Everyone keeps asking me for my best Copywriting prompts…



FINE.

Here they are. All of them. The ones that’ll actually make you irreplaceable.

A thread. Prompt 1:

Read your Copy and ask yourself:

“Does this actually work, or does it merely look like Copy that works?

Am I solving the problem or just checking boxes?

If I had to bet my own money on this converting, would I?”

Most Copywriters are preparing for obsolescence without realizing it.

They're collecting frameworks while AI executes them faster than any human ever could.

This thread will show you how to stay relevant. For the past decade, frameworks made copywriting feel manageable.

AIDA, PAS, BAB…

These formulas gave structure to chaos.

They made the craft feel learnable, teachable, and repeatable.

And they worked when execution speed depended solely on the writer.

Then AI entered the picture…

Most Copywriters underestimate awareness levels.

They think they only apply to their sales pages.

But they go well beyond that.

A thread. But before we get into it, let’s cover the basics to make sure we’re on the same page.

(Jump to Tweet #7 if you're advanced and don't want the crash course)

Decades ago, Copywriting-legend Eugene Schwartz noticed something that seems obvious once you see it.

People do not exist at a single point of understanding.

They’re scattered across a spectrum – from those who’ve never heard of you to those ready to buy right now.

Most people fall somewhere between.

Simply put, you do not talk to different people the same way.

This thread will make you a better writer than 90% of people online.

Skip the $297 courses.

Here’s everything you need to know about effective writing, distilled from years of studying what works and what doesn’t. PRINCIPLE 1: Have something worth saying.

Before you worry about how to write, make sure you have something interesting to say.

Because the best writing can't save a bad idea.

But a powerful idea can survive mediocre execution.

So research.

Think.

Find the insight others missed.

Because great writing starts with great thinking–not great grammar.

Most legendary Copywriting campaigns have one thing in common.

A Big Idea.

'Facelift in a jar,' 'The 4-Hour Workweek,' 'End Of America,' 'Legally Rob Banks'...

But what makes an idea “Big”?

Most Copywriters can’t answer.

A thread on the most elusive concept in Copywriting. Let me start by clearing up a misconception.

A Big Idea is not just a clever headline, a benefit, or a unique selling proposition.

All of these are important, but none alone constitutes a Big Idea.

Think of it like this.

If these are ingredients, a Big Idea is the gourmet dish that turns them into something succulent.

How I Wrote a 310,210€ Sales Letter in Only 2 Weeks By Focusing on “Movers”

And How They Can Help You Write Converting Copy Faster

*A Quiet Copy Thread* Friend

Last year my Publisher barged into my office.

“Merc. Time is short. We need a converting sales letter NOW.”

We were in the middle of a bad month at the company.

Which meant I only had 2 weeks to write a BANGER.

For more than 2 years I've been researching the X factor.

The "thing" that separates average Copywriters from masters.

There are multiple answers but there's ONE that has stuck with me since I discovered it.

The Rule of Marbles 👇 It's not "talent". It's not "hard work".

It's not showing up everyday or cold showers.

It's not listening to prospects. Or research.

It's something less obvious but more meaningful.

And in many ways more POWERFUL.

I'll explain everything but first...

How to be a writer, by Sinclair Lewis It's a quiet Saturday morning in Havard University.

45 students sit in silence in a hall.

All they hear is the birds chirping outside and the tense beat of their hearts.

Some are drenched in sweat. Other tap their feet.

Soon an important man will enter the room.

A writer.

Last year my 2nd best promo sold for 307,768€.

My worse one 57,565€.

The difference?

The first one had a Big Idea... The other didn’t.

Big Ideas are a one-way ticket to money.

Without them? You will not sell.

Here’s my EXACT process to find one.

*Free course* 👇 Look I know…

Big Ideas are a copywriter’s nemesis.

We dream about them at night.

They haunt our copy.

And when we finally think we understand what they are…

We realize we don’t.
