    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.

    My question is that I’m working on sending clicks from FB to my sales page, and so far I’m not getting any clicks. I’m working on fixing that. In the meantime my page is all copy and no pictures…but FB…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.

        Virginia,

        Thanks for the response. I haven’t written the FB ad yet, but I know that PPC ads should mirror what’s going on, on your sales page.

            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

    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
