7 *Genuinely Creative* Copywriting Tips to Nail Your Messaging
Gurus will tell you to “write like you talk.” That is incomplete advice that’s not even creative.
Believe me, I’ve been a copywriter for more than 1.5 years now.
Instead, use these 7 *genuinely creative* tips to nail your copywriting like a PRO
1. Rule of 3
Three is the smallest number required to make a pattern and makes your writing more:
-Brief
-Satisfying
-Memorable
Next time you want to say something, think in THREEs.
2. Metaphors
Metaphors are persuasive because they are:
- Relatable
- Recognizable
- Easy to understand
And they bring surprise & delight to the meaning of your copy.
Because it’s using concepts that aren’t alike and yet have something in common.
3. Reframing
People react differently to information based on how it’s presented to them.
Make it a habit to present information in a way that stands out.
Find your big idea and keep reframing until that idea makes your copy a class apart.
4. Anaphora
If you repeat a word or phrase at the start of a sentence, it’s called Anaphora.
Here’s how it helps:
-Holds attention longer
-Adds rhythm to your copy
-Promotes a predictable structure
And of course, it adds a dramatic effect to your copy.
5. Epiphora
If you repeat a word or phrase at the end of a sentence, it’s called epiphora.
It’s another literary device with the same effect as Anaphora.
Use this if you want to end your sentences on a dramatic, more predictable note.
6. Be more specific
Specificity invites attention. And attention invites engagement, which keeps a reader on the page.
Be specific with your:
-Target audience
-Numbers -Benefits
-USPs
And see your copy convert better because it’s read & understood in a better way.
7. Reason Why
Psychology says people respond to buying requests better when they’re presented with a reason.
Include this in your copy:
-Reason why it’s better
-Reason why to believe
-Reason why to act now
And see it convert better as a result of readers trusting you.
