Copywriting

Overview

Copywriting is salesmanship in words. Great copy clarifies the offer, reduces friction in the mind, and makes the next step obvious — without hype that destroys trust.

When to Use

  • Landing pages and product pages
  • Ads and social posts
  • Email subject lines and bodies
  • CTAs, headlines, and value propositions
  • Campaign narratives

Core Practices

  • Lead with the customer’s problem or desired outcome
  • Make the offer and differentiator concrete
  • Use specific proof over vague claims
  • Write for scanning: short paragraphs, strong opens
  • One primary CTA; remove competing asks
  • Match tone to audience and channel

Principles

  • Clarity > cleverness
  • Benefits rooted in real jobs-to-be-done
  • Specificity builds belief
  • Edit ruthlessly — every word should earn its place

Verification

  • A stranger understands the offer in seconds
  • Proof supports the main claim
  • The next action is unmistakable
