80% of newbie copywriters make the mistake of starting from a blank page.

This leads to frustration, time wastage, and eventually giving up.

That’s why I use copywriting systems.

Here are 7 *creative* formulas to help you write copy faster (apart from AIDA & PAS)

1. The BAB Formula

Before: How life was before you tried the solution

After: How the solution changed your life

Bridge: What you sell that proved to bridge the gap Like

Justin Welsh used it to write this hook👇🏻

2. Three Reasons Why

Before you start writing, ask yourself these 3 questions from a reader’s perspective and answer them in your copy.

-Why are you the best?

-Why should I believe you?

-Why should I buy it right now?

Benefit: What’s the desired outcome for the reader

4. The 3S Formula

Star: The main character of your story aka your one ideal reader.

Story: Their struggle story to find a solution.

6. So What Formula

Use this to convert any feature into a benefit.

Here’s how…list a feature. Ask so what?

Answer the question from a reader’s perspective till you arrive at a tangible outcome.

Outcome: “What’s in it for me?”

Like Apple’s copy for the iPod.

Conviction: Presenting your solution as the right one

Action: Motivate customers to take action
