Let me ask you a question: You have learned so many courses and spent a lot of money over the years, but how many of them can you use in your actual combat? I don’t mean to poke you, but think about it carefully, where is the problem? Don’t blame yourself, in fact, it ’s not your fault , I’m telling the truth! I have to stand up and say something today, which may offend some people, but I still have to say it. I found that in many copywriting courses, simple things are made very complicated , with a lot of concepts or a lot of professional terms, which may make you feel that: Wow, the money I spent is really worth it! But have you ever thought about what is the fundamental purpose of your course? Remember, you are not enrolling in a course to learn dry goods or indulge yourself, but to... solve problems! As long as it can solve your problem, which one would you choose, 1 trick or 100 tricks? I don't need to tell you, so we must learn the ones that are super simple, can be used immediately after reading, and can help us solve the problem immediately, otherwise no matter how much you learn, it will be nonsense in the end. Today I won’t preach, I will just give you 21 copywriting tips from master writers ! You can practice while reading, and most importantly, you don’t need to spend a penny. 1. How does a copywriter speak human language?It is no exaggeration to say that 90% of people have made a mistake... the copywriter does not speak human language! You may be making this mistake. If you don't believe me, let me test you: How would you write a copywriter for a facial mask to replenish water? If you write it like this:
Sorry, this is a typical example of copywriters not speaking human language! If copywriters don’t speak human language, people won’t understand. If they don’t understand, will they buy it? Impossible!!! Therefore, the most important thing about sales copywriting is... to make users understand! So how can you make your copywriter speak human language? Here are three methods: 1. Speak in plain languageFor example, for facial mask hydration, we can write
You see, although it is plain language, users can understand it as soon as they hear it, and the benefits are more obvious, that’s enough! 2. Have emotionsCopywriting without emotion is like a stagnant pool of water, and it is boring to read. On the contrary, once there is emotion, users will have emotional fluctuations when reading, so they will be more easily infected! For example, the emotion of anger :
Or the emotion of fear :
3. 1V1 chatOnly with one-on-one chats will users feel that you are talking to them and they will take you seriously! (Recall the group messages flying around during the Chinese New Year. Why didn’t you reply? This is the reason.) How can you have a 1v1 chat? Here is a little trick: Use "you" more often . Yes, it's that simple! For example, the following two sentences
Obviously, when the user hears the second sentence, he will feel that you are talking to him one-on-one at this moment, so he will listen carefully to what you say because he feels it is related to him! 2. Take advantage of human laziness to write copy!Laziness is human nature and a primitive need! If you think about it carefully, many technological advances are due to the needs of lazy people , such as "washing machines, online shopping, takeout, mobile payment, sweeping robots..." But then again, how can we use the "laziness" in human nature in copywriting? Here are a few writing formulas for you, remember them! 1. Shorter time + amazing effectFor example, for weight loss products, you could write:
Or if you are selling copywriting courses, you can write:
2. 1 product effect = multiple other product effectsFor example, for vitamin tablets, you might write:
Or if you’re selling deodorant socks, you could write something like this:
3. Easier + Amazing ResultsFor example, for a tanning cream, you can write the copy like this:
For example, for a smartphone, you can write:
3. Take advantage of human nature to write copy!Everyone loves to get a bargain! Why is live streaming so popular? It’s useless to talk about other things, such as the trend or the traffic on the platform... Isn’t it still cheap in essence? Therefore, if your copy can stimulate the user’s desire to get a bargain, he will have the desire to buy. Here are 4 ways to teach you: 1. Tell users that they can buy high-value products at a low priceExample: Juicer
Example: Hot pot
2. Tell users that we have a lower price for the same valueExample: Paper towels
3. Tell users that the daily cost is lowExample: Paid Community
Example: Dishwasher
4. Give users a sense of instant gainFor example, the following sets of copywriting all express the same meaning, but the two statements give users completely different feelings of gain. If you don’t believe it, take a look at the first set:
Group 2:
Group 3:
Group 4:
