Video Sales Letters
Create a video sales page that converts. Learn the full VSL workflow: script structure, recording options, slide design, embedding, and testing.
Video Sales Letters (VSLs)
Your text sales page works. But what if a single video could do the selling for you — 24 hours a day, to every visitor, with perfect consistency?
A Video Sales Letter (VSL) is a long-form sales video embedded on a minimal web page. Instead of reading your pitch, visitors watch it. For certain courses — especially higher-priced ones — a VSL can dramatically outperform text.
This course covers the full VSL workflow: writing the script (which is where 80% of the work happens), choosing your recording format, designing supporting visuals, embedding the video on a page, and measuring results.
What You’ll Learn
- When a VSL outperforms a text sales page (and when it doesn’t)
- The complete VSL script structure — from hook to call to action
- How to write for spoken delivery (very different from writing for readers)
- Recording options: on-camera, slides + voiceover, AI avatar, or hybrid
- Slide design principles that support your message
- How to embed your VSL and drive action
- Analytics and A/B testing to improve conversions over time
