I've written marketing copy for 6+ years.

Here are 10 copywriting formulas to increase conversions and clicks on your ads, emails, headlines, and landing pages.

Formula: Problem, Agitate, Solution.

P: identify main problem your audience has.

A: agitate with emotions & stressors.

S: offer your product as the solution.

Use for: landing pages

Example: @buymeacoffee
Formula: Be X Without Y

Be [solution] without [pain-point]

Focus on what your audience wants to become and how they can achieve it with no stress.

Use for: headlines

Example: @HypercontextApp
Formula: Anaphora

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of each sentence, helping to solidify your message.

"Big skies. Big Scenery. Big Possibilities."

Use for: ads

Example: @WestJet
Formula: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action.

Get attention via a bold statement. Tease the solution to spark interest.

Build desire via wants and needs. Then show them how to take action.

Use for: body text

Example: @arvidkahl
Formula: Feature, Advantage, Benefit

Don't just list features. Highlight the advantages those features bring, and the end-result they achieve (benefit).

Use for: body text

Example: @Grammarly
Formula: Verb, Value, Urgency.

Verb → get
Value → graded
Urgency → today

Use for: CTAs

Example: @larrykim's @WordStream
Formula: Before, After, Bridge.

BAB is a storytelling formula that shows a user where they are now, where they can be in the future, and how your bridge (offer) gets them there.

Use for: email marketing

Example: @MorningBrew Newsletter
Formula: Outcome-With-Process

This formula focuses on concise clarity. Explain what will happen and how, pointing to your product as the solution.

Use for: headlines

Example:
@hipreetam93's @delightchathq
Formula: Bucket Brigades

Bucket brigades drive the person's attention to read line after line.

They're great for writing compelling long-form content.

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.
