writing copy that selves okay guys so copywriting   what the heck is copywriting well copywriting is 
very specific because it's different from content   writing copywriting is trying to get somebody to 
do some sort of action and that's why it's very   important that you understand how to do this in 
this video i'm going to walk you through all the   steps of exactly what you need to do and keep 
in mind i was not always a copywriter when i   was in school i didn't want to write anything i 
barely wanted to write my name okay and i didn't   like it but once you get good at this once 
you realize that you can craft a few words   and it can return thousands or hundreds 
of thousands of dollars off a few words   um you're gonna like it you're gonna like it a lot

and every time i go live or if i upload a video   now in copywriting we're going to have what's 
called a cta a cta is nothing more than a call   to action we're asking somebody to do something 
we're asking them to opt in we're asking them   to download something we're asking them to buy 
something we're asking them to join a list but we   are asking them to do something and that's called 
copywriting and all copywriting is going to have a   cta on it now i've done copywriting where i've 
changed around a few words and i've gone from   whatever my results were to a 90 increase just in 
changing a few words and i want to talk about some   of those words in this video too so that you can 
use these in all of your copywriting now what's   important is that in all your copywriting that 
in the very beginning you get somebody to want to   take some sort of action and what i mean by this 
is the average person who says they went to a blog   will read less than two minutes before they leave 
so you've got to get in there you've got to make   an impression and you've got to get them to do 
something as quickly as possible i love this one   right here i borrowed it from neil patel but this 
is his opt-in and it says do you want more traffic   says hey i'm neil patel i'm determined to make a 
business grow my only question is will it be yours   and then all you have to do is put in your website 
and you're not really sure what's going to happen   when you put in that website so this kind of goes 
against the grain of what a lot of copywriting is   where they know exactly what's going to happen but 
there is a curiosity factor to this and this has   worked for him very well now you also want to keep 
your copy clean and when i say clean what i mean   is good grammar good spelling it's been said that 
81 of the women who find a spelling error in copy   will leave it and not purchase it not opt in not 
do anything and 77 percent of men said the same   thing that they would leave and not do business 
with that company i do wonder why it's different   from men and women don't you so when you're 
doing copywriting you should be able to inform   inspire persuade somebody to do something you 
also want to develop your brand and you want   to get sales now let's talk about the types of 
copywriting the first one is brand copywriting   this is where you're building your brand this 
is where you're building loyalty this is where   you're building your name so that people will 
remember you brand copywriting is very important   okay let's take a look at some of the copywriting 
tools see you're lucky nowadays there's actually   tools out there you don't have to come up with 
all this stuff in your head the first one i want   to talk about is any word so let's check it out so 
any word is a data driven copywriting for anybody   it's an ai copy generator that uses powerful 
predictive analysis to drive sales the insights   provided in their analytics are incredibly useful 
and they've been found to increase conversion   rates by up to 30 percent for leads generated by 
facebook ad campaigns with businesses like ted   baker seeing a whopping 946 percent roast which 
is return on ad spend now that's pretty impressive   and that's just one of the tools that you have 
access to right now for copywriting some of you   may say well i don't want to spend any money on 
any tools ah you're going to spend your time doing   these things and your time has value and i think 
a lot of people forget that you know they say well   i don't want to do that because i could save a 
hundred dollars but that hundred dollars what's   your time worth uh if you're a good copywriter 
it's worth more than a hundred dollars an hour   right so you've got to spend some money on this 
these tools are incredibly useful not to mention   the fact that they help you get things done so 
much faster now let's check out their pricing   since we're talking about that anyhow first off 
it's free up to a thousand words a month so you   could use it for free so you could try it and find 
out if it makes a difference for you if you want   data driven basics it's 99 a month up to 30 000 
words or 79 a month billed annually and then data   driven unlimited is 3.99 a month unlimited words 
239 dollars a month built annually that's not much   money to have really good copy that's going to 
make you money the next one is grammarly i cannot   say enough about grammarly i have grammarly turned 
on and when i'm writing an email if i'm writing a   script if i'm writing anything it's always behind 
me checking me right and it checks me even on the   free version which is extremely value if nothing 
else guys get the free version of grammarly   but they also have paid versions too which 
are immensely helpful so let's look at their   pricing real quick the free version is no cost 
for unlimited but still highly useful version   the premium is 12 a month for more specific 
suggestions and increased capabilities and then   the business one is from 12.50 per month next one 
i want to talk about is word tune so let's check   that out right now all right here's word tune uh 
