  • It is Not About ‘I’! It Is About ‘You’!

Always bear in mind that whatever content you create, never speak about the benefits you, that is ‘I’ get. They are not interested in you. They are only interested in things that benefit them. The problems can be yours. Hence for problems faced use ‘I’ – it affects you! For the benefits, use ‘you’- They get the benefits!

  • So What?

Yes! Ask yourself this question! After writing down a copy, read it aloud and ask yourself, “so what?” People don’t really care about you. Hence, they are bound to ask this question to themselves the moment they read a copy. Hence, you will have to make sure that you don’t leave scope for them to ask, “So what?”

  • Make It Easy!

Then use it to create a unique copy that is even better than the one you copied the idea from. Add your signature to your work. Never use the exact words of the works from which you derive inspiration. Use your own words and sentences. Make it your own.
