Sometimes when you are trying to learn the ropes with copywriting it helps to have a visual of what you are trying to accomplish rather than reading something that tells you how to do it. So the best way to do this is to do a little research with Google.
Check out some products such as ebooks, reports, graphics, etc. that have a sales copy and take a look at some of the methods that are used in the writing. Also pay attention to how headlines are constructed, what power words are used, how the features or benefits are presented, etc.
One thing that I like to do is kind of put myself in the shoes of a potential customer, think of questions that a customer would have, and even pinpoint what information is more convincing than others. By doing this you will have a better idea of what customers are looking for and how to appeal to them.
Generally, you can tell when copywriters put more time into their writing than when they just throw up something they created in 10 minutes. And by being able to spot this you can often find mistakes that are made and ones that you want to avoid.
