Whenever I ask any marketer or copywriting expert about their writing process, I find there\u2019s no specific process they follow and few copywriting templates to guide them.<\/p>\n\n

While this is partly due to natural variation in everyone\u2019s creative process, copywriting best practices vary based on your audience, purpose, and format \u2014 not to mention year, as \u201cwhat works\u201d changes as algorithms and consumer expectations evolve.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Copywriting demands creativity, inspiration, and hard work, and it can be difficult to consistently find all three. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve compiled a list of my favorite copywriting templates for a variety of scenarios. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Copywriting Tips: How to Get Started<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a marketer for the last 20+ years, I\u2019ve learned that having a framework is immensely helpful when it comes to writing copy. In my opinion, there\u2019s nothing worse than a blank page with a blinking cursor. More than once, I\u2019ve found myself writing things like \u201cHeading About XYZ\u201d or \u201cwords go here\u201d just to get something<\/em> on the page. It\u2019s actually a strategy I\u2019ve taught other copywriters to get them rolling.<\/p>\n

In fact, I\u2019ve often said, \u201cIt\u2019s easier to have something to edit than to write from scratch.\u201d That\u2019s exactly what copywriting templates do \u2014 provide a framework for writing a first draft, no matter how messy or crappy. From there, it\u2019s \u201cjust\u201d about editing.<\/p>\n

I put \u201cjust\u201d in quotation marks because it\u2019s never quite that simple, and you still have to know five things:<\/p>\n

Who is receiving your piece?<\/strong> It\u2019s important to know your audience<\/strong>, so you can tailor your message to their needs. <\/p>\n

What should they know?<\/strong> You must identify the key takeaways<\/strong> you want them to walk away with before you start writing to ensure they flow in naturally. <\/p>\n

What action do you want them to take?<\/strong> Do you want them to click, call, email, buy? Understanding that makes it easier to guide them to the action<\/strong> you\u2019re taking <\/p>\n

Where will they be reading it?<\/strong> Format matters. An email has a different engagement and structure than a social post or blog post. <\/p>\n

Why should they care?<\/strong> What\u2019s in it for them? How does your content make them better, stronger, or faster? When you can tap into what stands up to make them take notice, your results will improve. <\/p>\n

Once you can answer those questions and have chosen one of the templates below, you can start writing. (Or you can feed the information and templates into our AI Content Writer<\/a> or your favorite AI copywriting tool<\/a> to shorten the process and get to that editable first draft much faster.) I\u2019ve considered the types of emails marketers and salespeople are likely to send repeatedly and crafted templates that can help eliminate that time.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

\n6 <\/strong>Email Marketing Copywriting Templates<\/strong>
\n<\/h3>\n\n

Email marketing, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. Seriously. I didn\u2019t set out to be an email copywriter or strategist, but that\u2019s exactly what I have become<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I have clients who I work with on hundreds of emails every year and others who I set strategy for and sometimes implement. In fact, I\u2019ve set up and managed an internal marketing agency for a client with a variety of different programs and audiences. I love it!<\/em><\/p>\n

With that in mind, here are several email copywriting templates that I love.<\/p>\n

1. Welcome Email<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>A simple email welcoming people to your list.<\/p>\n

First impressions count. When you send that first email after someone has signed up for your email list, you want it to be warm, informative, and set expectations for further communication.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example of a template you might use to welcome new subscribers to your newsletter:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for signing up for [include what someone just signed up for, like a blog subscription, newsletter subscription, company services, etc.]<\/em><\/p>\n

At [Company Name], we\u2019re working to [list a few of your company\u2019s core goals or include your mission statement]. We highly encourage you to check out [suggest a few recommendations so the reader can continue learning more about your company].<\/em><\/p>\n

You can expect to hear from us [include reasonable expected frequency].<\/em><\/p>\n

If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact us at [Contact information].<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/em><\/p>\n

[Company Name, or individual sender\u2019s name]<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Delivery Email<\/h4>\n