4. How to solve the problem of copywriting homogeneity?I once said that product homogeneity is not your fault, but... copywriting homogeneity is! However, there are too many similar products now, how can we avoid copywriting homogeneity? The core secret is... to tap into the three needs of users! What are the three needs? They are: 1. Functional levelThis level of demand is the easiest to think of, such as moisturizing masks, delicious snacks, and beautiful clothes. These are generally the most intuitive functions of a product! The reason why copywriting is homogenized is that many people only write about this level! 2. Psychological levelWhat is the psychological layer? You can understand it as the difference between spiritual civilization and material civilization. The functional layer corresponds to material needs, and the psychological layer corresponds to the spiritual level. For example, girls love beauty, parents hope their children are smart, and they hope to gain recognition from people around them... These are all psychological needs! 3. ValuesThis demand has a higher dimension, influencing the target users through values. Generally, big brands like to use this trick, such as Anta's "Never stop", Dongpeng Special Drink's "Young people should stay awake and fight", Keep's "Self-discipline gives me freedom" ... However, knowing these three needs is not enough. How to write them specifically? In order to make you understand more intuitively, I will give you an example. 1. Love Course1) Explore functional requirements
2) Explore psychological needs
3) Explore value-based needs
2. Razor1) Functional layer requirements
2) Psychological needs
3) Value-based needs
Did you see it? When we write copy, we should not only focus on the functional level, but also discover the psychological level and the needs of the value level. Only by looking at multiple angles can we avoid homogeneity! 5. Use human nature to “seek profit and avoid harm” when writing copy!Human nature is to seek benefits and avoid harm! This directly determines that people only care about things that are good for themselves or help them avoid pain! So if you want to write attractive product copy, the first step is to forget the product itself and think more about:
This is the most important change in your thinking when learning copywriting. 1. Copywriting Course1) Self-congratulatory copywriting
2) Benefit-oriented copywriting
3) Painful copywriting
2. Range hood1) Self-congratulatory copywriting
2) Benefit-oriented copywriting
3) Painful copywriting
3. Facial Mask1) Self-congratulatory copywriting
2) Benefit-oriented copywriting
3) Painful copywriting
4. Slimming teaSelf-entertainment copywriting
Interest-based copywriting
Painful copywriting
6. Write out the “sense of scene”!When users read the copy with scenarios, pictures will immediately appear in their minds, just like "playing a movie"! In this way, the benefits of your product can be more specific, and users can more easily perceive them and feel that they need your product. On the contrary, if you simply state the advantages of the product, it will be just cold words to users, and they will not feel anything. So it’s useless if you think your product is good. You have to make users think your product is good , and writing a sense of scene is a killer weapon! 1. FruitNo scene copywriting
There are scene copywriting
2. Facial MaskNo scene copywriting style
There are scene copywriting
3. ToothpasteNo scene copywriting
There are scene copywriting
7. Use more verbs!Using verbs to write copy will bring a sense of picture, and users will find it more vivid when reading! Copywriting experts are experts in using verbs, and even... they have their own verb libraries! So, starting today, you should also collect your own verb library, and slowly you will find that the copy you write seems to be alive. 1. To describe sadnessNo verbs needed
Use verbs
2. Facial Cleansing DeviceNo verbs needed
Use verbs
3. Neck protectorNo verbs needed
Use verbs
4. Speech trainingNo verbs needed
Use verbs
8. How to write promotional copy?When writing promotional copy, don’t just tell users: how much discount is today, how much is the original price, how much is the current price, what discounts can be enjoyed ! Doing this for a long time will make people think that the product is cheap , and secondly, it will make users think that you are deliberately playing tricks! How to do it? You should add a "reason" in front of the promotional copy to explain why such a discount is available. This is very important! Here are a few examples for you to understand! 1. Clothing promotionNo reason given
Add reason
2. Snack promotionNo reason given
Add reason
3. Book PromotionNo reason given
Add reason
9. How to write a copy that will catch people’s attention?Do you have this feeling that when you read the copywriting of a master, your emotions are naturally aroused, and you want to read more and more? In fact, one of the core secrets they use is: eye-catching words! What are eye-catching words? They are words that will make the user's pupils dilate and their brains excited ! Experts have an eye-catching word bank. As long as your copy has these words, it will instantly catch people's attention! Isn't it super cool? In fact, it is not difficult to use eye-catching words well. To help you understand, I will give you a few examples below. Read them carefully! 01No eyeball words
Add eye-catching words ( do it, don’t say it, a great trick )
02No eyeball words
Add eyeball words ( flash profit )
03No eyeball words
Add eyeball words ( explosive orders )
04No eyeball words
Add eyeball words ( treasure )
05No eyeball words

10. Change adjectives into numbersAdjectives are vague and difficult for users to perceive when used to convey the benefits of a product. But numbers are different. Numbers are clear and people are naturally more sensitive to numbers. So, when you want to use adjectives to describe the benefits of a product, ask yourself if you can use numbers instead. To help you understand, here are a few examples: 1. ScarfUse adjectives
Change adjectives to numbers
