Power Transitions to Keep Your Visitor Reading

Power Transitions




Power transitions will help you keep the reader's attention, all the way through to the order form.  They are very simple to use.

Headlines are not meant to sell the product, but to get the visitor to read the first paragraph.  To keep the visitor reading, you can use sub headings, which is why good copy uses sub heads, but there is another way to keep visitors reading and that is by using power transitions.

Power transitions are like paragraph headlines, as is it the first sentence of each paragraph that sells the visitor to carry on reading, instead of skimming, or even worse leaving never to come back.

Below is a power transition swipe file, so you can use them to encourage people to keep reading.  Don't use them on every paragraph, but sparingly every 2 or 3 paragraphs to get those visitors reading to the end of your copy.

22. However, here is a curious fact:
23.   But what's next?
24.  Let us press on.
25.  But you know what?
26.  Onward.
27.   One other thing:

31.  Another example:
32.   Did it work?
33.  What's that?
34.   But, there's only one way:
35.   How simple is it?
36.    So what? Well here is the “so what” of it:
37.  Whatever you do, don't try to...

62.    Even better...
63.    Best of all:

65.    Now the specifics:
66.    One last thought:
67.     Pay careful attention.
68.     That's the bad news. The good news is...
69.      Now I'd like to emphasize something here:
70.      Know this:

72.      Let's push on.

97.    I could hardly believe it;
98.    Are you kidding?