Best for<\/strong>: Delivering a lead magnet that your audience has requested.<\/p>\n

Lead magnets have been one of the strongest, most effective strategies for building email lists for service-based businesses. While there are other great strategies out there, I feel strongly that lead magnets will continue to be a great solution for list growth.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve promised a PDF, video, or something entirely different, it\u2019s important to actually<\/em> send it. While similar in many ways to a welcome email, there are some distinct differences you\u2019ll note in this copywriting template.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sample of what you might say:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Your [Lead Magnet Name] is here! I created it to help [audience information] like you solve [XYZ problem.]<\/em><\/p>\n

[Give them a high-level overview of what\u2019s included and any notes on how to use it.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Download the [Name of Lead Magnet]<\/em> (or Watch the video).<\/em><\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got what you came here for, I wanted to introduce myself\/my company. [Describe who you are and who you help].<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have questions, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out. And, if you\u2019re wondering what to do after you [watch, read, listen] to [Lead Magnet Name], you can [list next action they can take \u2014 either free or paid].<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking forward to connecting with you!<\/em><\/p>\n

[Signature]<\/em><\/p>\n

3. New Launch Announcement Emails<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Building buzz about an upcoming change or new product.<\/p>\n

Doing something different? Your audience won\u2019t know about it if you don\u2019t tell them! Announcement emails are one of the best ways to build a buzz and spread the news.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019ve got a new catalog, are offering a new product or service, or are even launching a rebrand or new website, you need to share the news.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re excited about it, sure \u2014 but to make your announcement email successful, you\u2019ve got to show your audience why they<\/em> should be excited about it.<\/p>\n

This email should be dropped 1-2 weeks before the new thing to build buzz and to ensure that any changes don\u2019t take them by surprise. If a new catalog, you may be able to simply drop that as soon as it\u2019s available \u2014 but, if you\u2019re discontinuing any items, an early heads-up gives your audience a chance to stock up.<\/p>\n

Use this copywriting template as a starting point:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Big news! [Explain what it is]<\/em><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what that means for you \u2014 [Explain what it means in terms of benefits for them \u2014 focus on the positive here.]<\/em><\/p>\n

You can [take advantage of | enroll in | experience | try out] the new [product\/service name] as soon as [tentative launch date].<\/em><\/p>\n

This is just a heads-up, and there is no need to take action just yet.<\/em> [Or if you want to build a waiting list, say something like: \u201cIf you want to be first on the list to get access, click here or hit reply.\u201d]<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have any questions in the meantime, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out.<\/em><\/p>\n

Back to you soon!<\/em><\/p>\n

[Signature]<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Launch Is Here Emails<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Following up on your launch announcement emails and getting audience buy-in.<\/p>\n

If you followed my copywriting template for dropping a launch announcement email at the start of your launch runway, now it\u2019s time to announce that your launch is here.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what that could look like for you:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s here. The new [name\/type of new thing].<\/em><\/p>\n

[Describe what it is]<\/em><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s what you can expect moving forward: [If benefits to audience, list in bullets below. If not, just add a quick sentence about what that means for them.]<\/em><\/p>\n

[Feature #1] so you can [benefit #1]<\/em>
\n [Feature #2] so you can [benefit #2]<\/em>
\n [Feature #3] so you can [benefit #3]<\/em> <\/p>\n

[If mandatory: Now that we\u2019re live, your next step is to \u2026 (describe next step)]<\/em><\/p>\n

[If optional: Ready to dive in? All you have to do is \u2026 (describe next step)]<\/em><\/p>\n

Have questions? Reach out and ask!<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll\/We\u2019ll be in touch soon with the next update!<\/em><\/p>\n

[Signature]<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Emails Sharing Resources<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Notifying your audience about new resources or timely ways to solve their problems.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve seen it \u2014 people invest heavily in creating a resource before they make it available \u2026 and then they tell no one<\/em>, so it languishes in a forgotten corner of the internet.<\/p>\n