2. Steamed BunsUse adjectives
Change adjectives to numbers
3. TakeawayUse adjectives
Change adjectives to numbers
4. CoursesUse adjectives
Change adjectives to numbers
11. How to write a copy that conveys a sense of sincerity?Without further ado, I will give you a writing formula. If you follow this formula, your copy will be naturally sincere. This formula is - "uncertainty + certainty" The core of this writing formula is: Don’t be too confident , so that users will feel more sincere! The more you exaggerate, the more users will worry about whether it is really as good as you say! At this time, if we don’t say too much, users will think you are telling the truth, which makes you more credible and reliable! If you don’t believe me, let me give you a few examples: 1. Power Bank
2. Eye mask
3. Facial massager
4. Whitening Essence
12. The product is relatively expensive, how should I write the copy?The core secret: settle the accounts! When products are expensive, copywriters must learn to calculate the cost for users, so that users will pay attention not to always focus on the price itself, and they may even feel that it is a great value! When I buy clothes, I like to hypnotize myself and calculate the cost in my mind. Hahaha, I think it’s just a piece of clothing, it’s not worth it. But after thinking about it carefully, branded clothes are more expensive, but they are of good quality, can be worn for many years, and will not change shape, so it is worth it. This is the calculation! How to write it in the copy, and from which aspects can you calculate the account? Let me give you an example: 1. Tell users an amortized costAmortized cost = product price ÷ usage period This has been mentioned in the previous example. Let’s talk about it again. If we talk about the price directly, users may think it is expensive, but a lower average cost is relatively easier to accept. For example: a copywriting community, 1,000 yuan/year
2. Tell users that they have saved moneyTell users that by using our product, they can save other unnecessary costs. This way, users can calculate and find that buying your product is quite cost-effective.
3. Tell users that using the product for a longer period of time is more cost-effectiveTell users that our products are of good quality and have a longer lifespan than other products. They do not need to be replaced for a long time. This way, users will feel that they have made a profit. For example: a sofa costs 3,999 yuan.
4. Tell users that it can save them timeTell users that after using our products, they can save a lot of time and do more meaningful things. After all, time is the most expensive. Example: A dishwasher
13. How to write an attractive selling point?Core secret: FAB rule! Anyone who has worked in sales must be familiar with the FAB rule! F stands for : What are the characteristics of the product itself? A stands for : What is the function or advantage of the characteristic? B represents : What benefits and advantages does it bring to users? Therefore, when we describe the selling point of a product, in addition to introducing the previous F and A, we must focus on describing B, that is, the benefit layer , which is what users really care about. Because people don’t care about your product, they only care about their own interests! Next, I will teach you... how to use the FAB rule to write attractive selling points! 1. Time management courseF-layer

2. Mobile phone processorF-layer

3. ShirtF-layer

4. Facial MassagerF-layer

14. How to write a vivid copy?Core secret: For example , many times, the reason why your copywriting doesn’t make any sense to others is because users don’t understand your words. When Steve Jobs introduced the iPod, he used a very vivid analogy: putting 1,000 songs in your pocket! This is easy to understand! The benefits are obvious. Then you might say, I think the copy I wrote is easy to understand. No, in the world of copywriting, “I think” is prohibited, we should use “users think”. So how can you write a vivid copy so that users can understand it as soon as they hear it and have a picture in their mind? The best way is to use metaphors, such as the following examples: 1. Describe bad breathDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
2. Describe the facial cleanserDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
3. Describe dysmenorrheaDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
4. Describe the mattressDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
5. Describing obesityDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
6. Describe the maskDon’t use metaphors
Use metaphors
Have you discovered? Whether you are describing user pain points or product selling points , you can use metaphors. After using metaphors, the pain points will be more heartbreaking, the selling points will be more attractive, and more importantly, the copy will be alive, vivid and easy to understand! Let me repeat, the first criterion for good copywriting is that users can understand it . Without this, everything else is nonsense! 15. How to write an eye-catching opening copy?If the copy doesn’t catch people’s attention at the beginning, it’s basically useless! No matter how good the content is, users won’t be able to see it because they have already closed your copy! You can recall that when you were watching Douyin, if the beginning didn’t attract you, do you think you would stop? Therefore, sales copywriting must be able to grab people's attention within 3 seconds! How to write it specifically? Here are 3 methods: 1. Create a “why?” feelingShort video training
