The reason I'm hesitant is that I'm thinking of those web based translation programs where you enter the text and the translation is poor quality and unusable. I would be untrustworthy that it could easily generate a decent sales copy but I don't know much about software development. Don't get me wrong, I would be interested in the software but it would need to generate a sales letter that I can use and not produce choppy copy. Does that make sense? I realize it can't replace a professionally custom written sales letters by a human but I think this would be something internet marketers on a budget would try out. Think Xsitepro but for sales letter generation. Veteran sales copywriters and Internet marketers might scoff at something like this but this would have legs for the newbie marketers or affiliates cranking out sales copy pages.
I thought of a few other things…
- Very important: spell check and grammar check!
- A nice selection of bullet point graphics for breaking out items in list order (sales copy 101).
- If you select the long copy for it to follow the proven sales copy layout, i.e. the attention grabbing paragraph near the top, usually in larger font and attention grabbing color.
- Also a nice selection of sales letter related graphics like the "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" badge, etc.
The design portion of the software could be like a dialog box:
Box one - user enters attention grabbing header here. (select color, red, blue, black)
Box two- Enter items for bullet point list here. (select bullet point)
Box three- Enter main text here.
Etc. then click a button to put it all together and generate the sales letter.
Give the option to select a mostly pre-written one or for them to write their own in the design portion like described below. They can copy and paste into the corresponding "box" click generate and boom their text is formatted following the sales letter format we love to hate.
Hey this is fun just throwing out the ideas part!
