DONE 4 YOU SALES COPYWRITING

Here are my done-4 -you sales copy specialties... 

ONLINE SALES PAGES

These are by far the most important part of your sales funnel and need to be your #1 priority before having any other marketing assets created.

Without a high-converting sales page, it doesn’t matter how much traffic you drive, how good your emails are, or how great your product is—people won’t buy.

A great sales page does all the heavy lifting:

✔ It grabs attention immediately—so people don’t bounce in the first five seconds.

✔ It connects emotionally—so they feel like you truly understand their problem.

✔ It builds trust—so they don’t second-guess whether you’re the real deal.

✔ It crushes objections—so doubts don’t get in the way of them saying YES.

✔ It closes the sale—turning browsers into buyers.

And here’s the thing: writing a great sales page is HARD.

It takes deep research. It takes the right storytelling.

It takes knowing exactly how to push the right psychological buttons to move people to action.

That’s why most businesses either:

🚨 Slap together a weak sales page that doesn’t convert.

🚨 Use AI copy that sounds robotic and soulless.

🚨 Hire a cheap copywriter and wonder why it flops.

That’s NOT what you want.

The sales pages I write? They’re built to convert.

They’re usually 2,500 to 5,000 words because you need depth to truly persuade.

But they never feel that long as each section is designed to pull the reader forward until buying feels like the obvious next step.

Bonus: I also write all the critical FAQ sections, order form copy, and risk-reversal elements that most copywriters forget, because these details make a massive difference in conversions.

🚨 Warning: Since this is the Mercedes-Benz of copywriting services, it is NOT cheap.

I dedicate an average of four full weeks to crafting your sales page. That includes:

🛠  Deep research on your product, market, and competitors.

💡 Brainstorming and testing to find the best way to sell it.

✍️ Writing, rewriting, and refining every single word until it’s PERFECT.

Yes, it’s an investment.

But when your sales page knocks it out of the park, it can bring in profits for years to come.

👉 Let’s talk about getting you a sales page that actually sells.

ADVERTORIALS 

In 2025 (and beyond) advertorials are CRITICAL to your success.

The reason is due to constantly decreasing attention spans, and increasing skepticism that has made sending traffic directly to your sales page less effective than it used to be. 

YES - even with a killer sales page like what I'll create for you.

Advertorials are the missing link between your ads and your offer.

Instead of screaming “BUY NOW” the moment someone clicks your ad (which triggers instant resistance), an advertorial warms them up first.

It educates. It entertains. It makes your offer feel natural instead of forced.

A well-written advertorial doesn’t sell - it pre-sells.

By the time someone reaches your sales page, they’re already nodding along, seeing themselves enjoying what you're offering and feeling like buying is their idea.

That’s the power of a great advertorial.

What Kind of Advertorial Do You Need?

There’s no one-size-fits-all template. The right advertorial for your business depends on:

✅ Your product/service – Are you selling a physical product? A digital offer? A coaching program? The approach changes depending on what you’re selling.

✅ Your audience – Are they already aware of the problem? Do they need education before they buy? Different markets respond to different styles of advertorials.

✅ Your traffic source – A Facebook advertorial reads very differently than one running on Outbrain or Taboola. Each platform has its own rules, expectations, and best practices.

I specialize in crafting custom advertorials tailored to your market, message, and media.

Here’s How I Can Help:

🔥 Full Advertorial Copywriting – I’ll write a high-converting advertorial from scratch, designed to move readers from curiosity to conversion.

🔥 Advertorial Critique & Optimization – Already have one? I’ll audit it, find the weak spots, and rewrite key sections to boost performance.

🔥 Multi-Advertorial Testing Packages – If you’re running paid traffic, you’ll need multiple angles to test. I can create 3–5 unique advertorials, so you can find the one that scales.

Bottom line? If you’re running paid traffic, you need advertorials.

Otherwise, you’re burning money on clicks that never convert.

Let’s fix that.

👉 Contact me and let’s talk about getting the perfect advertorial for your business.

EMAILS

If you’re not using email, you’re leaving money on the table.

Your email list is the most powerful sales tool you own—but only if you know how to use it correctly.