Whether we\u2019re talking blogs, sales & marketing assets (check out the copywriting templates below), videos, or something else \u2014 a lot of time and energy goes into developing resources. To truly ensure they pay off \u2014 and just as importantly, help your audience solve their problems \u2014 you\u2019ve got to market<\/em> the resource.<\/p>\n

And if it solves a cyclical problem, it means you have a seasonal opportunity to reshare it and tie it to sales goals.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a copywriting template you can use:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the questions we hear most from [describe audience] like you is \u201cHow do we \u2026 [adapt question to your audience.]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We get it. [Symptom of problem] can stop you in your tracks. But you\u2019re not in this alone. We [wrote\/recorded\/created] something to help.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Describe what it is]<\/em><\/p>\n

Ready to dive in?<\/em><\/p>\n

[Read\/Watch\/Listen] here. (link to resource)<\/em><\/p>\n

Need help solving or troubleshooting? We\u2019ve got your back. Whether you need help identifying the right product for your needs, guidance on your next steps, or technical support, we\u2019re here. Just call [###-###-####] or hit reply to this email.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Problem or symptom of problem] doesn\u2019t have to be your problem anymore.<\/em><\/p>\n

Warm Regards,<\/em><\/p>\n

[Signature]<\/em><\/p>\n

P.S. Want some additional resources? Check out [link name] to learn more.<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Webinar Invite Emails<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Spreading the news about a training and getting people to show up.<\/p>\n

Events are one of the best ways to reach additional audiences. But there\u2019s nothing worse than putting a ton of time and effort into creating your event, only for no one to show up. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, don\u2019t want to do it again.<\/p>\n

There are several event marketing strategies<\/a> out there, but my favorite is a simple email \u2014 it\u2019s easy to write and send. And, you can continue to send additional emails out to people on your list who don\u2019t register using the same copywriting template by changing the subject line and intro text.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, make sure to show your audience what\u2019s in it for them and why<\/em> they should attend.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what that could look like:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019re invited \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re hosting a [free\/paid] training to help you [describe the problem you\u2019re solving].<\/em><\/p>\n

[Explain why you created training – 1-2 sentences]<\/em><\/p>\n

When you join us, you\u2019ll walk away:<\/em><\/p>\n

[Takeaway #1]<\/em>
\n [Takeaway #2]<\/em>
\n [Takeaway #3]<\/em> <\/p>\n

Sound like something that can help you? Here are the details<\/em><\/p>\n

Event Name:<\/em><\/p>\n

Date:<\/em><\/p>\n

Time:<\/em><\/p>\n

[Button:] Save Your Seat Here<\/em><\/p>\n

[If the recording will be available: Can\u2019t attend live? No problem. The recording will be available after the call.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Truly hope to see you on [date].<\/em><\/p>\n

Warm Regards,<\/em><\/p>\n

4 Cold Email Copywriting Templates<\/h3>\n\n

No one likes cold pitching. Strike that \u2014 some people absolutely LOVE cold pitching. I, however, am not one of them. Personally, I\u2019d rather start a conversation or a friendship and go from there \u2014 which is definitely the long game.<\/p>\n

However, done right, cold emails can lead to those conversations and be extremely effective.<\/p>\n

Just know that cold email has much lower open and conversion rates than email marketing campaigns do.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, there are some restrictions around who you can send cold emails to \u2014 some are legal in nature, others are driven by ESP (email service provider) terms of service. Make sure you know what you can (and can\u2019t) do before you start sending cold emails \u2014 check out these best practices.<\/a><\/p>\n

Before you start writing, keep a few rules in mind:<\/p>\n

Emails should be short, sweet, and to the point \u2014 100 words is a long, cold email.
\n Speak to their problem \u2014 show them what\u2019s in it for them
\n Include a low-risk ask that\u2019s easy to say yes to without requiring a significant commitment on their part <\/p>\n

7. Cold Email to New Prospect<\/h4>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Introducing yourself to a new prospective client.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an art to introducing yourself via cold email \u2014 you want to be warm and engaging without waxing overly poetic. Why? Cold emails are the equivalent of a door-to-door salesperson.<\/p>\n

