    Copywriting Quotes

    Neville Medhora quote about being interesting

    Sometime just hearing a quote can make you completely change the way you're viewing something.

    Years ago I first heard the quote "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

    I pondered on that concept, and realized it was quite true. That same day I organized a small event for some friends that are doing big things in life, just to be around them more.

    Hey Neville, thank you for the great work, I read your book recently.

    I have a question, I have been reading the books you recommend. I feel I have the fundamentals of copy writing. The thing is how can I make sure these sink in my mind. How can I apply all these rules, maybe something like a checklist? or will it come with time as I keep reading and writing ads.

    Thanks again.

    Neville, this article completely changed the way I'm approaching the FB ads for my t-shirt biz. The response to my designs is tremendous, but no sales; so I've already re-written the copy for 3 of them. There is a magic combination of whirr-click words, and I'm gonna' find it come hell or high water.

    This one is my favorite "You sell on emotion, but you justify a purchase with logic.

     

    I always keep this in mind while writing my copy.
