I've seen a lot of people put their faith in tools like grammarly because they think it's the authority for writing perfect content. And sure, it can help spot a few glaring errors in our grammar. But at the end of the day Grammarly is a tool... nothing more! The fact is, your content could be rated...

how-to-write-good-advertisement.jpg Another great copywriting book is Victor O Schwabs “How To Write A Good Advertisement” . Victor O Schwab was one of the greatest mail order copywriters who ever lived. And this book is practically a complete advertising / sales copy course in a single book. There...

Hi Sofina, welcome to the forum. Your question is a bit vague but I think I understand what you mean, so I’ll try to offer some advice… Is there a “rule” for buttons inside a platform? First, the best rule (if we can call it a “rule”) for buttons is we want them to be prominent and easily seen (assu...

Hello, I'm interested in becoming a freelance copywriter - mainly in sales/advertising, but I don't mind branching out into other areas (websites, blogs, etc.). But my problem lies in where to begin. It's the old adage "can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job&quo...

This was an actual direct mail piece that a now defunct bank sent out a few years ago. I won’t say their marketing was the only thing that caused them to go bankrupt. In reality, their criminal business practices were the main reason the FTC shut them down (you can look it up if you want) but if thi...

Hi Serenus, welcome to the forum. Yes, re-writing good advertising / sales copy can help. But as Franklin indicated, it’s not a complete training program all by itself. The idea has been around for many years. If my memory serves me correctly, I think I first did this exercise when I took the Randy ...

Hi nizarkassite, Yes, that’s a bit of a circular predicament. Not too many people will hire you to write sales copy if you don’t have any experience, and it’s hard to gain experience if nobody will hire you. The best advice I can give you right now is to start creating your own experience (and portf...

i think that this is the most asked question from those who are just starting out, and i am one of them. to the experienced copywriters on this community. I would be very grateful if you can give me (or us) some help, and chances are you’ve been through the same path when you were a newbie too! tha...

What could make a person desire earnestly to be a direct response copywriter yet doesn’t feel good enough to be one? I believe desire is the first step towards becoming good at anything, because without desire then we’d never even try. So just the fact that you have the desire tells me you have a c...

Hi Elijah, Welcome to the forum. Feel free to have a look around, and let me know if there’s anything you need help with. SARubin, thank you for continually pouring out yourself to your members. I see all your views and insights and they are all noteworthy. Thanks for your contributions. Awww, you’r...

Over the past couple decades aspiring copywriters have been blessed with a wealth of information on the fundamental princi­ples of copywriting. From books and courses, to seminars and web sites, not to mention all the so called gooroos promising that if you just put certain words in a ceratin order,...

Marketers are always talking about how “features tell, and benefits sell”. And for the most part, I agree it’s true. Simply put… A feature is what your product is. And a benefit is what it does for your customer. And if benefits are what sell your product or service, then it’s a good idea to use the...

Awesome stuff Wordy. This one made me laugh out loud

Good guess Wordy,

Let's wait to see if anyone else has a guess. If no one else responds, then I'll PM you the winning answer (so it'll just be our secret)...

I asked this same question at one of the other copywriting forums I used to hang out at (I still stop by there from time to time). Anyway, I got some interesting responses over at the WF, so I thought I’d share it here… It’s a little guessing game for y’all (I say for y’all, because I already know t...

With women, it takes a lot of research, composition, facts, logic, structure and persuasion because they are very suspicious of those “Hold my beer” moments. They buy what they want, when they want it. Sometimes the facts, logic and composition can be quick and straight forward (especially when the...

For me, one of the best methods to get past writers block is to just start writing. Once I get started it’s easier to keep going. I guess we could sum it up to Newton’s first law of motion – a.k.a. “the law of inertia”. An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and it’s easier for an object in motion...