You have a few words to get a foot in the door and invite them to a later conversation. With that in mind, I caution you to use them wisely.<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m [Your Name] with [Company Name], and my team and I help [describe audience] solve [describe problem you help them solve]. [Describe your products or offerings, and why they\u2019re beneficial to audience \u2014 one sentence only.]<\/em><\/p>\n

[Ask the question \u2014 Can I send you a catalog or spec sheet? Would this be worth a quick call? Can you tell me more about how you use X products?]<\/em><\/p>\n

Best, <\/em>[Your Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Cold Email Follow Up<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Following up on the last email.<\/p>\n

Do not \u2014 and I repeat \u2014 do not<\/em> send emails to your cold audience asking \u201cDid ya get my last email?\u201d There\u2019s a good chance they did and they ignored it. And just because you\u2019ve emailed them once, it does not<\/em> make them a warm audience. They are still cold until they engage.<\/p>\n

However, just because they didn\u2019t respond, it doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t follow up. I\u2019ve discovered that this sales adage is true: \u201cThe fortune is in the follow up.\u201d<\/p>\n

It just means that you\u2019ve got to follow up the smart way<\/em>. So what\u2019s that? Offer additional information or a new angle to look at what you\u2019ve shared already. It\u2019s totally fine to mention you reached out recently \u2014 just don\u2019t bug them about it or waste valuable email inbox real estate harping on the fact that they haven\u2019t responded yet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d encourage you to use something like this copywriting template for your cold follow-up:<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Since I first reached out a few weeks ago about [what you reached out for], we\u2019ve [released some new information or a new catalog, published a new blog or case study]. You might find it helpful\/interesting, so I wanted to share it with you. Check it out here (link).<\/em><\/p>\n

Would it be worth a short chat to discuss [how we can help\/product name can help]?<\/em><\/p>\n

Best,<\/em><\/p>\n

[Your Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

9. Cold Email Last Call<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>A last-ditch effort to get a response from someone you\u2019ve been reaching out to.<\/p>\n

You may have heard that a 9-word email is a great way to get a response. However, the 9-word email is dependent on some level of familiarity with the person. Usually, this copywriting template is used to breathe new life into cold leads.<\/p>\n

The 9-word email usually is [First Name], [short, direct question]?<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are a few examples of what this looks like:<\/p>\n

Jane, are you still interested in learning self-defense?<\/em>
\n Bob, did you hire a coach to scale your business?<\/em>
\n Chris, are you still looking for a technical writer?<\/em> <\/p>\n

So how can you adapt the 9-word email to cold outreach? Short answer? You take out the implied background knowledge. If they\u2019re a cold contact, you probably have no idea if they\u2019re looking to do something in the first place, let alone if they\u2019re \u201cstill\u201d <\/em>looking for it.<\/p>\n

Give it a shot using this copywriting template. Note, I always use the word \u201cHi,\u201d and I nearly always add in something to soften it. \u201cI\u2019ve got some ideas for you\u201d plants the seed and if they\u2019re interested, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ll be interested in learning more.<\/p>\n

Hi [First Name], are you [interested in\/looking for] a [solution\/way\/person] to [outcome]?<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got some ideas for you.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2014[Your Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

10. Cold Email Meeting Request at an Event<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Starting conversations with people likely to attend an event.<\/p>\n

I know I just said cold emails should come with a low-friction ask. It\u2019s one thing to ask \u201cWould it be worth a call?\u201d and another to ask them to buy a costly strategy session or spend an hour of their time on the phone with you.<\/p>\n

Live events and conferences are about the only exception to that rule I can think of. Why? The whole point of attending is to meet people and learn new things.<\/p>\n

So, if you have a list of people who are attending (or are likely to attend), the conference is the perfect \u201cnewsworthy\u201d opportunity to invite them to talk to you.<\/em> I say newsworthy because it\u2019s a timely angle and reason to reach out, even if you\u2019ve sent the Last Call copywriting template above.<\/p>\n

