Re: Good example of "old school" direct response mail…

This flier has many good elements. I like the free gift and money back guarantee next to the order form making them prominent at the critical decision time. I think it could be better with another starburst-callout showing FREE SHIPPING to make that part stand out more. I would also add more story a...

Re: What's the difference between online and offline copywriting

In my experience I’ve learnt that online copy works better when it’s more direct, faster paced and to the point. There are too many distractions online and it’s too easy to lose focus. When we read a newspaper or magazine while sitting quietly we can remain focused on the article, but online an inco...

Re: Classified ad – looking for a copywriter

Due to the rise of low end freelance sites like freelancer.com and fivver.com, among others, too many people see writing as a commodity and they believe that $5 or $10 is an average cost for a writer. Many of those bargain shoppers are the same people who complain about there not being any good qual...

Re: Email copy from Netflix

The target audience is always the most important factor (even more than the words themselves) An average message to the right market, at the right time, will always outperform a brilliant message to an audience with no interest in what we’re selling. This is so true. New copywriters are always look...

Re: How to create email subject line to get high open rates

Most important Jasper buddy – Make your email valuable every time. When people are used to getting good stuff from you they will open your email because it came from YOU. Even if your subject line is not great your sender name will get them to open it. ^^^ Yes, this! ^^^ Your reputation is worth mo...

Re: What are the best books to learn copywriting?

But the #1 thing I’d recommend is to learn a little, then put it into action so you can see for yourself how it works. Because the lessons you learn from actually doing, will teach you more than a dozen books ever will. This is the best advice. Putting your writing into the public will be your grea...

Re: Looking for tips to make my writing more effective for readers that skim pages

Typically, I try to get the headline and the first few sentences as interesting as possible. Then I put the information in, and end it on a high note. Heat-maps have shown me that many readers tend to read the first part, skim the rest, and then read the ending before they either move on or go back ...

Re: WRITING FOR SEO VS WRITING FOR HUMANS

I just want to add my two cents to this topic 😀 I think it’s possible to do both. Write artfully and write for the search engines. If you know how to write “into” your keywords, combining the two becomes very doable. Plus, a lot of times writing towards certain keywords gets me to think up unique wa...
