The Basics of Copywriting

What follows are the basic fundamentals of copywriting you’ll need to know as a copywriter.

1. Know Your Audience

As a copywriter, who do you think you’re writing for?

Understanding your audience, and how to connect with them, is critical to writing effective marketing materials.

“Learn all you can about people and what makes them tick. You are not in the business of writing words... you are in the business of motivating human beings to take action.” — Mark Everett Johnson

Try some of these steps to get started:

👉Visit websites that offer similar products and services to your client. Take note of the type of language they use and topics they cover.

👉Read as much marketing material as you can find that targets a similar group of people as your client. Are there any promotions that stand out? Consider what makes them so effective.

👉Visit online forums of your target audience and see the issues they discuss and what seems important to them.

👉If possible, talk to people in your target audience. Get to know what they’re like and what matters in their lives.

2. Do Your Research

Another fundamental of copywriting is providing extensive proof that your product or service is effective.

Try to answer questions like:

What are the product’s features and benefits?

How does it work?

What will it do for the user?

What makes the service your client offers better than the competition’s?

What technical, medical, financial, or similar proof is there to support the claims your client is making about their product or service?

What scientific research has been done on a topic you’re writing about on a website?

3. Understand the 3 Fundamental Rules of Selling

Whether you’re writing sales copy or website content, a solid understanding of the fundamental rules of selling will strengthen whatever you write.

Rule #1: People don’t like the idea of being sold.

Rule #2: People buy things for emotional, not rational, reasons.

Seven age-old emotional triggers that copywriters often use are:

Fear

Greed

Vanity

Pride

Lust

Envy

Laziness

Positive emotions you can also target include:

Curiosity

Optimism

Altruism

Love

Whimsy

Confidence

Passion

Rule #3: Once sold, people need to satisfy their emotional decisions with logic.

4. Talk About Benefits, Not Features

Features are technical aspects of a product, service, or website.

On the other hand, benefits are the specific advantages a product, service, or website can offer a prospect. How can that product improve their life?

Copywriting will include the features of whatever you’re writing about, but what you’ll really need to focus on are the benefits.

“The only way to advertise is by not focusing on the product” — Calvin Klein

5. Start with a Bang

No area of copywriting gets more attention than headlines and leads.

These are how you catch your reader’s attention. And if you fail, the rest of your writing is pointless.

When you’re crafting headlines, keep in mind that a good headline should accomplish most of the following:

Set the tone for the entire piece of writing, reflecting the emotions and personal values that will be expressed.

State exactly what the piece of writing is about. The more specific, the better.

Include key benefits of the product or service being offered.

Communicate something of value to the reader.

Suggest that the written piece contains something unique that the reader has never read before.

Regardless of how you decide to write a lead, it always needs to do two things:

Deliver the big promise.

Introduce the big idea.

6. Use Clear, Personal Language

Whatever you write, your reader should feel like it’s written just for him.

Strive to be on the same level as your prospect and use the type of language they would naturally use.

7. End with a Call to Action

As the purpose of copywriting is to persuade the reader to take some kind of action, always make this clear at the end of your webpage, sales letter, or other marketing materials.

Morning Charge: Create a Reading Routine

Read Your Way into Breakthrough

If a book has 20,000 pages and you decided to read two pages per day.

In 7 days, you've read 14 pages and you are left with 19,986.

In 30 days, you've read 56 pages.

Don't be under pressure.

Don't jump at people that said I read a book per week or I read a book in two days.

You learn to sing by singing even if you went to music school, you will still have to sing.

So is reading. Start with reading a page per day.

One day, you'll call me and say sire, I read 29 pages today before I went to the office.

That's okay.

Read to learn. Don't read to finish a book.

SEE YOU AT THE TOP.

How to Develop a Reading Habit

Evening Charge: Meditation is Powerful, Use it to Stay Powerful

Are You Sleeping Too Much?

Sweet!

A little sleep, a little slumber....

Just like driving Hummer jeep.

...so shall your poverty arrive.

Tear rubber.

Latest version of poverty.

The Bible said so. Prov 6:10

My name is Tolu Adebayo and I have something to say. Please listen now.

Pro 6:4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

Follow me as I follow scripture.

Pro 6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Are you there? Let's go 🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️

Pro 6:10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

Are You Sleeping Too Much? That Bible chapter ask you to have ant 🐜🐜🐜🐜 as mentor. Read it please 🥺🥺

Remember to listen to the audio experience of the same topic but a different conversation.

This is how to answer that question.

1. Who are you following?

Answer: Rolando

2. How many hours does he spent on training?

Answer: 12 hours

3. Are you doing like him or more than him?

That is how to answer questions that have scientific, theological, sociological and psychological interpretation.

I will never be caught unaware.

If your mentor reads too books per week and you've not read a book this week, you might be sleeping too much.

Sir, I work in bank, so I don't have time.

Okay, I understand, if you don't have plan to retire well, the bank has plan to keep hiring the young hands. Will you be young forever?

Don't be the guy that sleep too much. I'm not alleging you.

I am alerting you. Are you there?

I am to your success all round the clock.

If you are young and you don't have a mentor, you are a dangerous guy.

Having mentor helps you to double test if you are going to be successful or not.

How can you tell a guy that doesn't have mentor that he is sleeping too much?

Do you want him or her to have medical issues?

But as soon as possible, you will find out that there were moment when your mentor didn't sleep more than four hours in 24 hours.

Some less than that for a week or some months.

You'll find out our WizKid and Bishop Oyedepo will spend hours practising, rehearsing and make sure that they got the best of luck.

ARE YOU SLEEPING TOO MUCH?

When you discover yourself, when you find your mate(mentor), you will know whether you are sleeping too much.

Evening Charge: Fail Forward Because You'll surely fail. An error is a repeated mistakes.

Is an error to try nothing because you want to fail.

If you must fail, fail forward, learn better, act smarter

You must fail.... Sorry, that's the truth, unless you are God.

If you are Righteous a man, the Bible said you will fail 7 times.

Don't feel back with your failure

Be glad you did try and it didn't work out.

Add it to your testimony.

The world want to hear it and it must be powerful

I went to sch, graduated, get a job and die at 100.

Boring story!

So, fail forward, try again, write the date, your story go sweet, I swear. There is no crime in mistake as much as it can be managed.
