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.
