copywriting-tactic.jpg Here's a little copywriting tactic I recently tried for the first time, and it worked, so I thought I'd share it with anyone here who might be interested. This is not a new tactic, I believe I first learned it from Dan Kennedy around 15 years ago, but I never actually split t...

Hey

Doing this task for school where we are doing an ad poster for Chiquita.

Any feedback, thoughts or ideas are welcome. Picture as attachment.

Hi Franklin,
I'm a little late but it is still the beginning of year so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

ai-robot-copywriter.jpg AI copywriting. What is it, and is it any good? There's been a lot of hubbub lately about ai generated copy - how it's going to take over the copywriting universe and put us copywriters out of work - and maybe some day it will... But today is not that day. On the other hand,...

1 - Copywriting is about selling There are lots of people out there who write sales copy but who are doing it badly, because they start with the wrong premise. Yes, they write with proper grammar, syntax, and sentence structure, and those things are important, but there's a huge difference between ...

Here's a fun little tilt I wrote, I thought you might like to see. It's an A to Z list of copywriting quips, and it's the thing I thought while sipping my tea. My focus ran dry at the bottom of my cup, I'll let your own imagination fill the missing parts up... A lways start with the market in mind, ...

Thank you Franklin, this is very helpful

When it comes to copywriting, and branding, I love when I find a rock solid control piece that still pulls in millions of dollars, year after year, for a company. There's just something inspiring about seeing a time tested, battle hardened, piece of copy that's proven itself to not only be recogniza...

Hi Franklin, I have an interest in Marketing/Copywriting and would like to learn more and see how far I can go with it.
I was hoping I could still run my blog as well as copywriting, at least for the time being anyway.

Hi Ryan, I just visited your blog and I like it. Your writing has personality, which is a refreshing welcome from all the AI (artificial intelligence) spun content spreading across the blogosphere these days. Ya know, I've always said there's a huge difference between a blog that makes us feel conne...

Hi All, Finding sources of inspiration helps me in so many ways in my day-to-day writing endeavors. I have come across various newsletters and copywriters over the years that continue to help me in my own growth, and I wanted to share one of those resources today. This copywriter, Eddie Shleyner, st...

Hi All, My name is Tucker and I have been in the marketing/copywriting lane for a decade now. I work full-time as the sole copywriter on an in-house marketing team for a Mars-owned corporation. I also do freelance copywriting work for a few marketing agencies—primarily writing a suite of content for...

Here's a few vintage ads that I hope don't get me banned for posting the link 8-) Naw, you wouldn't get banned here for posting that link. Political correctness aside, nobody on this forum gets banned for posting historically accurate advertising. Although I fully agree, a couple of those ads were ...

Franklin made some good points. A low open rate could be caused by lots of things. If you usually get high open rates, and suddenly they dropped off, it might only be a temporary downturn (there's a lot of political and economic turmoil going on in the world right now and many people are distracted ...

Love these old ads. Brilliant stuff. We just don't see this kind of creative campaign very much anymore. I remember hearing a story about when the Volkswagen guys were first trying to break into the U.S. market with their tiny car... At the brainstorming session the consensus was it would never sell...

I still remember seeing classic print ads like these in old stacks of National Geographics my dad left up in the attic. I think it was the first time I ever took notice of advertising and realised that they could actually be amusing and clever. And as I learned more about marketing and branding I so...

A lot of times I get bored doing research and want to get to the writing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. Any tips or tricks to make research more interesting? Yeah that's a tough one Franklin, sometimes I get bored too. One thing that sometimes keeps me going is imagining I'm on ...

Hello Franklin, If you're bored with research, step away. We all get overwhelmed, especially if it's an industry we know little about. I for one break up my research into digestible sections because that works for me. Based on your past life experience, what's the quickest way you found you could le...

Of course you need the ability to write. And you need the ability to sell your ideas to other people. But there are 3 things few courses, books, or gurus ever mention about how to be a successful copywriter. So if no one has told you about them before... let me be the first... 1. You need intense cu...
