Complete Guide to Copywriting

Techniques
Congratulations on taking the first step toward mastering copywriting! This guide will dive
deeper into proven techniques that can help you craft persuasive and high-converting copy for
your ads, landing pages, and more. Let’s get started!

1. FAB: Features, Advantages, Benefits


FAB is useful when explaining your product's value by focusing on how each feature benefits
the customer.

● Feature: Describe the feature of your product.


○ Example: “Our camera has a 50MP lens.”
● Advantage: Show what the feature does for the user.
○ Example: “It captures incredibly detailed photos, even in low light.”
● Benefit: Explain why this matters to the customer.
○ Example: “You’ll get stunning photos, no matter the time of day.”

2. The 4 P’s: Picture, Promise, Prove, Push


The 4 P’s method helps you build a strong, persuasive narrative by painting a picture of the
outcome, making a promise, proving it, and pushing for action.

● Picture: Paint a picture of how life can improve with your product.
○ Example: “Imagine waking up every day feeling energized and focused.”
● Promise: Offer a clear benefit or transformation.
○ Example: “Our supplement will boost your energy and mental clarity in just 7
days.”
● Prove: Back up your claim with evidence, such as testimonials or research.
○ Example: “Over 10,000 happy customers have noticed the difference.”
● Push: Encourage immediate action with a CTA.
○ Example: “Order now and feel the difference for yourself!”

3. The “So What?” Test


This technique ensures every claim in your copy adds value. For each feature or benefit you
mention, imagine the reader asking, “So what?” and answer that question.
● Claim: “Our online course has 20 modules.”
● So what?: “So you can learn at your own pace and cover every essential topic without
feeling rushed.”

By answering “So what?” for each point, you ensure your copy directly addresses the
customer’s needs.

4. Before-After-Bridge (BAB)
BAB is great for storytelling. You show the customer what life was like before your product, how
much better it could be, and then position your product as the bridge to that transformation.

● Before: “Before using our task manager, I was overwhelmed and missed deadlines.”
● After: “Now, I’m organized and meet every deadline with ease.”
● Bridge: “With our tool, you can stay on top of your tasks and never miss an important
date again.”

5. The Slippery Slope


This technique involves starting with a statement that hooks your reader and makes them want
to keep reading. The copy should flow smoothly, leading the reader down the "slope" toward
your CTA.

● Example:
○ "What if I told you that improving your fitness could be as simple as changing one
habit? Our fitness app makes it easy to track progress, stay motivated, and reach
your goals faster than ever. Sign up now and take the first step toward a healthier
you!"

6. The Storytelling Approach


Storytelling makes your message more relatable and memorable. By sharing a personal story,
you can connect with your audience emotionally.

● Example:
○ “I remember when I was working long hours, struggling to manage my workload. I
tried every productivity app, but nothing worked. Then I found this one tool that
changed everything. Now, I complete my tasks in half the time, and I finally have
work-life balance.”

Your product becomes the hero of the story, showing how it transformed a relatable challenge
into success.
7. The Reason-Why Copy
This technique involves explaining why your product is great or why the customer should
choose you. It's effective when you need to justify your claims or pricing.

● Example: “Why choose our protein powder? Because it’s made with all-natural
ingredients, free from artificial additives, and scientifically proven to help you build
muscle faster.”

This helps build trust by being transparent about what makes your product special.

8. The Testimonial Approach


Social proof is one of the strongest psychological drivers in marketing. Let your satisfied
customers do the talking for you.

● Example: “I’ve tried many skincare products, but this is the only one that cleared my
acne in just two weeks! I’ll never go back.”

You can feature customer testimonials or case studies to build credibility.

Conclusion
These copywriting techniques will help you craft engaging, persuasive messages that resonate
with your audience. Remember, the key to successful copy is to understand your audience’s
needs, desires, and pain points and offer a solution that feels personalized and irresistible.
