Crafting an Anti-Capitalist Sales Page: A Step-by-Step Guide with My Free Worksheet
Dec 09, 2024If you’ve ever felt icky about writing sales copy, you’re not alone. Many of us—especially those building anti-capitalist businesses—struggle to balance promoting our work with staying true to our values. The good news? It is possible to create a sales page that feels ethical, transparent, and aligned with anti-oppressive principles.
That’s why I created the Blueprint for Crafting an Ethical, Anti-Oppressive Sales Page, a free worksheet to help you write people-centered copy without falling into the traps of exploitative marketing. In this post, I’ll walk you through the worksheet and show you how to use it to craft a sales page that truly reflects your anti-capitalist business values.
Why Your Sales Page Matters in an Anti-Capitalist Business
Your sales page isn’t just about selling—it’s about inviting people into a relationship with your work. Traditional capitalist marketing relies on manipulation, scarcity, and pressure to drive sales, but as an anti-capitalist business coach, I’m here to tell you: there’s a better way.
An ethical sales page centers transparency, inclusivity, and respect. It’s an opportunity to:
- Build trust with your audience by being honest about what you’re offering.
- Align your sales practices with your values.
- Create space for people to make informed decisions without feeling pressured.
Let’s break down how the worksheet can help you do just that.
How to Use the Anti-Capitalist Sales Page Blueprint
This worksheet is designed to guide you through creating a people-first sales page, one section at a time. Here’s how it works:
1. Header: Set the Tone
The header is the first thing people see, so it needs to be clear, inviting, and free of overhyped claims.
- Prompt: What are you offering, and how does it support your audience?
- Example: Instead of “The Only Tool You Need!” → Try: “Helping you find clarity and ease, one step at a time.”
The goal here is to make your audience feel seen and welcomed.
2. Introduction: Lead with Values
The introduction explains why your product or service exists and the problem it addresses. This is where your anti-capitalist ethos can shine.
- Prompt: Why did you create this offering, and how does it reflect your values?
- Example: Instead of “This product is a game-changer!” → Try: “Our aim is to provide tools that help you make sustainable changes at your own pace.”
Show your audience the care and thoughtfulness behind your work.
3. Features and Benefits: Be Honest
Traditional marketing overpromises and underdelivers. Instead, focus on realistic benefits.
- Prompt: How do the features of your product or service support your audience’s goals?
- Example: Instead of “Guaranteed to change your life!” → Try: “Created to bring you closer to [specific goal] with each use.”
Being transparent about what you offer builds trust and sets clear expectations.
4. Inclusive Testimonials: Reflect Real Experiences
Testimonials are powerful, but they should also be authentic and inclusive.
- Prompt: Do your testimonials reflect diverse experiences and avoid stereotypes?
- Example: “This tool made my busy days easier without adding pressure” feels more grounded than “It changed my life!”
Highlight a range of stories that resonate with different backgrounds.
5. Pricing Transparency: No Games
Anti-capitalist business practices mean being upfront about costs—no hidden fees, no misleading discounts.
- Prompt: Can you offer sliding scales or payment plans?
- Example: Instead of “Special deal only for today!” → Try: “Our price is $X; we believe in fair pricing year-round.”
6. Call to Action: Keep It Gentle
Your CTA (Call to Action) should invite, not pressure, your audience to take the next step.
- Prompt: How can you make your CTA welcoming?
- Example: Instead of “Don’t miss out—buy now!” → Try: “When you’re ready, we’re here to welcome you to our community.”
