[[[ Painting a picture with words ]]]

Do you know how to write words that can make your reader...

Drool
Envision a future
Laugh
Cry
... or feel anything at all?

This is what separates a good ad from a boring one...

A thread
A marketing mortal attempts this tactic by using big words, impressive statements, and lengthy copy

But, therein lies the problem...

The big words and statements will quickly make for boring copy

Which loses your reader...

Making your "lengthy copy" pointless
If you've ever struggled to get your copy to convert, you're most likely not making your reader FEEL anything at all

They are simply reading words

When I write an ad, I am selling a concept, not a product

What does this mean?
This means I sell things like:

-Freedom
-A better life
-More status
-Power
-Notoriety
-Fame

Even though, I sell copywriting products and services, I am selling the concept of the above items

This is done by painting a picture of what life will be like for the purchaser
I sell freedom to most of you who are on my list

You are looking for a simple way to get out of your 9-5 or become secure financially

I do this by painting a picture of writing from your kitchen table

I say things like, "I write words on a google doc for money"
This paints a picture of ease and freedom

I write some words on a google doc, click send, and boom

I'm done

The client is happy, I get paid

That's a beautiful "picture" I've "painted" in your mind, isn't it?
Here's another example...

When I write to weight loss clients, I use phrases to paint a picture in the reader's mind...

"Picture this..."
"Imagine what you'll feel like when..."
"Take a minute and think about..."
"Stop and FEEL what it would be like if..."
Do you see how those phrases would work?

It tells the reader to picture, imagine, feel how the product I'm selling would actually be once they've purchased

After they do that, the CTA is nearly pointless, they are GOING to click "buy now"
They've already experienced the concept of who they will become in their mind

They've already experienced and mentally used this product in their mind

The close is a piece of cake now
