Best Practices
- Lead with benefits - Features tell, benefits sell
- Know your audience - Write to one specific person, not "everyone"
- Use power words - Incorporate emotion-triggering language strategically
- Create curiosity gaps - Make them want to know more
- Be specific - "Increase revenue by 34%" beats "grow your business"
- Tell stories - Narratives are more persuasive than facts alone
- Match awareness levels - Adjust copy to where customer is in journey
- Test constantly - Always have A/B tests running
- Remove friction - Every word should move reader toward action
- Prove claims - Back up promises with data, testimonials, guarantees
- Write conversationally - Sound like a human, not a corporate robot
- Use active voice - "Get results" not "Results can be gotten"
- Create scarcity authentically - Limited-time offers must be genuine
- Address objections - Answer "why should I care?" and "what's the catch?"
- Make it skimmable - Bullets, bold text, short paragraphs for quick scanning
