Headline Lengths
In my experience, short headlines often work better. I guess it because they have a better chance of catching the short attention span of skimmers (especially in our ADHD society) But there's a caveat... We should never sacrifice clarity for brevity. If you can squeeze a curiosity factor, a little n...

The Power of Words...
I want you to think about words for a minute. I mean really think about them. Those symbols and vibrations that transmit an idea from one person to another. A message that flashes across your screen. A group of letters scribbled on a piece of paper, waiting to be decoded by anyone who understands wh...

Re: The Key to Great Copywriting
Hey londonprince,
Welcome to the show.
Yes my friend, you are on the right track.
In fact, you're on the road least traveled by most new copywriters. Which already puts you ahead of the pack.

Re: copywriting course
We had a few courses set up when this site was on the old wordpress platform, but the strain on the shared server kept crashing the site.
I'll see if there's a way we can bring them back now that we're on a more stable forum platform.
Thanks for the suggestion

Re: Is this good copy? True Coolness Is Found In Jesus
Hi Mario, It's looking better. Now the next step in any good writing is to go back and edit what we've written. This is where we walk away from it, and let it sit for a day or two. Then we can come back and look at it with a fresh set of eyes. What we're looking for is any words we can delete, or an...

Hey Mario, Welcome to the show... I see where you're going with this copy, and it's a decent first draft / brain dump (a brain dump is what I call it when we dump all our ideas on the page, so we can go back later to clean it up and edit it). What you have here is the raw skeleton of a good story. B...

Hey TheCopyCat, That is great news. And 40 GBP (50 USD) per hour is very good pay for anyone just starting out.
