Question: Why would you ever write copy to agitate someone? Answer: To let the website visitor/reader know you not only know they're in pain, but you know how it feels. How? By crafting specific, detailed, empathic, copy only someone who understands their predicament would know. This builds trust. People who trust you are more likely to believe you have the solution for them. In this episode, I dig into how to find the intel behind agitation copy as part of the PAS (problem-agitation-solution) copywriting formula, how to use it and real life examples. *****
Is your homepage headline driving conversions... or sending visitors packing? Starting your homepage with the solution or pain point is a hot debate. Pain /problem -agitation-solution (PAS)- a popular copywriting formula - says to lead with pain. But could reminding your visitor why they landed on your page backfire? In this solo episode, I dig into the pros and cons of each approach. Why do some SaaS companies thrive with solution-first headlines while others hit home by digging into the problem? Through real-world examples and a healthy dose of A/B testing insights, you'll learn which approach might be the winning ticket your homepage needs. ***** Want more essential copywriting tips like this?
