ATIDFA Copywriting Formula

Oliver Kenyon just dropped a fresh twist on the classic AIDA formula called ATIDFA: Attention, Transformation, Interest, Desire, FAQ, Action. Think of it as AIDA 2.0 for a world full of hesitant buyers and complex offers.

The Secret Sauce Behind ATIDFA

By adding “Transformation” and “FAQ,” Kenyon built empathy and trust before asking for action. It shifts your message from “Here’s what it is” to “Here’s how your life changes” and “Here’s proof you can trust us.”

Why It Works

• “Transformation” sells outcomes, not features
• “FAQ” kills objections before checkout
• Keeps momentum moving down the funnel
• Boosts confidence in both emotional and logical buyers

Real Life Examples

• Shopify landing pages: Focus on transformation stories first, not just product features
• Airbnb host signup: Answers key objections (“What if something breaks?”) right before signup
• Dollar Shave Club: Opens with humor (Attention) then dives into transformation and FAQs before the final call to action
