Brian McLeod’s HELLYEAH Copywriting Formula

Updated on

Ever see copy so fired-up you can feel it? That’s the “HELL YEAH” formula: big emotion, bold attitude, and irresistible proof that flips readers from “meh” to “take my money.”

Why It Works

  • Hooks attention with raw emotion
  • Creates a hero-vs-villain story
  • Builds instant trust through shared pain
  • Removes hesitation with reassurance

Real-World “HELL YEAH” Examples

  • Dollar Shave Club: Mocked overpriced razors, added humor, pulled 26M+ YouTube views.
  • Poo-Pourri: Joked about bathroom pain, proved it worked, sold millions.
  • Apple “Get a Mac”: Made PCs the villain, turned switching into a cool move.

Simple takeaway: fire up emotion, prove your point, and speak with fearless confidence.
