ChatGPT has killed off 99% of copywriters.
But the top 1% will beat every single ChatGPT copy.
Because they ask themselves these 5 questions when they write: 👇🏼
[THREAD]
1. Have I repeated my promise enough?
Before ever setting their eyes on your copy…
Readers already have opinions and ideas on the subject you’re writing about.
Sometimes, your idea supports their existing opinion…
And many times…
You’ll be telling them something they haven't heard before.
So you must make them believe…
…that your big idea and promise is the truth.
The best way to do this is by triggering something called “the illusory truth effect.”
When you say something so many times, your readers view it as the truth.
If today, I tell you that “ChatGPT will help you write the best copy and you’ll still get paid for it.”
And I say the same thing in my next 30 tweets.
At the end of February…
You’ll be sitting in front of ChatGPT and churning out copy after copy every day.
But that’s not all…
You also have to ask yourself:
2. Am I using enough sensory words?
Sensory words are words that draw emotions out of the readers.
These words activate the sense organs...
Allowing your readers to hear, feel, see, taste, and smell the things you describe.
It immerses them into your story.
For example…
Instead of saying:
“You start sweating.”
You could say:
“Cold beads of sweat trickle down your forehead…"
People are more likely to remember your ideas and promise when they can paint a picture in their heads as they read your copy.
But you also want to remember…
If people already know everything you're reading about:
•Your ideas
•Your angle
•Your promise
•Your pitch…
Then they're less likely to buy even if you’re triggering those sense organs.
That's why you have to ask yourself:
Am I doing anything NEW?
You can’t be exactly the same as your competitors and expect a better result.
People want to see something new.
If you’re promising the same thing as your competitors…
Try using a different angle.
Find a new mechanism…
And show the readers a new cause of their problem.
Novelty keeps people interested.
It gives them hope that you could be the solution to their problem.
But wait…
What if you key all this information into the AI and tell it to write the copy for you?
Can't ChatGPT create something a pro copywriter would write?
You could try your luck 😅
But it won't.
Because apart from answering these questions above…
Pro-copywriters also know that the positioning of elements in their copy also determine how well the copy would convert.
That's why MUST ask this:
4. Is everything in the right place?
You must position your words in the correct format.
Use bullet points in the right places…
Have the right images…
Use moving texts and animations in the right places.
Why do you do this?
So that your reader has the best reading experience.
They can understand & make a buying decision… even if they don't read the entire copy word for word.
And so that every element influences this final decision and gets them to buy.
What elements should you position well in your copy?
▪️Core promise.
▪️Benefits
▪️Bullet points
▪️Images
▪️Closing text
For example…
When writing an email, you introduce your promise and main idea at the beginning…
But you should also repeat them towards the closing line as they’re about to click the CTA.
This brings your promise to memory and helps them say YES to your offer.
And finally…
As you approach the end of your copy…
You must ensure you’ve handed the choice over to the reader.
They’ve gone through your connection of ideas…
And if you did your job well, and it makes sense to them…
You don't have to force them to buy.
Ask yourself:
5. Am I giving the readers the final choice?
Take a look at these two CTAs…
Which do you think will perform better?
1.“Buy NOW!”
2.“Send Me The $100K Real Estate Profit Secrets.”
In some cases, “Buy Now” performs better…
But the second option makes it the reader’s choice.
You can do this by putting “Me/My” in your CTA.
“Add me to the Copystars list”
“Send me a free baseball cap”
“Add to my order”
It's their choice.
Great copywriters know that AI doesn't have “common sense.”
It cannot understand human psychology as well as humans.
So even though you can take some ideas, research, and even a rough draft from AI…
You MUST become a pro copywriter to put together copy that converts.
I've been playing around with chatGPT for the last 2 weeks.
And I'm going to share more AI and copywriting discoveries in my next tweets.
