From SEO to content marketing to even link building…I've created a lot of guides over the past twelve months about traffic acquisition. But what I haven't touched on much is the topic of optimizing your site for conversions. One way to do this is by modifying elements on your web page, and another way is by optimizing your copy.

Today, I have a new guide to announce. With the help of Joseph Putnam, I was able to create another guide for you… The Definitive Guide to Copywriting.

Here is what you will learn in this 30,000-plus-word guide:

• Introduction – an overview of what you are going to learn.
• Chapter 1: Laying a Solid Foundation – if you don't understand every detail of what you are going to be writing about, you can't start writing. Before you start writing, you need to know what you are selling and to whom you are selling.
