Product Description
A guide to creating copy that connects with customersand makes the sale
Advertising and promotion professionals have long known that, while bells and whistles may grab a customer's attention, words make the sale. Yet, nearly a decade into the Web revolution, E-commerce professionals are just now waking up to the fact that the usual high-tech, graphics-heavy approach to site design is bad for business.
Net Words explores the reasons why and makes a strong case for a revolutionary new approach to copywriting tailored to the unique demands of a powerful new medium. With the help of dozens of examples of successful and unsuccessful on-line writing, author Nick Usborne shows readers how to harness the power of the written word for the Web. Readers learn how to imbue a business with a distinctive on-line "voice" and use it to forge lasting bonds with customers, increase market share, and close sales.
From the Back Cover
Bells and whistles may grab a customer's attention, but words make the sale
"The ancients rightly distrusted rhetoric that made 'the worse argument appear the better'an underhanded trick that business has often been guilty of. But rhetoric is also the craft of clear and persuasive communication, which online business needs desperately today. Nick Usborne's insight into this craft fills a surprising gap in the online marketing toolbox."Christopher Locke, author of Gonzo Marketing: Winning Through Worst
Practices, and co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto.
"The best book I've seen on writing for the Web."Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, Web Marketing Today
"Nick Usborne, shows us how to write powerful and compelling copy that fully leverages the communications power of the Net. Nick knows the Internet and Nick knows copy."
John Audette Founder & Publisher, The Adventive Knowledge Exchange

Customer Reviews
An invaluable guide to achieving subtlety and a sense of amity in e-mails, web sites and e-newsletters. And what a relief to find it written in a manner that makes for easy reading! If you are interested in the subject, the book avoids flooding that interest out of you in a slurry of data...
I did feel a little more detail could have been provided in a couple of the chapters, before remembering that this is a book about how you WRITE on-line, rather than how you GET words on-line. If you're tasked with writing copy, on-line, now... this is an ideal introduction to both the art and science
Actually, it may well deserve that fifth star.