Copywriting Course
2. Create a “What the hell?” feelingWeight Loss Products
Bags
3. Create an “impossible” feelingtea
Weight Loss Products
16. Use “numbers + visualization” to write selling points!9 out of 10 teachers will probably tell you to use more numbers in your copywriting! This can make the benefits of the product selling point more specific, but I want to tell you that just using numbers is not enough, no, it is far from enough! You also need to make the numbers visual , so that the benefits of the product will play a movie in the user's mind, with a more vivid picture. So how to use the "number + visualization" technique? Let me give you an example: 1. Car leather seat cushionOnly numbers
Use "Digital + Visualization"
2. Dental Implant SurgeryOnly numbers
Use "Digital + Visualization"
3. Decoration CompanyOnly numbers
Use "Digital + Visualization"
4. A softwareOnly numbers
Use "Digital + Visualization"
Did you notice? When we use numbers to describe the selling points of a product, don’t forget to explain the numbers afterwards, such as: “equivalent to…”, “exceed…”, “similar to…” In this way, users can understand the numbers more concretely and better perceive the benefits of the product. 17. Don’t maliciously belittle your opponent!Maliciously disparaging your opponents in your copy will only make users think that you are narrow-minded! So the question is, if we want to write a copy that highlights the advantages of our products and exposes the shortcomings of our competitors' products, how should we write the copy? It's very simple, just state your feelings objectively! How to write it specifically? I'll share a sentence pattern with you: "It is not/not like..., but..., just like..." Let me give you an example: 1. A certain ginger tea
2. A certain fragrance
3. Wire-free bras
4. Beef Jerky
18. The core secret of sincere copywriting!The key is to give sincere advice. Although the ultimate goal of the copywriting is to close a deal, you cannot let the user feel that you only want to make money from him! On the contrary, you should stand in the perspective of a friend in your copywriting and give sincere purchase suggestions to make the user feel that you are doing this for his own good, such as:
1. Facial mask
2. Copywriting class
19. How to write traffic-generating copy?The core secret: Leave a curiosity hook, that is, release a curiosity hook at the end of your lead generation copy. Remember, this hook must be something that the user desires to get , so as to arouse the user's curiosity. Only curiosity will drive him to add you. Here is an example for you: 01
02
Did you notice the difference between the two paragraphs? In the first paragraph, did I disclose all three steps to sell the product? This way, users will know everything, and they will lose their curiosity and desire to add you. However, in the second paragraph of the lead generation copy, did I only tell users the first two steps to sell the product? I didn’t mention the third most important step, and I hid it! This will immediately ignite the user’s curiosity, and they will want to know what the most important third step is. I must know, and in the end, I will be unable to resist adding you! Do you understand? 20. How to create a reading hook for your copy?Let me ask you a question: Now look at the copy you wrote. Can you read it smoothly from beginning to end? In other words, after reading the previous sentence, can you not wait and immediately have the urge to read the next sentence? No, right? Why? It's not that your writing is bad, but that there is no reading hook in your copy ! What does it mean? Let me give you an example: 1. No Hooks
Do you feel sleepy when reading this copy? Is it getting more and more boring the more you read? To be honest, I feel the same way! Hahaha, so what should I do? I just need to make some simple changes, and I guarantee that you will be able to read it smoothly and not feel sleepy. Take a look at the modified version below. 2. Set up hooks
How is it? Did you feel like you finished reading it without realizing it? Did you find out? The hook of the copywriting in the above example is: self-questioning and self-answering! By using the question-and-answer method, your brain is always thinking, so it will keep thinking. After reading the previous sentence, you will immediately want to read the next sentence, and you will not fall asleep! So, starting today, you might as well use this technique in your copywriting! 21. Don’t brag about your advantages, write about the results!What does it mean? Every time you describe the advantages of your product, you should instinctively think: What results will it bring if my product advantages are established? Then, based on this result, you can organize the copywriting, which will become more attractive. If you can master this thinking, you will be a copywriting master! Let me give you an example: 1. Copywriting CourseBlowing Advantages
Write results
2. Health ProductsBlowing Advantages
Write results
3. Skin care productsBlowing Advantages
Write results
4. Thermos cupBlowing Advantages
Write results
ConclusionNow it's your turn, use it right away. If you don't, no matter how good the method is, it will be useless to you ! I sincerely hope that I can really help you, and I am looking forward to your good news! Author: He Yang, WeChat public account: He Yang Talks about Copywriting |