Remember, unless people opt in, you can\u2019t send email marketing messages \u2014 but you can do follow ups or invites 1:1 through cold tactics.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how I\u2019d do this:<\/p>\n

Hey [First Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Headed to [Event Name, Event Dates]? I\u2019ll be there [at Booth # if you have a booth\/the whole time\/on specific dates]. If you\u2019re going, I\u2019d love to connect with you.<\/em><\/p>\n

[List the things you\u2019re doing, will have at the booth, are hoping to learn.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Would you be up for a conversation while we\u2019re there? If so, grab a time on my calendar here. [link to booking link]<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not sure if you\u2019re attending yet or your schedule is up in the air, I\u2019d still love to chat with you. Just hit reply so I know to follow up and set up a time that works for both of us.<\/em><\/p>\n

Best,<\/em><\/p>\n

[Your Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

4 Blog Copywriting Templates<\/h3>\n\n

11. Product Review Blogs<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Informational blogs and product reviews to educate your audience.<\/p>\n

Blogs give copywriters a chance to dive deeper into topics in a way that isn\u2019t captured through emails, ads, or social media posts. There are so many different types of blogs you might write, so be sure to develop your blog strategy<\/a> to keep a close eye on what types of blog posts and topics perform best for your business.<\/p>\n

Since blogs tend to be longer than other types of copy, you want to make sure you\u2019re keeping your audience engaged. Consider what your readers may want from your post, and focus on answering the topic-related questions they\u2019ll most likely ask.<\/p>\n

This blog post template is an example of a product or service review.<\/p>\n

Title<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n

[Introduce the product\/service you\u2019re reviewing and relevant background information about the company and the product\/service. Clearly state what the reader will gain from reading the post.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Subheading<\/em><\/p>\n

[Write a brief<\/em> using keywords. Use headings throughout the post to break up the key sections of your post]<\/em><\/p>\n

Body<\/em><\/p>\n

[A few paragraphs will cover the bulk of the review here. If there are multiple features to the product\/service, section them separately as you review. Be detailed and answer the questions you think your audience may have about the product or service.]<\/em><\/p>\n

How much did it cost?<\/em>
\n What is the functionality?<\/em>
\n How was the customer service?<\/em>
\n Are you recommending the product\/service?<\/em>
\n Who would benefit from using the product\/service?<\/em> <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/em><\/p>\n

12. Informational \u201cHow to\u201d Blogs<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Establishing expertise by solving a common problem and driving SEO traffic.<\/p>\n

How-to blogs done right can be a labor of love, and I love them. Why? I love helping people and solving their problems \u2014 and that SEO traffic from people searching for \u201cHow to XYZ\u201d is pretty sweet, too.<\/p>\n

Using our AI Blog Writer tool<\/a> can shorten the process, too, helping you truly share your knowledge and help your audience.<\/p>\n

Title [Should be clear and actionable, speaking to what people will learn how to do.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/em><\/p>\n

1 sentence hook that draws the reader in, talking about why it\u2019s timely or important.<\/em>
\n Short overview that expands on the hook.<\/em>
\n Share your expertise and what qualifies you to talk about this.<\/em>
\n Offer a 1-2 sentence summary that states what people will walk away knowing how to do.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Subheadline outlining background information<\/em><\/p>\n

Define any important terms.<\/em>
\n Identify what people should know before reading on.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Subheadline: Step 1 – Describe Step<\/em><\/p>\n

Offer an overview of what this step is and why it\u2019s important.<\/em>
\n Walk through how to do this step, piece-by-piece.<\/em>
\n Offer best practices, screenshots, or any information that could help.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Subheadline: Step 2, 3, 4, 5 etc – Describe Step<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Share their next action.<\/em>
\n Offer final advice before people dig in.<\/em>
\n Provide a CTA.<\/em> <\/p>\n

13. Listicle or Roundup Blogs<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Sharing quick insights and overviews to help people see all their options and make a choice.<\/p>\n

