1/ Write clearly! Read Strunk and White’s Elements of Style, and follow that advice. Discussing complicated ideas does not necessarily mean complicated writing. (Randy Schmidt, @randyubcp) #ElementsofStyle
1. Did you know that research is a crucial component of effective copywriting? Before you start writing, you need to understand your audience and their pain points. The more you know about your target audience, the better you can tailor your copy to their needs.
2. When conducting research, start by identifying your target audience's demographics, psychographics & behavior patterns. This information will help you craft copy that resonates with your audience and compels them to take action.
1. When writing a video script, it's important to understand that you're not just writing words on a page. You're crafting a story that will captivate & engage your audience. #copywriting #videoscripting
2. Start your video script with a strong hook that grabs your viewer's attention from the very beginning. A good hook can make the difference between someone clicking away or sticking around to watch the whole thing. #hook #videoscripting
#Writing #Headlines For #Copywriting That Grab #Attention: Tips for #Crafting Headlines That Stand Out
1. Your headline is the first impression you make on your audience. To grab attention, make sure it's specific and relevant to your audience's needs or interests. #headline #writingtips
2. Keep your headline short and sweet. Aim for 6-8 words to ensure it's easy to read and digest. #headline #writingtips
1. One of the most important aspects of e-commerce is writing compelling product descriptions that sell. In this thread, we’ll share tips and tricks for creating effective product descriptions.
2. Start by understanding your target audience. Who are they? What are their pain points? What benefits do they seek? Knowing this information will help you tailor your descriptions to meet their needs.

First, you prep ChatGPT for the task of learning about a style. Could be your style or someone else's. As an example I used Donald Trump Truth Social rants.
First prompt:
First prompt:
Now we are going to give ChatGPT sample content. I sent it a few existing rants copied from Truth Social. I started out by doing it one rant at a time but I think it's actually fine to paste them all in one longer message.
1) Been #writing by my pseudonym for close to 2 decades. Logged into my personal @Facebook page because I have a #podcast ep set to air on Monday. The page for my show was gone from the menu. Support wants legal docs in my fake name to return. They think I'm a corp. @sfwa #help
2) Gave rejection letters in both my names, docs tying myself to it, a written letter signed with declarative as asked, my DL as asked, and redacted Paypal info with my verified #pseudonym and real emails. They want the person in charge but that's me. #WTF @MetaforCreators @Meta
3) I don't know what else to give them. I'm beyond exhausted and need legitimate help from them. I even sent them the below, which is me requesting help with my page name literally in the drop-down. It's still tied to me somewhere in their system. 2nd one is their final response.
I was able to develop a writers SuperPrompt with ChatGPT - The prompt is able to analyze your stories in a very thorough way. You could use this prompt in a couple of ways I will run through some use cases in this thread #AI #writing #author #promptenginering #ChatGPT
One you can glean valuable insight into your writing. Secondly and this is a kicker. You can get ChatGPT to write in your own style by giving it a simple premise and develop ideas within your own personal story universe.
I also believe you could run the analysis by ChatGPT and ask it to give you writing coaching based on the analysis. Something that can be very valuable for you as a writer. In fact you can make it your personal writing coach, helping with your weaknesses and developing strenghts

#ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತ ವೊಂದೇ ಏಕೆ, ಯಾವ ಭಾಷೆಗೂ ಮೊದಲು ಲಿಪಿಯಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ(ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ)-ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಮಾತು ಮೊದಲು ಬರೆಹ ನಂತರ. #ಕನ್ನಡ ದ ಮೊದಲ ದಾಖಲೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿರುವುದು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯಶಕ 2-3 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೊದಲು ಕನ್ನಡ ಇರಲೇ ಇಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ತಿಳಿಯೋಣವೇ? ಹಾಗೆ ನಿರ್ಧರಿಸುವುದು ತಪ್ಪಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 1/n
3 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರವಣಿಗೆಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡವನ್ನು ಒಳಪಡಿಸಿದರು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸರಿಯಾಗಬಹುದಾದ ಊಹೆ.
ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಕ್ಕೂ ಹಾಗೇ. ಲಿಪಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾಲ ಒಂದಿತ್ತು. ಒಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಹದ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನರಿತ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆವಣಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿತು. ಅದರ ನಂತರವೂ ಮೌಖಿಕ ಪರಂಪರೆಯೂ ಜೊತೆಗೇ ಮುಂದುವರೆಯಿತು. ಮುದ್ರಣ ಬರುವವರೆಗೆ ಇದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಯ ಅರಿತಿದ್ದೇವೆ. 2/n
ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಕ್ಕೂ ಹಾಗೇ. ಲಿಪಿಯಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾಲ ಒಂದಿತ್ತು. ಒಂದು ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಹದ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನರಿತ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆವಣಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿತು. ಅದರ ನಂತರವೂ ಮೌಖಿಕ ಪರಂಪರೆಯೂ ಜೊತೆಗೇ ಮುಂದುವರೆಯಿತು. ಮುದ್ರಣ ಬರುವವರೆಗೆ ಇದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಯ ಅರಿತಿದ್ದೇವೆ. 2/n
ಪಾಣಿನಿಯ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕಾಗಲೆ ಲಿಪಿ ಇತ್ತು ಎಂಬುದು ನಿರ್ವಿವಾದ. ಆಸಕ್ತರು ವಾಸುದೇವ ಶರಣ ಅಗ್ರವಾಲ ಅವರ India as known to #Panini ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನು ಓದಬಹುದು. ವ್ಯಾಸ ವಾಲ್ಮೀಕಿಯರು ಬರಹವನ್ನು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪ ಮಾಡಿಲ್ಲ -ಅವರು ಪಾಣಿನಿಗೂ ಹಿಂದಿನವರಾದ್ದರಿಂದ ಅವರ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರವಣಿಗೆ ರೂಢಿಗೆ ಬಂದಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದಿರಬಹುದೆಂಬ ಊಹೆಯನ್ನು ನಾವು ಮಾಡಬಹುದು. 3/n

ChatGPT Just Got Better. What Does That Mean for Our Writing Assignments?

Initially, as I compared GPT-4’s relatively sophisticated responses to the flatter outputs I had grown accustomed to from GPT-3, I felt amazement and dread. (The cloak-and-dagger associations of working under an NDA for the first time probably added to the frisson.) 2/
The prose that GPT-4 produced was more precise and articulate, a bit less boring, and a bit more substantive in the way it showed the connections between ideas. 3/
(1/4) I asked ChatGPT on 2023-03-23 to write a story about an open-source machine that can travel through space, time, parallel worlds, and the multiverse.
(2/4) I also asked it to dedicate its work to the Public Domain through Creative Commons Public Dedication (CC0 / CCzero), and it did.
Here is the story dedicated to the Public Domain.

Protecting it requires more than a talisman.

I’ve been engaged in some form of writing on a regular basis for the last 10 years or so. Over the last 3-4 years I’ve had the world of publishing opened up to me. After publishing a few dozen articles, I recently published my first book. 2/
God willing I’ll have more coming out in the years ahead. I plan to continue writing books as long as I have something to say that I & others think is valuable. As a new writer, I have some notes, observations, & lessons from my experience that I think others may find helpful. 3/
Starting now w/ @AiHisano Geoff Jones and Robert Lockhart - ESC event about #writing your #firstbook #bizhis
What steps emerging business historians should take to write their first monograph?
From @AiHisano
1) think about what kind of scholar you want to be,
2) explore broader frameworks for your book than you had in your dissertation

Geoff Jones: "as much as you can, leave some space between your defense and your book, perhaps write one article to focus on your specific contributions, put yourself out there, then write a better-conceptualized book project"

2. Explore your passions and interests to find inspiration for your novel. Think badminton is run of the mill? Think again. Your local sports club might contain someone who inspires the hero or villain of your next book. #writingtips #creativity
3. Observe the world around you – read the news, trawl the Internet, pay attention to the stories unfolding before you. Scratch beneath the surface and try to figure out how and why things happen, and why people respond in certain ways. #writingtips #ideas

Finally wrote my 200th blog post. Sure it may seem small but it's been a battle and perseverance has been my only soldier. Here's my blogging story:
In 2016, I took up blogging, back then it was simply a "make money through affiliate marketing" scheme. I struggled to write and wrote anything that came to mind, I was an avid researcher and my niche was wide. I was doing fashion, health, tech, and more.
As time went by I switched a lot, there was a time my sole focus was tech then another on fashion. Eventually, I started to lose steam.
I had written 30 articles and wondered why I wasn't making money. I spent a whole year not writing anything until I got paid.
