Reader Based Lead Sentences
Why should you, as a copywriter, find lead sentences that contain “you, your, you’re, yourself, and/or you’ve” important? I look forward to reading your thoughts. Enjoy the compilation of examples. 🙂 Disclaimer: This list is not my work. They’re leads I’ve swiped from big box sites like Wayfair, Wal...

The rule of one by Michael Masterson
Copywriters like Joseph Sugarman and Dan Kennedy have said that copy should have a big idea or concept. Michael Masterson agrees, but presents it from a different angle. The rule of one asserts that the best way to get a big idea is by focusing on one idra. Otherwise the copy piece loses focus. But ...

Re: Which headline was the winner?
I like #1 best. It’s a long headline but it makes me curious to know what the scientists uncovered.

I’d like a critique
The Classic Car Club of America gave me three assignments about classic car insurance on Textbroker today and I’d like an opinion. This is one, but they’re all about the same, with more about what a classic car actually is on the other two. These were a nickel a word on their end. I took home 3.7 c...

Rip Into This One
Ha ha just ran across an article I wrote back in the Demand Media days, maybe 2012 or so. Demand went on to essentially collapse and transform into Leaf Group. This particular article has made the rounds on various properties. I believe ItStillRuns is this story’s sixth different home. The article i...

Re: Is gender based selling still a thing?
My mother always taught me that men are very stupid and need a woman in their lives to keep them from doing stupid things. She believed that women should control the checkbook, the household and the government. Unfortunately, she was a liberal New England Republican who campaigned for the ERA, but m...

Re: Is offline advertising even worth it anymore?
It’s also important to remember that half the population doesn’t live in a city. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that lots of people aren’t anywhere near urban centers. I live 20 miles from the nearest town and it’s only got 600 people in it. There are still lots of places where people don’t spend a l...

Re: Looking for tips to make my writing more effective for readers that skim pages
Designating your subheaders as H2 (the title on a WordPress blog post is H1) lets Google identify what the content is about and also does what SARubin mentioned, makes it bold and draws the eyes to it. Try Different Methods of Presenting Points Use somewhat shorter paragraphs than you might see in p...

Re: How do you write when you're not in the mood?
One thing I do is start writing absolute stream of consciousness. Use an open like in Leaving Las Vegas or something… “We were somewhere out past the county line when we saw the body.” or similar and just write gibberish that doesn’t have to make a story, create a real paragraph or anything else. It...

Re: Email copy from Netflix
This post is a few months old but thought I’d share my opinion if that’s alright. For me…it’s just lukewarm. I am a Netflix user. I’ve seen a few emails like this since signing up several years ago, this ad isn’t exactly missing the ‘why?’, but imho, they are displaying ‘why’ with a laissez faire at...

Re: Which headline is better?
Depending on the scopes of the dating site, I think the third headline would works best for the emotional hook: “find your soulmate” speaks of a longer-term view of love than “find your perfect match”, since the latter could work even for a short-term relationship.
Just my two cents.
