    Can't believe you only have 5.3K subs, you deserve at least x100. The value you already have given is worth that at least. Keep them coming. Subbed.

    Clearly the best copy-write blog on CZcams. Not only for it's content but for how it is presented. You pull people in with your presentation, the same way you do with your writing. That in itself creates trust. Well done!

    5 Copywriting mistakes
    1. You are afraid to polarize
    Spend more time writing about who and what it can help
    2. You talk about features not benefits
    Benefits are outcomes a user will experience after using your service
    It answers the question what's in it for me?
    3. You don't think mobile first
    Use shorter headlines
    Larger fonts
    4. You get too fancy
    Use a very simple set of words
    The goal of every copy is to get your reader to read the next line
    Always restate important benefits and call to action
    Never let the design of the copy guide the copy that you write, they should instead flow side by side
    5. You don't say because
    Always explain why you do a particular stuff
    Secrets to writing a good copy
    1. Write bad copy
    2. Fix it
    Write result repeats

    I'm struggling with some web copy. We are in an early market and the only people looking for our product are insanely technical. Our better funded competitors have been working to educate the market and drive awareness of the space, while the little fish like us preach better tech. Is this a mistake? I am torn and my copy shows it.

    Alexandra, I didn't understand what do you mean by "Afraid to Polarize" what does mean this in Marketing?

    • @AlexCattoni
      @AlexCattoni  Před 3 lety

      It means afraid to take a stance on something or "turn people off" because of your personality/opinions. Basically, just be you and don't try to filter yourself to appeal to a broader audience
