Product Copy — Sales Copy Writing
Write compelling, honest product descriptions for apps and SaaS products.
Input
Confirm before writing:
- What you're selling — App overview (can auto-detect from README or code)
- Who you're selling to — Target users
- Where you're selling — Gumroad / Landing page / App Store / Product Hunt / etc.
- Price — Free / Paid / Freemium
Writing Style
- Natural, conversational tone
- Reader-focused — put yourself in the user's shoes
- Short, direct sentences
- Honest and trustworthy
Prohibited
- "Revolutionary" "groundbreaking" "one-of-a-kind" — overblown adjectives
- "Enables you to" "makes it possible to" — AI boilerplate phrases
- "Transform your..." "Act now!" — pushy sales language
- Feature lists with no benefits (always explain WHY it matters)
- Fake scarcity ("Only a few left!" "Limited time!")
- Bashing competitors
