#1.) Swipe:
Do you know what a "Brand Board" is?
It's a simple guide for your website that contains all the common colors, fonts, layouts, and imagery to keep your brand consistent.
Here's the typical structure of a brand board:
Here's a couple of examples of filled out brand boards. You can see the "mood" of each board created by the different colors and fonts:
I'm personally going to get a Brand Board designed for Copywriting Course and Swipe File and implement a similar brand/look across them:
If anyone does this professionally, I'd be interested in engaging with you! Email me back.
**BONUS POINTS if we can mock up the styles directly in Chrome DevTools with CSS to see it live.
#2.) Wisdom:
The goal of great copywriting is to take what’s in your brain, and transfer it to someone else's brain in the most efficient & sticky way:
#3.) Interesting:
This is a really high-converting email signup pop-up on Copywriting Course to get people to the weekly newsletter. It’s a pretty simple structure:
• [Headline]
• [Fun GIF]
• [3 Bullet Points Why To Sign Up]
• [Email Enter]
Email pop-ups don't *always* need to be complex!
#4.) Picture:
I like how this one image represents a complete style-guide for a 1920’s era man with this simple chart.
A bunch of information is easily displayed through this chart!
A few years back I hired a stylist who bought be a whole “men's basic wardrobe.”
It was clear I had no idea how to put together an outfit, so she made me a visual style guide:
#5.) Essay:
Checkout this trend chart for these different terms:
🟦 = “Conversion Rate Optimization”
🟥 = “Copywriting”
🟨 = “Digital Marketing”
It's surprising how much larger the term “Digital Marketing” is over the others!
This is because "Digital Marketing" is a general term describing any marketing that happens on the internet.
If we were to break it down it'd probably look something like:
Generally the way to "break into" a big industry like digital marketing is to get pretty good at 1-to-3 of the skills that make it up.
Maybe like:
• Be 75% good at copywriting.
• Be 55% good at social media.
• Be 80% good at making a Shopify store.
Daisy-chaining several skills together is an extremely powerful way to be "good" at an industry.
#6.) Splurge:
Want a piece of copy reviewed by myself and other professional writers?
We have an intake form here:
The form creates a thread where myself, the writers, and the community give you feedback on what to improve, and re-do whole sections if needed.
It's like a factory for getting specific pieces of your digital marketing re-done:
I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
