How to write words that sell

7 profitable lessons on the craft of selling with the written word from David Ogilvy

aka the "Original Mad Man"

aka the "Father of advertising"

[THREAD]

P.S: He bought 👇chateau with the money he made from writing ads
1. "Don't beat about the bush - go straight to the point"

Your goal with any piece of copy is to SELL.

A product.
A service.
An idea.

Whatever.

If you don't believe in what you sell, then don't bother writing about it.

Go big or go home.
2. Research > Writing

"Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals."

Before advertising, Ogilvy worked for George Gallup, founder of Gallop Poll where he learned the power of knowing your target audience.

How do big brands like Apple turn customers into fans?

How do political parties manipulate the minds of voters?

They cater to the 7 Hidden Addictions of the Human Mind

Read this *Dangerous* //THREAD// to discover their secrets

5 Big Lessons I've learned from reading 100s of Books

and why reading is still the best ROI activity you can do

📕📗📘📙

[THREAD]

👇👇👇
1) "A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points."

The most powerful books aren't the ones that teach you new skills but the ones that chance your perspective on life.

A new perspective can change the way you live.

That's powerful.
2) Rereading your favourite book is never a waste of time

I've read 100s of books but of those, maybe 15-20 would make my all time favourite list.

What is success and how do you get it?

Regardless of what success means to you

it helps to know which ingredients make up success so you know how to recreate your own version of the “success recipe.”

Here are the 7 Ingredients of S.U.C.C.E.S.S

[THREAD]
1. S-ense of Direction

Human beings are goal achieving machines.

If you want to be happy, you must always be working towards a goal or a mission.

The goal itself does not matter.

What does matter is that you're chasing one and that it's significant to you.
2. U-nderstanding

People don’t react to situations. They react to their *unique perception* of situations.

Understanding means being brave enough to see how things *actually* are by zooming out and detaching yourself from the situations you encounter.
