*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Every writing task is really challenging especially when it comes on how to start your sales letter up. If you don�t consider yourself as a writer and you don�t have any experience in writing, what are you going to do then if you were assigned to take a business letter such as writing sales letters?

This going to be a long process in your part since you don�t have any ideas on how to write a correct one and how to start it out effectively. Just like sales letter writing, even writers find it hard to start their writing assignments properly.

This is so true since the tension in writing usually false into the first part of the content. The introduction or the first paragraph generally tells what the content is all about and the interest of every reader is carried out in this part.

If the first paragraph was written poorly, would you expect that the one who reads your writing can appreciate the worth of the content? Would you believe that they will never junk your piece of work in the trash bin? And will you ever hope that you�ll get their satisfaction and approval on the project?

Certainly not and you should, by all means, have to start your sales letter with a dynamic entrance that will never make your readers feel disappointed and bored with what you intend to write.

Want to start your sales letters with as much impact as they can pack? Begin them with one of these:

1. Offer a dramatic discount. This has more to do with sales strategy than actual writing technique. Start them off with some steep savings and they�ll want to know how to get it. It�s a great way to get them reading to the very end.

2. Appeal to the prospect�s desires. What thing are your prospects inclined to want? Appeal to that desire and they will want to know how you can help them fill it.

3. Give away a freebie. Free stuff from the get-go, like discounts, is one of the most irresistible baits to get a sales letter to stick.

4. Ask a thought-provoking question. Questions that are pertinent to a reader�s situation will almost always get them reading further with, often with genuine interest.

5. Lead in with a powerful quote. Quotations help engage readers by getting them emotionally involved � a great strategy for getting them hooked.

6. Cite a controversial fact or a surprising statistic. A great technique for getting readers curious enough to read further, you�ll have to find a way to get them interested on what�s being sold later.

7. An apology linked to a sales proposal. If there�s absolutely anything you need to apologize for (e.g. a delayed product launch or wrong pricing) , it can make for a good opening for your sales letter. Just make sure to tie it into some sort of promotion in order to push your product.

Like every piece of writing, any impact your opener makes will be dulled if your sales letter is filled with mistakes. That�s why we always recommend using a full-featured writing software to get it checked out and cleaned up.
