Hello. Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday, and ready for a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate and a great holiday season if you don’t.

hi,
have you ever heard about the pyramid principle from barbara minto?
it’s a method to structure documents.
if yes, is it relevant in copywriting?
hope you had a happy christmas!!-
Hi Guillaume:
The pyramid principle is a way of organizing research summaries so you can present them in the most efficient way possible. You state the conclusion first and then go into the “top level” supporting arguments, then back each of those arguments with “second level” arguments. Each level of arguments and facts fans out until you…Read more

Hi Jason: Facebook limits your text to 20% of an ad, so you have no choice. Your ad must be an image. Then you can put some text on it if you want.
You aren’t providing much info here. Where is your sales page, what is your niche? Actually, the site you provided has a huge disconnect in that it is a woman’s site and the video has a man’s…Read more
Virginia,

You can have text above the image, also, which doesn’t count toward the 20%. For example, there is an image here: http://screencast.com/t/czcBogy5oj of an ad that James Jones did for a…Read more
Excellent advice for any marketer, in any market — do what Virginia says, and monitor the competition. Always. You don’t need to copy them exactly, but you DO need to know what they’re doing, because what YOU then do will affect how you’re positioned in the market.
Also, while not all of your competition is well funded, or even smart or…Read more
Thanks Virginia and John. Means a lot and makes a lot of sense.
