Agora Financial has made over $1,000,000,000 with one skill:

Copywriting.

Ryan Mcgrath is their copy chief and uses ONE formula to write kick-ass copy that sells.

Here’s the breakdown of his “PUMPP” framework:
Problem

Start by highlighting your reader’s biggest problem:

• Trigger emotion
• Agitate to get attention
• Then speak to their desires

If you want people to pay attention, talk about their problems. Image
Urgency

People hate spending money.

So we postpone buying decision till the “time is right”.

Nudge your reader by:

• Limiting time
• Limiting available units
• Reminding them of the consequences of inaction

People won’t take action unless you give them a reason to. Image

I’ve listened to over 30 hours of his interviews to discover his secrets.

Write your reader’s autobiography

Join the conversation they’re having in their head.

What are their:

• Fears
• Hopes
• Desires
• Dreams
• Frustrations

If you describe someone's problem better than they can describe it themselves, they’ll trust you to have the solution.
Help your reader imagine a better story

Everyone is looking for the story they want for themselves.

It’s your job as a copywriter to give it to them:

• 6 pack abs
• Beach house
• Happier relationships

Work out what your reader wants, the tailor your copy to reflect it.

If you use it right, Twitter is the most powerful platform in the world.

But the truth is most people suck at it.

Here’re 7 advanced tips that you probably don’t know (that will 10x your results in 2023):
Delete the app.

Let’s start with some controversy.

The best Twitter experience is on a desktop (I’ll tell you why below).

Plus, the app is meant to keep you hooked. So you’re much less productive.

On the website, you’re in full control.

Here’s how:
Create lists.

Instead of making a mess of your timeline, build curated mini-timelines instead.

• Pick 1 topic
• Include all your favorite creators
• Browse your lists instead of the timeline

Bring order to the chaos.
