Everyday
I visit scores of websites.
Why do I do this? Just like a Scientist I like to dissect and analyse all the average content from all the good stuff out there.
In a way if defeats the purpose of having a website if your content doesn't capture your prospect right away.
So you're probably asking me right now, Carlo "how do I get better at writing web copy"?. Good question.
For starters it's better to avoid cliches ,drivel , and Sales hype at all costs.
Most of the time when I'm writing Web Copy I follow these Copywriting techniques below.

Enjoy this list ...
1) Short paragraphs – four sentences max; short sentences – twelve on average
2) Avoiding the passive tense- The homeowners renovated the house to help it sell. (active) The house was renovated by the homeowners to help it sell. (passive) leave out unnecessary words; Market-leading – Which market are you leading? And do your customers care?
3) Avoiding jargon and gobbledygook; "At the end of the day can be replaced with ultimately, essentially, or just omit
4) Avoiding needless repetition; The company’s share price reached a new record high. Delete “new. Avoid using the word I , We, or ours and replace with You, Yours .
5) Use Shortened text. Instead of As Soon As Possible. "One of our team will be in touch with you ASAP"
Some pretty basic stuff.