Most emails? They get ignored. Deleted. Unsubscribed from.

Why? Because they’re either too pushy, too boring, or completely forgettable.

A great email? It makes people WANT to open, read, and buy.

Why My Emails Work 

✔ They feel personal. No “Dear Valued Customer” nonsense. My emails feel like they’re written just for the reader.

✔ They tell great stories. People remember stories—not boring marketing speak. I write emails that entertain, engage, and naturally lead to a sale.

✔ They don’t sound like sales emails. Instead of screaming “BUY NOW,” my emails build desire and trust, so when the offer comes… it feels natural.

✔ They drive clicks and sales. At the end of the day, that’s the goal. Every email I write is optimized to get people to take action.

I can write your entire email funnel or audit and optimize what you already have. Either way, you’ll get email copy that actually makes you money.

👉 Let’s talk about getting your emails dialed in.

HOURLY 1-ON-1 COACHING

Sometimes, you don’t need someone to write your copy for you - you just need guidance.

COPYWRITING CRITIQUES

Already have copy written but not sure if it’s hitting the mark?

I offer in-depth copy critiques where I’ll analyze your sales page, landing page, emails, advertorials, or ads and give you expert-level feedback on what’s working, what’s not...

... and most importantly how to fix it.

This isn’t a quick skim-over with vague feedback. I go line by line and break down exactly where your copy could be stronger, clearer, or more persuasive.

I’ll show you:

🔥 Where your headline is losing people (and how to fix it)

🔥 If your hook is strong enough to hold attention

🔥 Where you need stronger emotional appeal

🔥 If you’re handling objections the right way

🔥 How to make your CTA impossible to ignore

If your copy is weak, confusing, or missing key elements...

I’ll tell you exactly what needs to change - and why.

If your copy is already strong, I’ll show you how to push it even further for maximum conversions.

This service is perfect for:

✔ Business owners who write their own copy but want expert feedback

✔ Marketers who need to improve under-performing pages or emails

✔ Copywriters who want to sharpen their skills and improve their work

I’ll deliver my critique in a detailed report or a zoom call where we go through it together.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why isn’t my copy converting?” - this is your chance to find out.

Here's What to Do Now

I used to have one of those fancy contact forms—the kind that looks slick but ends up being a magnet for spam, bots, and people trying to sell me things I don’t need.

So, I decided to go OLD SCHOOL.

No automated systems. No impersonal forms. Just real communication.

If you’re serious about working together—or just want to chat and see if I’m the right fit—here’s how to reach me:

📩 Send me an email with “COPYWRITING” in the subject line at robertseanpascoe@gmail.com.

Tell me a little about your project, what you need help with, or just introduce yourself.

📲 Shoot me a text at 727-269-1121 (yes, my actual cell phone).

Whether it’s a quick question, a request for a call, or a simple “Hey, I need help with my copy,” I’ll get back to you ASAP.

From there, we’ll set up a short, zero-pressure Zoom chat. No sales pitch. No hard close.

Just a real conversation to see what makes sense for you and your business.

If I can help you, I’ll let you know exactly how. If I think you’d be better served elsewhere, I’ll point you in the right direction.

Either way, you’ll walk away with clarity on your next steps.

So, if you’re ready to take your copy and marketing to the next level—reach out now.

I’m seriously looking forward to hearing from you.

P.S. It's totally normal to have questions and concerns, so I've prepared the following FAQ section for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me with more!

What Is Your Process of Working with Clients?

Over the years I've developed a laser-focused process for working with clients.

It all starts with an initial call to get to know each other a little better.  

I can find out more about their business, target audience, and goals for the project they are interested in having me complete.

Then if things go well, I’ll offer to send an official proposal which will include a price quote and terms for the project.

If the proposal is accepted then that’s where the HARD WORK and FUN begins.

Now, that we are officially working together we’ll have a “Kick-Off Call” where I’ll interview you to get your full story of the product or service I’ll be selling.

Then I’ll go into full “Sales Detective” mode, doing in-depth research into the WANTS, NEEDS, DESIRES, or PROBLEMS your target market is concerned with, as well as digging deep into the features and benefits of what you are selling.

