the sale on the spot. Don’t write so much copy that you will bore the reader. Make sure that the headline is catchy and informative, make it stand out by using H1 or H2 tags, and input the most important information about your product or service in the first few sentences. If you do all of this, along with great copyrighting, you increase your chances for business.
