    well first get ur thread tittle correct realy.. 80% people wont read the thread (or incase of your letter) if ur title is spelled wrong!!

    Yes, get your spelling right. Nothing beats a crisp writing with excellent grammar and spelling.

    I'm not sure sure if you are being sarcastic here or not but maybe you should follow your own advice... "tittle", "wrok" "degisner"??? lol

    Make sure you have some nice bold headlines to hit the best facts.
    Don't talk about what your product does... tell your readers what it will do for them.
    Make sure you have a big loud call to action!

    Copywriting is a skill, so if you can, get a good copywriter to produce your first sales letter, and learn from them. Order than that, you will need to read through some copywriting materials online, there are tons of free resources out there. What you need in a sales letter, is a title that grabs attention, an opening paragraph that holds that interest, and the rest of it is putting across the benefits. Add prove into the sales letter and conclude with a call to action.

    A terrific free resource you should check out is Gary Bencivenga’s ‘bullets‘ archive. It’s an absolute treasure-trove of copywriting/marketing wisdom. Just google his name & it’ll come up.

    Hope this helps and best wishes in your marketing efforts.

    Focus on the key aspects of your product, simple to understand for the consumer which should fulfill something for the consumer.

    Make sure your call to action is clear and easy for the consumer

    As others said, fix your grammar and make info about the product as clear as possible. You should also use some kind of incentive like "the product is low on stock so hurry!" if it is allowed.

    You should do some research on similar products and then take into account the sentences/words/lines they used that struck a chord with you. Then you should write as if you were telling yourself why you want to buy the product - as spelling doesn't seem to be your strong point then you should find a proofreader (on here or other freelance sites). Leave it a day or so read it again, make the final edits then.....................

    All the best :)
