I analyzed 10 worst copy 🤖 They all had ONE thing in common 👇 Multi-tasking copy. Remember how unproductive and frustrated you were when you last tried multi-tasking 🥴 That’s because your 🧠 isn’t wired for it. The same goes for your copy—if it’s focusing on multiple things at once—it will frustrate and confuse readers. Additionally, it destroys a safe selling environment which is essential for conversions 💸 That’s why every single line of your copy has to focus on ONE single message. Here’s the rule 1-1-1 that will keep your copy linear; Explore → 1 problem. Share → 1 solution. Sell → 1 thing. The core idea of high-converting copy is to convey ONE single message throughout.

I’m guilty of overusing them And I know you might be doing this too🫵🏻 Nope! I’m not talking about AI—But filler words. Most of the time, you can drop them and it won't change the actual meaning of your message. Here are the 10 most commonly overused filler words; →THAT: I said (that) I would go for a walk. →JUST: I (just) need to sleep. →VERY: You are (very) popular Ritik 🤪 →QUITE: The match was (quite) exciting. →REALLY: I (really) appreciate your help. →RATHER: The vibe is (rather) weird. →ACTUALLY: (Actually) your newsletter is amazing. →BASICALLY: She’s (basically) saying we need to hurry up. →DEFINITELY: He’s (definitely) the right person for the job. →ABSOLUTELY: (Absolutely) I’ll help you. So, the next time you see them, delete them immediately to make your COPY much more impactful ✊🏻 P.S. What words do you overuse? For me, it was "THAT."
