New Ways To Open Your Copy With A Story

from Copywriters Podcast · host David Garfinkel

Every day it gets worse–the struggle to get people’s attention. It’s always been hard, but never like this before. Too many things and people are competing for our attention at any given moment. This may seem like a particular problem for copywriters, since we’ve been trained to start every message with a headline or a subject line. Nothing wrong with that, but there is a way of using words that is scientifically proven to get and hold attention better than anything else. And that’s a story. We’re hard-wired at birth to blot everything else out, except a life-threatening emergency, when a good story is being told. So, how do you tell a story in a headline? Or in your lead? Or in your opening paragraph? Without, you know, launching into an old, tired, never-ending hero’s journey story or a nightmare story? Well there is a way, and it’s much easier than you think. Since you’ve already been exposed to it for years without realizing people were using stories that way. The Persuasion Story Code: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFD2KXNQ Download.
