Response/Cover Letter to Tweak web copy to create stronger calls to action

Tweak web copy to create stronger calls to action

You should have a strong marketing background and be able to create value propositions and persuasive content that speaks to the read not sales them and creates conversions based on trust. A business and or physiology background would you be useful. Someone that has learnt skills from copyhackers.com is the sort of person that can help.

Please provider and example of a landing page or an action based web site you have created copy for.

Response/Cover Letter
You say, "A business and or physiology background would you be useful." I do believe you meant "psychology", phisiology is something quite far removed from sales and does not make sense at all. Psychology makes more sense, in sales it has been used as a tool to direct a consumer to a desired end result and that is to buy. The site copyhackers.com must be something else, its mere mention indicates that you have been impressed by them and that a candidate that is under their tutelage is almost a sure thing for this job. I have bookmarked their site just in case, you were astounded by what they can do, so maybe I can learn a thing or two from them. You must have scrutinized them thoroughly to have mentioned their site on this ad. I would appreciate it if you can apply the same scrutiny and check out some sample work. If it passes your requirements maybe I can start tweaking that web copy. 
Please check out some sample work at any of the following sites:

Cover Letter for Virtual Assistant/Writer Wanted

I hope I can be the virtual assistant/writer who will assist you with some data input, research, short description writing, social media support, newsletter work and general administration tasks.

Rewrite test


There is scientific evidence that short term creatine use can increase maximum power and performance in high-intensity anaerobic repetitive work (periods of work and rest) by 5 to 15%. This is mainly bouts of running/cycling sprints and multiple sets of low RM weightlifting. Single effort work shows an increase of 1 to 5%. This refers mainly to single sprints and single lifting of 1-2RM weights. However, some studies show no ergogenic effect at all. Studies in endurance athletes have been less than promising, most likely because these activities are sustained at a given intensity and thus do not allow for significant intra-exercise synthesis of additional creatine phosphate molecules. Ingesting creatine can increase the level of phosphocreatine in the muscles up to 20%. It must be noted creatine has no significant effect on aerobic endurance, though it will increase power during short sessions of high-intensity aerobic exercise


REWRITE

Creatinine use for short periods has been proven in scientific studies to cause an increase in anaerobic performance and provide maximum power  when utilized for workouts involving repetitive high-intensity routines like sprinting when running or cycling and when using weights. The increase varies between by 5-15% while for other exertions it can be between 1-5%. In a few studies it does not reflect any ergogenic effect and in the case of endurance athletes the indicate unflattering results. The explanation may have something to do with these activities requiring a sustained level of intensity that need no further synthesis of creatine phosphate molecules. Expect up to a 20% increase in phosphocreatine levels in your muscles when you ingest creatinine. Remember though that creatinine will not have big effect on aerobic endurance. Its strength is in short bursts of power in quick high-intensity workouts.
