Re: New member here

There's this one marketing agency I use to write for that wanted their writing team to join forums and post "Guest Posts." It is an old SEO/reputation management strategy still in practice, to drive traffic to one's site and build authority. Here's a link on the subject matter: What is a G...

Re: Introducing a Headline Formula Guaranteed to Pull Readers Into Your Copy

If you have Caples' book "Make Ads Pay" chapter 4, page 32 you'll find his account. Speaking of Caples, have you read Advertising Copy by George Burton Hotchkiss? Never heard of this book. It looks like a good one. I just checked Amazon and they have a hardcover copy (only 1 left in stock)...

Re: Negotiating Boundaries & Payment

Hi Cheri, It's tough starting off. It's tough working with a client who's never hired a freelance writer. It's tough getting revision after revision after revision. It's tough cleaning up after non-writers, who think they know more. It's tough when a writer has to chase their money. It's tough when ...

Stop looking over my shoulder. It's creepy.

All kidding aside, I'm a top-rated anal copy writer. And some days funk fills my head.

Anyone got a cure for that?

Re: Ok my first attempt. Yes you can rip into it.

At first glance, your pitch is all about the service, and not the potential client. Even though your target audience is B2B, you MUST connect with those decision-makers on an emotional level FIRST , if you want to get their FULL attention. For them, it may not be about saving time or money, because ...

Re: Introducing a Headline Formula Guaranteed to Pull Readers Into Your Copy

Speaking of Caples, have you read Advertising Copy by George Burton Hotchkiss? Let me back up. I'm sure you remember this headline: They Laughed When I Sat Down At The Piano—But When I Started To Play! [/b][/size] That ad we copywriters hold up in awe was actually constructed from what Caples read a...

Re: Are there any proven email templates I can use?

With this client, it was hard enough to get him to agree to this storyline email. He cringed at the initial idea. Once he was supposedly onboard, that was the extent he would go. Our account manager tried multiple times, explaining the campaign wasn't finished and we needed to follow-up and try a di...

Re: Copywriting is open source

It's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, that the Evergreen type of PLR content never fades like for service businesses, i.e., landscaping, mechanics, HVAC, roofing, etc. But niches like automobiles, healthcare, technology, industries that constantly keep changing that type of content would b...

Re: Are there any proven email templates I can use?

So I have an email I wrote for a client most would think would not get opened, let alone read in a B2B setting. Here is the stripped-down version Subject line: How Fast Can Your Password Get Cracked?

Re: Are there any proven email templates I can use?

There are a whole bunch of email templates anyone can use. However, the question I'd ask you is, what gets your target audience to open and respond to your email? What is your data showing you? Do they like: punchy subject lines personal subject lines alert subject lines Psst subject lines etc. Next...

Re: Copywriting is open source

Hi Franklin,

Not even close to a burial yet. There's been recent momentum with content mills and pandemic marketers using it.

Re: Copywriting is open source

So technically you're saying PLR is acceptable. Hmmm.....????

You can collaborate with others to improve its performance. And you may use, redistribute, or modify it to fit your own needs.

I know a copywriter that writes technology content, and none of it reads as if a machine wrote it. All the latest stuff too. If you want his name and email, send me a private message, and I'll pass it along. Every once in a while this question pops up on a forum or chat room. The answer I usually gi...
