This was a great post. I feel like I’m already a better copywriter just for reading it. Thank you, Jason. You have a talent and I’m looking forward to reading your next post.

Awesome info, Jason, and served up in such a clear and immediately implementable piece of writing. I too really like the part about being positive. Straight from Law of Attraction, and so true. And it’s such a no-brainer, once you think about it, but I have to admit that it’s easy to forget.

The other section I find particularly valuable is the Third Headline!

Thanks and keep the info coming!

What’s a swipe file? A squeeze page? Guess I don’t have to tell you I’m new at this. Thanks for the tips. I got a lot out of this – not the least of which is to analyze sales letters. I hate high pressure sales, but I have to admit – it does seem to work. Since I can’t change the system, I’ll have to let the system change me.

Nice reminders, one and all tips. It is a wonder how often I forget one or more of those tips when writing. It might be a good idea to keep a todo list posted close by when writing to remind a body todo certain things as they write those masterpieces.

Thanks for the great reminders.

Jason, reading your copy makes me excited about copywriting and raring to go on my own. Being able to motivate, as well as educate, is the sign of a true teacher. Thank you!

Hi Jason,

I only recently met you online and I really like your approach already…

While I write copy, I’m learning to write copy for online purposes and your tips are excellent. They are also easy to put into practice.

One of your commenters wondered if they ‘had’ to write their drafts by hand, and hoped it might work as well to follow your tip about keying, over and over, great copy samples…

I’d like to suggest that when you’re writing affirmations, write them by hand.

When you’re writing copy, key it up! Save time, edit and edit until you’re sure it reads well, smoothly, and you’ve found every single ‘darn’ typo in the piece. Make finding typos absolutely a challenge, challenge yourself, challenge other proof-readers, just do it!

Writing positive copy is super important… I agree 100%. Learn to do it, too.

And Jason, back to your idea about keying copy samples you like, it’s a great idea, a really great idea. This will help new writers to adopt positive language, learn key words, develop flow and much more! I’m going to use this idea for sure.

Thanks much, please keep me on your list – Michele!
