Swipe:
This is neat: The Wright Brothers (who invented airplanes) funded the development of the first powered airplane with their bike shop, shown here:
 |
And this was the simple ad they’d post in the Dayton, Ohio newspapers:
 |
They designed a popular bike called "The Van Cleve Bicycle" which was their most popular bike, and it sold for $60.
So that ad played a small hand in developing the first aircraft :)
Wisdom:
10+ years ago I was sending something at the post office, and as I finished up, the clerk said to me:
I've thought about that random passing comment almost every single day since then.
You can CHOOSE if your day will be good or bad.
Which will yours be 🙂?
Interesting:
The format of this chart easily demonstrates how Apple’s 2022 revenue was the combined revenue of alllll these big tech companies 😬
 |
I like how the layout of this chart so easily demonstrates the point.
Picture:
This ad for the unique-looking Ford Pinto has no copy or anything…just an awesome visual of the product!
 |
Same with this Ford Econoline van ad...extremely little copy, just letting the product speak for itself!
 |
Essay:
I wrote a blog post full of copywriting formulas here, mainly these:
#1.) AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action
#2.) PAS: Problem, Agitate, Solution
#3.) PASCA: Problem Agitate Solution Call to Action
#4.) 4 Ps: Promise, Picture, Proof, Push
#5.) FAB: Features, Advantages, Benefits
#6.) The Before-After-Bridge
#7.) 5W’s and H: Who, What, Where, When, Why, How
#8.) Tell A Story
#9.) PAPA: Problem, Agitation, Provide, Action
#10.) The 7 Steps
#11.) 4U’s: Urgent, Unique, Ultra-specific, Useful
#12.) APP Formula: Agree, Promise, Preview
#13.) FOMO: Fear of Missing Out
#14.) PSR: Problem, Solution, Result
#15.) 4 Ps of Persuasion
#16.) STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result
#17.) PASTOR: Pain, Agitate, Solution, Testimonial, Offer, Response
#18.) FAPE: Feature, Advantage, Proof, Evidence
The funny thing is after writing examples for each of these copywriting formulas, it seemed like almost every formulas was just a slight variation of either A.I.D.A. or P.A.S.
• AIDA: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action
• PAS: Problem, Agitate, Solution
Do you use any formulas like this? Reply to this email and let me know. I personally use AIDA almost every single day.
Splurge:
It's happening....we are almost officially mid-year 😬
 |
Mid-year I like to re-visit my yearly goals (which often get forgotten), and also ask questions of myself, such as:
- What worked this year?
- What DIDN'T work this year?
- Am I on track to hit yearly goals? If not, how to course-correct?
This is the time of the year I prep for Q3 and Q4, as those are often the biggest revenue months for many businesses:
 |
Hopefully you take the rest of this month to reflect on how you can crush the rest of 2023:
 |
We'll be closing down our $97/mo plan for a bit this weekend, so if you want to jump inside the Copywriting Course at that price point, now would be a great time to JOIN if you want some guidance.
I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