Listicle blogs are fun because they offer an overview of a variety of options that the reader can then use to create a short list of whatever the listicle is covering \u2014 recipes, SaaS products, strategies, and more.<\/p>\n

Give this copywriting template a try:<\/p>\n

Title [Should include a number and speak to what you\u2019re covering or rounding up.]<\/em><\/p>\n

14. Show Notes Blogs Template Type<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Podcasters or vloggers who want SEO-friendly show notes that drive traffic to their site and content.<\/p>\n

The thing about YouTube and Apple Podcasts is that they\u2019re great for getting eyes (or ears) on your stuff from their platforms<\/em>. But you don\u2019t have a lot of control over the format or information you include. There are a few options to customize, to be sure, but as someone who lives and breathes websites and content, I am a fan of using your own real estate to provide a better experience to your audience.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where well-structured show notes come in. I\u2019ve used this blog copywriting template a few times for show notes for my podcasts and live videos <\/em>as well as guest appearances on other people\u2019s shows. In addition to creating a catalog of your episodes and appearances on your site, there is great SEO value, and again, the opportunity to control your digital channels.<\/p>\n

Try it out yourself:<\/p>\n

Title [Should be clear and engaging, summarizing the key topic of the epis<\/em>ode. (Example: \u201cHow to Build an Email List That Converts \u2013 [Podcast Name] Episode #25\u201d)]<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n

Give the short marketing version of what the video or audio recording covers \u2014 this is usually what appears on the YouTube or podcast description.<\/em>

\n List what people will learn.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Subheadline: Listen to [Episode # and Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

Embed audio or video.<\/em> <\/p>\n

\n Share a CTA.<\/em> <\/p>\n

6 Social Media Copywriting Templates<\/h3>\n\n

Writing copy for social media depends on the social platform. If you\u2019re writing for X or BlueSky, you have a strict character count, so the copy has to be brief but still appealing enough to get the attention of someone scrolling.<\/p>\n

Similar to X, Instagram is known for catchy captions. Character count isn\u2019t as much of a concern on Instagram. However, since the social media powerhouse is visually oriented, you\u2019ll want to write a caption that echoes the image or video in a post.<\/p>\n

Overall, the primary goal when copywriting for social media is to thoroughly understand the key differences among the social media platforms.<\/p>\n

15. LinkedIn Post<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Business owners, marketers, and thought leaders who want engaging, high-impact LinkedIn posts that drive interaction and build authority.<\/p>\n

I love LinkedIn. It\u2019s my favorite platform, and I\u2019ve built a community over there.<\/p>\n

However, most people I talk to run into two problems:<\/p>\n

First, lots of people treat LinkedIn like a resume board, only focusing on getting or posting jobs.
\n Second, in a bid to stand out, lots of people are busy trying to show up as experts, without actually engaging with others. <\/p>\n

The real magic happens when you use it to start conversations. Like other platforms, you have to know how to play to the algorithm, which rewards engagement with more engagement or at least more eyes on your content.<\/p>\n

Your posts should have a strong scroll-stopping hook, followed by 1-2 sentence paragraphs, a few bullets (arrows like this can be great \u2192), and a CTA of sorts. Instead of being clinical, focus on something that people care about \u2014 a little controversy is okay, and go forth and write.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a LinkedIn copywriting template:<\/p>\n

Start with a hook \u2014 a bold statement, question, or surprising fact to grab attention.<\/em><\/p>\n

E.g., \u201cWhat would you tell a college student interested in your career?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Offer context by expanding on that hook.<\/em><\/p>\n

E.g., \u201cA friend recently invited me to speak to her class. So I started thinking about what I\u2019d tell them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Share a few insights or takeaways, 3-5 is good.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c#1 – Takeaway + Description\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A CTA that encourages interaction and discussion.<\/em><\/p>\n

E.g., \u201cWhat about you? Anything you\u2019d change or add?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

16. Facebook Post<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Building community and driving engagement with your audience.<\/p>\n