This is the CRITICAL part of the whole process as I need to figuratively “get into the heads” of your ideal customer or client so I can write copy that will push the right emotional hot buttons to persuade them to buy.

Throughout the whole process, I continually seek feedback on elements like the headlines, opening, story, and especially all aspects of the offer.

I will write and re-write until I am satisfied with a first draft and then submit for feedback which I encourage to be brutally honest. Why? So I can go back and tighten things up, so the copy is as SMOOTH and PERSUASIVE as possible.

Ultimately, all that matters is the RESULTS you receive from my copywriting, and I guarantee your satisfaction, or I’ll keep re-writing until it’s achieved.

How Do I Know If You’re The Right Freelance Direct Response Copywriter For My Business?

While there are MANY great direct response copywriters, I believe I’m your best choice because I have a PROVEN SYSTEM that laser targets the most important emotional triggers that make someone buy.

This is what gives me an edge over my competitors.

I also have both the years of experience and the results to prove that I am someone YOU can count on.

So, don’t trust the health of your business to anyone who doesn’t have the…

--- > KNOWLEDGE

--- > SKILLS

--- > and SELF-CONFIDENCE

… to take on any challenge you throw at them and do whatever it takes to get you the results you need!

Can't AI Write My Copy for Me Now???

This is a tricky one.  My honest answer would be YES and NO. 

Yes, there are some REMARKABLE things that AI can do, including writing some basic copy.  And AI can be a GREAT tool to help make you more productive the same way home computers and then the internet once did. 

But it is STILL just a tool.  One that needs a skilled human to use properly.

Yes, while AI can crank out LOTS and LOTS of mediocre copy fast.  It is not able to write anywhere near the level of a world-class human copywriter.  

Will it someday?  We can't know for sure but I really don't think so. 

Why? It's because what makes a human copywriter so effective is their ability to THINK for themselves. To be able to CREATE.  To be able SOLVE PROBLEMS.  To be able to RELATE to others.

TO BE HUMAN. And that's one thing AI will never be.  

Why Should I REALLY Choose You Over Other Direct Response Copywriters?

When you are searching for a copywriter for your business, you have MANY options available. Some business owners simply go to the various job boards and hire the cheapest freelancer.

This is a GIANT mistake as you never want to settle for the budget option with something as important as writing the copy to sell your product or service.

On the other hand, there are some direct response copywriters who I feel go too far in OVER-CHARGING for their services.

Personally, I try to be as fair as possible when it comes to how I price my services and emphasize the overall VALUE a deliver from my clients. 

In fact, if I do my job right and you have the right offer is presented to the right market, then it ultimately doesn’t cost you anything to hire me.

So, the price really shouldn’t ever be your main concern with hiring a direct response copywriter but rather the RESULTS they will bring you.  And that’s what I specialize in – delivering tangible results you can enjoy as soon as possible.

I bring experience, dedication, and a commitment to excellence to all of my clients who hire me as their freelance copywriter.

What Are Some Examples of Direct Response Copywriting?

Direct response copywriting is all about prompting immediate action. Unlike other types of copywriting that aim to inform or entertain, direct response is laser-focused on conversions. Here are some common examples:

Sales Pages

Persuasive, long-form pages designed to sell a product or service online. Think of them as your virtual salesperson. A well-written sales page grabs the reader's attention, addresses their pain points, and presents your product as the ultimate solution. All while leading them toward clicking that “Buy Now” button.

Email Campaigns

Targeted messages that lead readers to click, buy, or sign up—whether it’s for a product, a webinar, or a free trial. Emails can nurture leads, follow up after a purchase, or create urgency for a limited-time offer. Direct response email campaigns often use compelling subject lines, engaging storytelling, and clear calls to action to keep readers hooked.

Direct Mail Letters

Physical mail pieces like postcards, sales letters, or catalogs that inspire recipients to respond via a call, website visit, or order form. Direct mail may feel old-school, but it remains a powerful tool for targeting specific audiences, especially in industries like real estate, insurance, or financial services.

Facebook Ads

Eye-catching ads on social media with compelling headlines, irresistible offers, and strong calls to action. These ads are short but pack a punch, often using visuals and copy that stop the scroll and drive immediate clicks.

