I was skeptical too.

The First Session
I’ll be honest,
It was boring as shit at first.
It felt like a waste of time.
It’s slow.
You’re not creating.
You can read 10 letters much faster.
I almost quit.
But I’m glad I didn’t.

Quicker Learning
The ironic thing about writing slower is that you learn faster.
You’re forced to think about each sentence.
Why is it here?
What psychological principle is being used?
How does this advance the story?
You only ask these questions if you slow down.

Conversational Copy
98% of writers online sound like robots.
And this makes for a very unengaging read.
Handwriting the masters breaks down this barrier.
You appreciate the power of simple words.
Friendly phrases.
And suddenly, you write like it too.

Internalising Tactics
I’ve learned more from 1 sales page than I have 1 book.
Why?
The ideas stick.
You remember the methods.
Guarantees. Leads. Offers.
Remember, these letters made millions.
Using the same principles will make you in high demand.

More Reflective
Handwriting is boring.
And boredom is a great state for your mind.
You reflect more.
And guess what?
You're writing great copy, from great businesses.
Imagine what you have ideas about...
Active thinking is powerful.

Small Wins
Although we don’t admit it,
We all need small wins.
You run low on motivation & doubt your path.
This exercise is easy.
And after 45 minutes, you feel like you’ve done something important.
This helps build and maintain momentum.
Crucial for long term results.

You Discover the Greats
2 months ago, I’d heard of 3 copywriters.
Now I know loads.
If you’re serious about your trade, knowing the history is important.
Plus, you find your favourites.
And emulate their style.
Remember, great writers imitate, then innovate.

A few tips to maximise:
As you write, take notes and highlight the areas that made you think.
These are powerful statements and ideas you can swipe.
At the end, write a summary.
The more you reflect, the more you learn.
