      This was great, I have been researching "catchy recruitment headlines" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Fonucas Ziyyatt Tip - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got great results with it.

    "First write bad copy, then fix it!" I love that. I struggle so much with copywriting because I'm such a perfectionist and I get so angry when I find myself starring at the screen and not a single word comes out for the life of me...

    • @DynamicMentalFitness
      @DynamicMentalFitness 2 роки тому +4

      I'm the opposite - I have TOO MUCH ready to 'hurricane' its way onto the screen - my dread is the 'fixing' part. I gotta stop getting all bent out of shape when editing tools start slapping my content around. Perfectionism is a shared problem only my editing tool is the perfectionist and I dread the negotiation of editing - it's like I take it personally lol

      @@overcomerssports1768 I have the benefit (sometimes irritating curse) of a very creative mind thanks to years of training in art, writing, and music - shutting it up when I don't need it is the challenge.
      Stephen King says that if you want more to say - and have an easier time writing it - then you have to take in more than you give, meaning heavy daily reading and research habits which most copywriters are going to end up doing anyway if they follow an effective process.

    How do you tag emails to go automatically in to certain sub folders?
    I can really use that. I’m often manually moving emails around.
    Btw - another tip, focus on writing about the transformation. This can sometimes work more effectively than focusing on benefits.
    If you can provoke visually stimulating copy which expresses and shares the transformation they’ll gain (benefit from) - then you’re golden.
    This works well for sales pages and emails.
    Take the reader from where they are now to where they desire to be when all is said and done.