refining your copy really is very time consuming   so wouldn't it be kind of cool if you could 
type the first thing that comes to your head and   get suggestions on how to make it better that's 
exactly what word tune does for you you can type   in up to 280 characters and the software gives you 
recommended rewrites to inspire your creativity   with the premium version you can even adjust 
the tone shorten the copy or even make it longer   you'll still be in charge of the ideas but word 
tune can make them even better now let's check   out the pricing on this it's free for 10 rewrites 
per day that's a lot guys premium is 9.99 a month   for unlimited rewrites and premium for teams you 
just gotta inquire at the website and they'll   tell you now some pointers about copywriting know 
your audience do some research let's say you're   selling a a salve that people rub on for arthritis 
pain know what kind of arthritis pains they have   know what age groups get that know what things 
it prevents them from doing i know a lot of tv   commercials i've seen show a person who's elderly 
participating in a really vigorous type sport and   the person watching that's going wow i got to get 
that that arthritis cream because i want to be   able to do that too at that age so make sure that 
you understand what their pain points are if you   do this your copywriting will lead itself to being 
a whole lot more successful it doesn't hurt to   have a fictional character somebody who embodies 
who the audience is that character that could be   them too they can see themselves in that character 
so this character building can be very useful in   your copywriting now check out the screen here 
once you've got your persona outline you want to   ask yourself some of these questions who are you 
currently selling to who would you like to sell to   what do your current customers love about your 
offerings what struggles do your customers face   and how do you help them solve these problems 
this information will guide you as you begin   writing your copy hey guys please please entertain 
the idea of these ai tools we finally have things   that will actually do some of our thinking 
for us i know some of us are scared of that   but it does a really good job it's programmed with 
the right words it knows what works it's analyzed   millions and millions of words you know these 
tools that i mentioned earlier in this video can   really speed up the process but not only speed 
up the process but make it better than what you   could actually do on your own you don't have the 
knowledge that these ai data banks do that's why   they can write a whole lot better copy that you're 
probably going to be able to write on your own   unless you're some expert copywriter they can 
also incorporate a tone they can incorporate   an educational tone or a humorous tone or a 
serious tone or whatever you want they can   actually change up the words to incorporate 
those tone and that's really hard to do as an   individual human to figure that out in all of our 
copy whereas these ai programs can do it for you   let's take a look at another example now this is 
xero accounting software and they do an excellent   job at really highlighting the software's value 
proposition what it does is it breaks down exactly   what the tool does in just four words simplify 
everyday business tasks now that's pretty cool   it also says who they do it for small businesses 
accountants bookkeepers locally and around the   world so this doesn't mean when you're doing this 
copywriting that it has to be very extensive or   very long sometimes shorter is much better 
i personally like to include storytelling   into my copywriting too 90 of the people say that 
they will read copy more readily if it has a story   attached to it than if it doesn't so you can have 
your personal story you can have stories of your   customers you can have testimonials but that story 
process really involves the reader and we'll get   better results for you let's check out the bestie 
test all right here it is the best it says case in   point all right i'm going to show you an example 
from scott's cheap flights scott tells a story   about how he chooses the flights he recommends 
and then shows you his checklist so it says   when flight experts at scott's cheap flights 
scour potential deals they're not just looking for   something extraordinarily cheap the flights also 
have to be good that's why we developed the bestie   test is it a flight that's both cheap and good 
enough for your best friend so then they uh show   you here uh what you're gonna get and it's cheap 
fare good routing convenient layovers good airline   and not last minute so this is one of the things 
that really gets people involved and copy because   this copy here is speaking to all their pain 
points all the things that they're looking for   uh you know i know a lot of times i've gone and 
searched for flights and i found the cheapest   flight but you know there was a four hour layover 
or you know there were two layovers or whatever   the case may be it wasn't a convenient and sheep 
flight so they're going after the people that want   it convenient and cheap and a good flight okay and 
a good airline so there's a lot of factors outside   of just price when you're choosing uh airline 
ticket and they're getting to the point and the   last thing i'll tell you is to make sure you've 
got reviews reviews are very important 77 of the   people online now say that before they do business 
with a company they go and read their reviews   what do your reviews look like that's something 
you may want to incorporate into your ad copy   because it's very important to people i hope this 
video has helped you out i hope you see all the   steps that can make you money right that's what we 
want to do is make money and we want to be better   at this copywriting thing and getting better
