Key Lessons Learned:

Copywriting and Connection

  • Traditional direct response-based copy are sales letters. This allows you to market from one to many, but a lot of people don’t like how ‘salesy’ this format feels.
  • In order to compel anyone to take action, you have to engage the emotions.
  • You can either connect with fear-based emotions or love-based emotions.

Fear-Based Emotions

  • The emotions are: anger, grief, fear, anxiety, worry, shame, or guilt.
  • This approach is about the ends justifying the means, and doesn’t mater how you get someone into your program as long as you get them.
  • Whenever you turn to fear, regardless of the percentage used within the whole campaign, it turns it into fear and taints the love-based emotions.
  • When you ‘agitate the pain,’ you turn it into suffering (which takes place in your head).
  • Fear-based copy is easier to write than love-based copy.

Love-Based Emotions

  • The emotions are: love, hope, connection, pain, and honor.
  • We need pain to grow spiritually and emotionally.
  • This is about choice and educating people on the consequences of their choices, but ultimately letting them decide.
  • This love-based approach ‘explains’ rather than ‘sways.’
  • Your mindset needs to be from a place of abundance and giving people space to make a choice
  • Be truthful. If you feel you have to lie or exaggerate, then you are probably getting into fear.

Three Foundational Pieces

1. Knowing your ideal clients

  • The term ‘ideal client’ is preferred over niche or target market, as those are externally driven. Ideal is internally driven.
  • In order to write to someone, you need to be able to know them on a deep level and understand their core beliefs. This means knowing the psychographic, as well as the demographic.

2. What is keeping you up at night? (Pain)

  • Your ideal clients are in pain and need your product or service in order to get out of it.
  • It’s disrespectful not to talk about the pain, as it is dishonoring them.
  • Respectfully bring up the pain without agitating it.

3. Your Mindset

  • Be committed but not attached to a specific number.
  • This is about the abundant mindset rather than the poverty mindset.

Writing Headlines

  • Most headlines are love-based and about hope.
  • If you over exaggerate, then you are promising false hope, which is fear-based.
  • The better headlines are about curiosity, a story, or showing you what is possible.