Landing Pages

Focused web pages designed for specific campaigns, often featuring a single product or offer. A great landing page eliminates distractions and guides the visitor toward one goal, whether it’s signing up for a newsletter, downloading an eBook, or completing a purchase.

Video Scripts

Persuasive scripts for promotional videos, webinars, or video sales letters (VSLs) that drive viewers to take action. VSLs are a staple of direct response marketing, combining engaging visuals with well-crafted copy to make a strong sales pitch.

Retargeting Ads

These are follow-up ads shown to people who’ve already interacted with your brand, whether they visited your website or abandoned a shopping cart. They remind potential customers of what they’re missing and push them closer to making the decision to BUY.

Product Descriptions

Detailed descriptions that not only list a product's features but also highlight the benefits, solving a customer’s specific problem or fulfilling a desire. These are common in e-commerce and play a critical role in convincing shoppers to add items to their cart.

Lead Magnets

Copy for free resources like eBooks, checklists, or webinars offered in exchange for contact information. This type of copy focuses on the value of the freebie while setting the stage for future sales.

Order Forms and Checkout Pages

Even the forms where customers enter their payment information are opportunities for direct response copywriting. Persuasive copy here can reduce cart abandonment and ensure a smooth conversion process.

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg. Direct response copywriting can appear anywhere your audience engages with your business, from offline advertising to online campaigns. The common thread? Every word is designed to guide the audience toward one specific, measurable action.

How Does Direct Response Copywriting Increase Sales?

Direct response copywriting increases sales by engaging your audience on a personal level and motivating them to act. Unlike general content that informs or entertains, direct response copy is focused entirely on conversion.

Turning readers into customers. Here’s how it achieves this, step by step:

1. Grabbing Attention

The first challenge in any marketing effort is to stand out in a crowded, noisy marketplace. Direct response copywriting starts with a powerful headline or opening statement that pulls readers in immediately.

A great headline captures curiosity, makes a bold promise, or sparks an emotional reaction, ensuring your audience stays engaged long enough to hear what you have to say.

2. Building a Connection

Once you have their attention, the next step is to build a connection with your audience. Direct response copy achieves this by showing empathy and understanding. It addresses the reader’s pain points, frustrations, or aspirations in a way that makes them feel seen and heard.

3. Highlighting Benefits Over Features

One of the golden rules of direct response copywriting is to focus on benefits, not just features. While features explain what your product or service does, benefits show how it will improve the customer’s life.

By highlighting benefits, direct response copywriting helps potential customers envision how their lives will change after purchasing your product. This emotional appeal is what drives action.

4. Creating Urgency

Direct response copywriting often incorporates urgency to motivate readers to act now rather than later. Techniques like limited-time offers, exclusive bonuses, or scarcity language push potential customers to overcome procrastination and make a decision.

Urgency adds a psychological nudge, tapping into the fear of missing out (FOMO) and driving quicker conversions.

5. Establishing Authority and Credibility

Before customers make a purchase, they need to trust that your product delivers on its promises. Direct response copywriting builds credibility by including testimonials, success stories, certifications, or guarantees. This reduces skepticism and reassures potential buyers.

6. Addressing Objections

Great direct response copywriting anticipates and overcomes objections before the reader even has a chance to think about them. It might address concerns about price, effectiveness, or usability by offering solutions.

7. Providing a Clear Call-to-Action (CTA)

Every piece of direct response copy ends with a strong, specific call-to-action. It tells readers exactly what to do next and makes it as easy as possible to follow through. Whether it’s clicking a button, filling out a form, or making a call, the CTA is where the magic happens.

8. Leveraging Emotional and Logical Appeals

Direct response copywriting balances emotional and logical appeals. Emotional triggers like fear, excitement, or desire capture attention and create urgency, while logical arguments such as facts, figures, and guarantees. This cements the decision to buy.

9. Encouraging Repeat Sales and Loyalty

Direct response copy doesn’t just focus on one-time sales; it’s also about nurturing long-term relationships. Follow-up emails, upsells, and cross-sells keep customers engaged and coming back for more.

When done right, direct response copywriting doesn’t just sell. It transforms casual interest into committed action. By eliminating friction and speaking directly to your audience’s needs, it guides them seamlessly toward making a decision that benefits both them and your business.

