Copywriting Masterclass: Writing That Sells

I’m going to try and answer two questions which are probably on your mind.

1.Who’s Ivan Bayross?

2.Why should I learn copywriting from him?

Hi I'm Ivan,

I've been a digital marketer for at least last 30+ years. Planning, executing, monitoring, tweaking, digital marketing strategy, for myself or a client, that delivers a measurable Return On Investment, intrigues and engages me completely.

Digital marketing constantly brings breathtaking changes to traditional marketing.

Today Digital Marketing:

• Always drives web site conversions, sales and income northwards
• Is never the same old set of processes, repeated mindlessly & boringly
• Is alive. It constantly changes and evolves
• It’s driven by the wants/needs, pain and frustration of customers & marketplaces
• Which is why digital marketing is my 2nd great love

Yup, I know I'm of the lucky ones.

Everything about digital marketing I've learn't in life, has been through making mistakes.

Most of these were my mistakes. I also learned a little from the mistakes of others.

Trust me, nothing teaches you better than mistakes. Provided you are willing, and able, to learn from mistakes.

In my humble opinion, success teaches you measurably little. Although that does sound a tad controversial.

I'm also blessed with awesome mentors all my life.

My professional life started as merchant navy, deck officer. That gave me discipline and resilience. I also became very friendly with hard work.

After I left the merchant navy, I've morphed into an internationally published author. My 1st love has always been tech and coding. Hence I dare call myself a techno geek.

Over many person years, I’ve evolved into a halfway decent business mentor.

My M. Tech plus Business Studies from Manchester University, UK, has always been my basic academic support. Cynthia, my wife of 45+ years, and I, owned and ran a software development company in Mumbai for about 33+ years. We've done a ton of coding for clients across the Globe.

During this exciting journey, I wrote and published 80+ books. I still write every day.

A ton of my books are available on Amazon . Click the link adjacent and check them out.

After spending 33+ years executing various software projects for clients globally I decided I wanted to do something completely different. Reading the book THE 4 HOUR WORK WEEK – by Timothy Ferriss was my tipping point.

I wanted to:

Ø Lead a less stressful life

Ø I wanted to travel the world

Ø Cynthia can travel at the drop of a hat. Me? Not so much

Ø Today, I've visited various places across the globe

Ø I'm definitely a happier human being today

My Family Is The Center Of My Universe.

My wife Cynthia is on the left. That's me in the middle. Our daughter Chriselle is on the right. This is a picture taken on our 45th wedding anniversary. ( Yup you read that right 45th is not a typo.)

That's my niece's son Rahul, I'm carrying. My niece, her husband and their two children live in Hoboken, New York.

Are you wondering what’s digital marketing got to do with copywriting?

Hold that thought it’s a great one.

All Digital Marketing processes run on content. Content which must arrest, engage and compel readers to do what the marketer wants them to do. i.e. BUY.

Truly, no one can claim to be a successful digital marketer without being intimate with crafting copy which sells like crazy, consistently. All great marketers must be awesome copywriters.

I hope I’ve given you a great answer your absolutely valid question above.

Crafting awesome copy which arrests, engages and sells like crazy must first build, then deepen the levels of trust between a reader and the webpage content.

Remember, part of trust building is exposing weaknesses. Copywriters intentionally focus on flaws and imperfections, creatively, when selling products/services.

This helps makes the selling experience of their products/services more human, believable and therefore more desirable to their readers/prospects.

Nobody TRUSTS PERFECTION.

(i.e. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.)

Conversational copywriting will bring readers/prospects to the point of desiring to purchase BUT they all need a nudge to actually make the purchase.

This is where your ability to craft a powerful Call To Action becomes crucial.

We are going to cover all of this and tons more in this copywriting course.

Let’s meet on the other side. Let’s catch up soon.
