Writing a social media post or email campaign can be intimidating. Below are a few rules to consider and examples for each. Then we'll put it all together at the end.
Keep it short and easy
Make your call to action clear
Use words that evoke interest or emotion
Use video or images (if applicable)
Keep it short and easy
Considering someone's time is paramount in our society, and since people are more distracted than ever, it's crucial to grab your reader quickly. Try describing what you're offering in just one sentence. And if you can, do it at a 7th-grade level instead of over-complicating your messaging. For example, "I invested in this technology that allows you to track your home's value and discover ways to leverage your equity."
Make your call to action clear
Capturing leads with the Homeowner PURL is a two-step process. To become a new lead in your database, they're required to enter their home address and email. You'll want to clarify this to avoid missing out on potential business. Keep it simple like this, "Click on the link below to find out what your home is worth and then enter your email address..."
Use words that evoke interest or emotion
Want to get your reader to click without even thinking about it? Appealing to human emotion can do just that. If you know your audience well, try appealing to their interests. If you can do both, write with emotion and to their specific interests, even better. It can be as simple as "...start building more wealth today to save for that vacation rental tomorrow."
Use video or images (if applicable)
If you're comfortable in front of the camera and feel your audience engages at a higher rate that way, consider turning your script into a quick 60-second video. Or, if you have a great image to accompany the post, use that instead.
Now let's put it all together:
"I invested in this technology that allows you to track your home's value and discover ways to leverage your equity. Click on the link below to find out what your home is worth, and then enter your email address so you can start building more wealth!"
You may also consider using the structure of an elevator pitch to craft your post.
The structure includes a:
Hook
Problem
Solution
Closing
The opening sentence should immediately grab the audience's attention and evoke curiosity or emotion. The following sentence should support the initial statement, often by presenting relevant data. The third sentence should present your offer, and the final sentence should be your closing or call to action (CTA).
