An educational (and fun) email by Copywriting Course. Enjoy!

Swipe:

Vrrroooomm this ad for a Dyson wet vacuum showcases "data" in the form of other vacuums and how they clean versus the powerful Dyson.

I love how easily you can see the superiority of the product with hardly a single word of text! "Show...don't tell."

Wisdom:

Here's a cool productivity tool I use 1-3 times a month: CaveDay

You set a time to work with other people (usually 50+ on a call), a facilitator starts you off for 2 minutes, then you all just work the remaining hour.

I use it when I'm being lazy!

(Not a sponsored post I just like it and it helps me stay productive)

Interesting:

These thumbnails shows YouTube Trendjacking in action for videos called "Why Net Worth Skyrockets After $100K"

Notice how they're almost all the same:


If a creator wants a hit video, the easiest thing is to copy an existing popular video:
• Use a similar thumbnail
• Use a similar concept
• Use a similar title

This is why sometimes you'll see a cascade of similar videos like this come out in close succession.

A similar thing happens in traditional SEO where a website with Page 1 ranking will quickly see it's article title and content closely replicated.

Picture:

I started "doing interviews with myself" when I needed to record a bunch of short videos but didn't prepare well enough (no guest lined up) so I just sat in the other chair and asked the questions 😂


It gets varying levels of:
"This is awesome I wanna do it too!"

-or-

"This is dumb I hate and you're dumb too."


Some people question it, some people just assume it's another person, some people think I have a twin....but overall the message gets through so it kinda works 😂

I mainly do it because it's easier than scheduling a guest to come record!

Here's an example of it in action:

Here's my guess on how it's possible one person Tweets this much:

1.) He's "dogfooding the product" which is good for finding & fixing flaws. So being addicted to your own product is probably good.

2.) Even before the Twitter acquisition Elon was one of the top most-engaged-with accounts, so this is normal for him. He likely is on his phone alll the time.

3.) He utilizes reposts and replies extensively, with his large following a simple “yes” reply gets engagement.

4.) He travels constantly in a driven car or private plane and gets plenty of scroll time during those durations.

Splurge:

For your own business this year, what would help you the MOST in 2025?

A.) More training videos?
B.) Personalized help with your email/pages/copy?
C.) Help with motivation?
D.) Help with strategy?

You can just reply with the letter(s)!