Why Is Direct Response Copywriting So Effective?

Direct response copywriting is one of the most powerful tools in marketing because it’s not about talking at your audience. Instead it’s about connecting with them, addressing their needs, and motivating them to take action.

Unlike vague branding campaigns or flashy slogans, direct response copywriting is laser-focused on driving results. Here’s a deeper dive into why it works so well:

Direct Response Copywriting Is Personal

Direct response copywriting excels at making the reader feel like the message is speaking directly to them. This isn’t accidental. It’s intentional. Through detailed research and understanding of the target audience, a skilled direct response copywriter crafts messages that resonate on a personal level.

Direct Response Copywriting Is Focused

Every word in direct response copywriting serves a purpose. There’s no room for fluff or filler. Each sentence moves the reader closer to taking action, whether that’s clicking a link, filling out a form, or making a purchase.

This focus makes direct response copywriting incredibly effective at cutting through the noise. In a world where people’s attention spans are shorter than ever, focused messaging ensures your offer stands out. A direct response copywriter zeros in on what matters most to your audience, skipping unnecessary details and keeping the spotlight on the benefits.

Direct Response Copywriting Is Action-Oriented

Direct response copywriting doesn’t just inform or entertain. It drives action. This is achieved through strong calls to action (CTAs) that leave no ambiguity about what the reader should do next. For example:

“Click here to claim your free trial before midnight tonight.”

“Call now to schedule your no-obligation consultation.”

The action-oriented nature of direct response copywriting eliminates hesitation by guiding the reader step-by-step toward the desired outcome. This clarity makes it easier for potential customers to say yes.

Direct Response Copywriting Is Measurable

Unlike branding campaigns that often struggle to show direct results, direct response copywriting is designed to be measurable.

You can track how many people clicked, called, or bought, and this data provides valuable insights into what’s working.

For businesses, this is a game-changer. By analyzing the performance of direct response campaigns, you can refine your strategy, optimize your messaging, and maximize your return on investment (ROI).

Direct Response Copywriting Is Rooted in Psychology

The effectiveness of direct response copywriting lies in its understanding of human behavior. It leverages emotional triggers like fear, excitement, curiosity, and desire to motivate action.

At the same time, it provides logical justifications—data, guarantees, and testimonials—that make the decision feel smart and safe. For example:

Emotional Trigger: “Imagine waking up pain-free every morning—without surgery or medication.”

Logical Justification: “Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.”

This combination of emotion and logic ensures that the message appeals to both the heart and the head.

Direct Response Copywriting Is Versatile

Direct response copywriting works across platforms, from email campaigns and sales pages to Facebook ads and direct mail. 

While the format might change, the principles remain the same: Speak directly to the reader, address their needs, and inspire action.

This versatility makes direct response copywriting a powerful tool for businesses of all sizes and industries.

Whether you’re selling software, skincare, or seminar tickets, a direct response copywriter can tailor the message to fit your audience and goals.

Direct Response Copywriting Builds Trust

In addition to motivating immediate action, direct response copywriting helps establish credibility and trust.

By addressing objections, showcasing testimonials, and offering guarantees, it reassures the reader that they’re making a smart decision. For example:

“Not sure if this is right for you? Try it risk-free for 30 days.”

“Hear from our happy customers: ‘This product changed my life!’”

This trust-building element not only drives sales but also fosters long-term customer relationships.

Ultimately, direct response copywriting is so effective because it’s not just about writing. It’s about selling.

It takes the principles of persuasion and applies them strategically, ensuring that every element of the message works toward achieving your business goals.

Whether you’re launching a new product or scaling an existing one, working with the best direct response copywriter ensures that your words work as hard as possible to deliver results.

Immediate Impact:

With the right strategy, a direct response copywriter can create copy that delivers results right when you need them. This quick turnaround can be the difference between surviving and thriving for a small business.

Leveling the Playing Field:

A skilled direct response copywriter for hire will help you highlight what makes your business unique, crafting copy that shows your value, authenticity, and commitment to your customers. This personal touch can be more impactful than a flashy, generic campaign from a corporate competitor.
