  • Make your copywriting a little bit better. Try to apply this πŸ‘€

    One of the very first positions when I got into marketing was the position of a copywriter. ✍️ Practically, I have been doing it most of my life. πŸ˜… Lately, I have observed some aspects that could help me to write better emails (because I have a newsletter too) and collected some findings. πŸ“Œ I will pin them here, so you (and me) can get back to these: 1️⃣ Understand the audience You need to know with whom you speak otherwise you miss the aim. Create a list of people (or persona) and observe the tone of voice (how your ideal customer speaks). Then, you can customise the style. 2️⃣ Personalize Address the recipient by name ("I get your point Nika...") – Ensure you don't overuse them. Because when you use them too much, you can scare the other side. It sounds then like AI. 3️⃣ Be specific Try to give more details because you make an impression that you know what you are talking about (credibility/authority/trustworthiness). 4️⃣ Use of pronouns "I/We" vs "You". Phrase your copy so it’s predominantly reader-centric, rather than company- or sender-centric. When you use "you", the reader knows he/she is in the centre of the interest and has the attention. 5️⃣ Format for readability It is about design. And even text can be designed. Create short paragraphs consisting of a maximum of 3 lines. Try to skim it but still have crucial details there. Numbers and capital letters also matter. 6️⃣ Demonstrate on examples If you show a case study or a testimonial from an authority, you become more credible, and people are likely to do what you want. (Proof.) 7️⃣ Use CTA BUT! Use it as a "stand-alone" line. When you use the CTA at the end of the sentence, it will go unnoticed. Create a special single-separated line for that so it will stand out. Keep the CTA short as well. One piece of advice on the top: Marketing is about psychology most of the time. Observe people and their behavior and you will be closer to them. πŸ™‚ If you liked these findings, you may like my newsletter too. Just sign up – the form is provided in the comments.πŸ‘‡

    Can you share more about how to be specific without it turning into an essay?

    @hafid0x00 it goes hand in hand with demonstration examples (have a look at my text – I demonstrated an example with "I get your point Nika...") – I also proved by this example in this text that I know what I am talking about. PRO tip: to catch attention – use images for demonstration so you will "disrupt the text form with formatting.

    @hafid0x00 The second thing is that – when you are an authority and people take you seriously, they are more likely to read essays. :)

    @vertikanigam Thank you! I would say that visuals matter more but text + images = they complement each other :) thank you!

    Mastering copy is key in marketing. I've been learning a lot about copy while creating content on LinkedIn and recently on YouTube. It's all about grabbing the attention and then delivering what is promised.

    @busmark_w_nika I already signed up like when you're asking for tips here before starting the newsletter. I do like the one newsletter where you talk about if "Sarcasm is good or not" maybe from last week.
