What is Copywriting?

Copywriting is using words to communicate with your customers. A great copy may take any form, from TV commercial scripts and billboards to Facebook captions or Instagram stories— it’s all about telling an engaging story to persuade people to support your brand. Through copywriting, people move from undecided to being willing to spend money on your products.

Headline: The Queen Copy That Rules Them All

Headline is one of the core pieces of copy that stops readers from whatever they’re doing and makes them read or listen to the rest of your content. The idea is to grab attention so you can tell how your product can benefit them. Use a captivating headline in your website, captions, and emails to talk to your dream customers and pique their curiosity.

A Formula For Easier Headline Writing

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be the sharpest wordsmith to create attention-grabbing headlines. Reese shares a framework that works even if you’re a non-writer. This formula also helps alleviate writer’s block. And she calls it “Step Into You”. This formula works because people buy jewelry because of desire. Reflecting back these desires to them in one sentence taps into their emotion and helps them identify with your brand.

Here it goes:

Become the [insert Persona] + [insert Aspirations]

Samples:

Become the Lady Gaga with Your Versatile Fashion

Become the Most Graceful Woman at Your 25th Highschool Reunion

Become THAT Bitch and Own It Every F*cking Day

Now, copywriting isn’t as hard as you first thought it was, right? You can brainstorm and create different headlines based on your product. Just let ideas in and don’t edit yourself.
