I've worked on over 300+ landing pages.

These 12 learning will help you convert traffic into customers 🧵
1. Your Story Counts

You’re walking social proof.

If you can tell your story, then you can sell your story.

Your transformation proves you can transform someone else.

Write it as if you were trying to inspire your younger self.
2. Talk Directly To Customers

Ditch the "we offer" or "we solve" and "our solution."

This copy focuses on your company and what you do.

When your copy should focus on the visitor.

Start your sentences with "you" or a verb to directly talk to your customers.
3. One Idea

Your site should focus on selling one idea.

The rest of your headlines and copy should support this idea.

The more claims, the more confusion.

One idea. One goal.
4. Your Headlines Carry Heavy Weight

People scan websites.

When they scan, 80% of consumers will only read the headlines.

So, ppl should read your headlines and be persuaded to take action.

Headlines should say:

- What you solve
- What you do
- Result of using it
5. Eliminate Confusion

Your copy should eliminate doubt and confusion.

So, be clear, concise, and obsess over clarity.

Tell the consumer how your product helps them.

What they get.

And how their life will be better.

Leave no room for confusion to create doubt.
6. Let The Consumer Visualize Themself

Share others’ journey, transformation, and progress so potential customers can imagine themself at the finish line with a gold medal around their neck.

If others did it, so can you.

If I did it, so can you.

Now, it’s your turn.
7. Use Data to Back Claims

Amazon puts an emphasis on replacing adjectives with data.

Let the numbers do the talking.

It’ll support your claim.

It’s more powerful to say:

95% of marketers love…

Than

Most marketers love...
8. Use Repeated Keywords

Talk to your customers, interview them, or survey them.

List the repeated keywords they mention.

Take these same keywords and inject them into your copy.

This will help you direct your words towards your ideal customer.
9. CTA’s Should Remind Consumers of The Value

Instead of being vague, use your CTA as a reminder of what’s on the other end of their action.

It should present the value creation on the other side.
10. Sell How You Create an Outcome

Your products make the outcome possible.

But your copy convinces how your product creates the outcome.

Your copy should work cohesively to portray a transformation that hasn’t occurred yet.
11. Inject Social Proof

Social proof is a physiological phenomenon.

People do what others do.

And believe what others have accomplished.

Use this throughout your site to showcase the greatest outcomes becoming a reality by people no different from potential customers.
12. Add Texture

Adding texture to your copy makes it feel more conversational.

Gary Provost says to "write music."

Use a short sentence.

Another one.

Then write a long-winded sentence that takes the customer on a journey with words that feel like a melody.

13 Copywriting Tips From Apple 🧵
1. Focus on one idea

Each Apple headline focuses on one idea.

It draws all attention and awareness to that benefit.

By keeping the focus on one idea, Apple is able to communicate its message effectively.
2. Write for scanners

76% of website goers are scanners.

Apple follows three rules when writing for this:

- Big headlines to showcase one idea
- Use sub-headlines to entice scanners to read
- Use the inverted pyramid for paragraphs (biggest benefit to smallest)

Mailchimp was acquired by Intuit for $12B.

But first, it was a side hustle for 7 years.

Until 2009, when Mailchimp's userbase exploded from 85k to 450k users in one year.

These 3 tactics led to Mailchimp's growth 🧵
1. Free Forever Plan

In 2009 Mailchimp introduced their “Free Forever Plan” where users could use Mailchimp for free, forever, until they reached 2000 subscribers on their email list.
This gave users not only a taste-test of MailChimp as software but it also gave users the groundwork to start building their email list.

Compelling copy combined with good storytelling is an unfair advantage.

An unfair advantage that the Wall Street Journal used to drive $2 Billion in revenue over 28 years using the same sales letter.

Here are 7 copywriting tips to help you write sticky stories 🧵
1. Use Familiar Words

Every audience has words familiar to their interests.

Injecting these words into your stories connects the familiarity gap.

And unfamiliar words create seclusion.

Gary Provost with a great example:
2. Inject Real Stories

Your story is your social proof.

The more a consumer can see that you were once in their shoes, the more that consumer will see you as the guide they’ve been looking for.

Customers want to know you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.

It’s my communities growth marketing questions, challenges, and plateaus getting broken down into an “all about that action boss” case study.
