Copywriter Trick Unveiled:
How to Write Better Copy Faster


By Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero


"Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book." Ralph Waldo Emerson's Goethe


I'm going to share with you a method guaranteed to get your copy razor sharp in a hurry. It's an old trick I learned in journalism school, and it works great to get those creative juices flowing. Since I've been using it regularly again, I write circles around my former output times. The words are just at my fingertips.

How did I do it? (More importantly, how can you do it too?) Well, you probably already know you must have curiosity to become a good writer. Take your natural curiosity to the next level and become an avid observer.

When you're driving, look at the car next to you on the road. Pick up a can of beans in the grocery store. Check out your shampoo while in the shower. Notice the colors and smells. What qualities does it have that set it apart? What would make someone want to buy what you're looking at? You're surrounded with opportunity to sharpen your writing skills. It's easy.

Here's how --

Describe appearance of product
Identify Features (look for complementary and contrasting qualities)
Single Out Main Benefit
Create your Benefit Statement or Summary

Let your imagination go. This is only an exercise. If it were a real product, of course you'd do your research. But our goal isn't to actually sell this copy to a client. It's designed to open up and free your mind.


THE RULES:


You don't have to write down your observations. Just practice doing them. You'll be amazed at how quickly your writing improves.

Limit yourself to five minutes on each "product."

Brainstorm. Do NOT edit yourself until you're done.

Stop on time.

Here's a case in point. Today, I took Shadow, my border collie/chow mix, on a hike through the mountains. (I should say, he took me. If you've ever walked a trotting pony on a leash, you have an idea what it's like to walk Shadow.) So, while being drug behind my dog, I noticed pretty yellow weeds lining the path. I picked those to represent my "product" and played my copywriting game.


DESCRIBE APPEARANCE:
butter -colored spray of petals, braided green stem, burst of color, gently moving with the breeze.


IDENTIFY FEATURES:
soothing, calming, appealing color contrast to trees, heaviest around the path as though guiding hikers


SINGLE OUT MAIN BENEFIT:
Rejuvenating


BENEFIT STATEMENT:
"After hiking with these soothing butter-colored wildflowers lining the trail, you'll return rejuvenated and ready to face the day."


Maybe not award-winning copy, but with practice I'm sure I'll do better on our next walk.

Would You Like To Test Your New Ad?

Try Ablewise.com.

As a free member you get to post 10 free ads which you can target
to 10 cities of your choice in up to 10 countries. To increase your ad
performance you can also target by category and sub-category.


Two very valuable features of Ablewise.com which combine
very effectively with the ad-writing articles you receive are
i) free stats by email and
ii) free ad-modifications.


Once a week you will receive an email from Ablewise.com
with free stats on the performance of your ads like how many
times your ad-headline and ad-copy were viewed.


Using these stats and the next ad-writing article you receive you
can tweak your existing ad and renew it for another week of free
exposure.


Here is a suggestion on how to use the feature of 10 free ads
and free renewal to come up with your best ad possible.


Start by posting just one ad at first. After you receive your first weekly
stats use the next ad-writing article and create a new ad-headline and
ad-copy. (check the stats first - if the previous headline or copy shows
good promise, don't re-write it completely, just tweak it.


Leave the first ad as it is and post your new or tweaked ad using your
second free ad slot. At the end of the next week you will get stats for
both ads. Check how the 2nd ad has performed compared with the 1st.
Use the next article to tweak or rewrite your 2nd ad and post it in
the 3rd free ad slot. Keep doing this until you reach your 10th free ad
slot or you come up with an ad that proves most responsive. (As you
will soon notice, Ablewise.com becomes an online record of your ads,
so even if you lose your ads they will be available at the program)


Now upgrade this sure-winner to a paid ad and start earning for real.


P.S. To receive accurate stats post all ads to the same city using
the same category and sub-category.

All free ads are valid for 30 days. To ensure you have all your
ads continuously active simply login to your account once every
30 days for each ad and use the free renewal option.
