If you want to make your copy read quickly and smoothly --
without a bump or a "bobble" -- making it as easy as
possible for your customers to read your entire ad in one
sitting...without getting distracted, bored or confused...then
this article will show you how.
Do you know what a "transition" is?
Transitions are little sentences, phrases and words that
help connect paragraphs together. And what they do is
guide your readers to wherever you want them to go by
making it easier for their brains to follow along.
Sometimes they take your reader from one idea to another.
Sometimes they guide your reader from one thought to a
related thought. Sometimes they simply ask a question. It
really just depends on the context of what you're trying to do
in your pitch.

And so
on and so forth.
There are thousands (probably tens of thousands) of
transitions you can use. But there's only about 80 I use
regularly. Each of which is taken directly from real sales
letters that have all been proven to pull in hundreds of
thousands, if not millions (even tens of millions) of
dollars.
When I'm stuck for a good transition I simply glance over
this list of "transistors" until I see one I like. And you can
download these exact transistors for your own use at http://bensettle.com/Transitions.pdf
Like I said, there are tens of thousands of different
transitions you can use. But these particular transitions
have made copywriting a hundred times easier for me. And
they can do the same for you.