Facebook is about connection and conversation. Unlike fast-moving platforms like X (Twitter) or TikTok, posts here have longer visibility \u2014 meaning strong storytelling, engagement hooks, and CTAs can keep the conversation going for days.<\/p>\n

While many people I know are moving away from Facebook in an effort to be less connected, it\u2019s still a great way to reach your people.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a copywriting template for Facebook:<\/p>\n

Start with a hook \u2014 usually a bold statement or question:<\/em>\u201cEver wonder why most people fail at [topic]?<\/em><\/p>\n

Continue expanding on the hook, keeping it relatable and conversational: When I first started, I thought [X] was the key. Turns out, I was missing [Y]. Here\u2019s what changed everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

Share takeaways or lessons in bullet points.<\/em><\/p>\n

Include a CTA: [Sign up here. Tag a friend who needs to see this.]<\/em><\/p>\n

17. Instagram Post<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Brands and businesses who want to create written content that enhances their visuals for more engagement.<\/p>\n

Instagram is all about those visuals. But the words matter too. While your Instagram strategy likely depends on who your audience is and your industry, a good caption goes a long way toward growing your engagement.<\/p>\n

Start with a short, punchy line that makes people tap \u201cmore.\u201d Feel free to use emojis.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMost businesses get this wrong. Are you making the same mistake? \ud83d\udc40\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Keep your sentences short and casual. \u201cI used to think [mistake]. But here\u2019s what actually works \u2b07\ufe0f\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Share quick insights as bullets using emojis instead of arrows. <\/em>\u201c\ud83d\udccc Tip #1: [Quick insight]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Share a CTA:<\/em><\/p>\n

Engagement CTA: \u201cDouble tap if you agree! \u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Comment CTA: \u201cTell me \u2014 have you experienced this too?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Next Step CTA: \u201cSee link in bio to save your seat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

18. X, Threads, or BlueSky Post<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Short, engaging content that sparks conversation.<\/p>\n

Twitter was never really my place \u2014 makes sense, since I\u2019m not a short form kind of person. When it switched to X, I started looking for alternatives and jumped onto Threads as soon as it launched.<\/p>\n

Then, when BlueSky started to become more popular, I dove in there, where I have approximately one post, which says something like, \u201cI\u2019m not caffeinated enough for a short, hot take.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, there are HUGE communities that have grown from these short-form content machines. Here is a copywriting template you can use to get started \u2014 just keep in mind that you have extremely<\/em> limited character counts, and you\u2019re going for max impact right off the bat.<\/p>\n

And of course, if you need<\/em> to expand, you can create threads.<\/p>\n

Most people fail at [thing] because they ignore [thing].<\/em><\/p>\n

I did too, until I figured out what finally worked.<\/em><\/p>\n

#1 – Don\u2019t [what to avoid].<\/em>#2 – Do [what to focus on].<\/em>#3 – Ignore [what to ignore].<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your take?<\/em><\/p>\n

19. YouTube Video Captions<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Video creators who want more eyes on their past videos and to keep subscribers engaged.<\/p>\n

YouTube is for videos, so why are we talking words? Because, at its core, YouTube is also a search engine, and you can optimize it for SEO just like you\u2019d optimize a blog post.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not your YouTube video description\u2019s only job. You also have to compel people to watch, and that means that you need a bright, compelling video cover, too. Note: Your video cover doesn\u2019t have to match your video title.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Here\u2019s a copywriting template you can use for your cover image, video title, and caption:<\/p>\n

Video Cover [Should be bright with big, bold text, 5-8 words max.]<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSTOP Doing This!! [one-word] Growth Hack!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Video Title: Descriptive and focused on keywords. Here are a few options:<\/em><\/p>\n

# + Powerful Descriptor + Keyword: \u201c9 Underrated Strategies to Grow Your Business\u201d<\/em>
\n Big Promise: \u201c3x Your ROAS with TikTok Lead Ads\u201d<\/em>
\n Curiosity: How to get 1,000 subscribers fast (no ads!)<\/em> <\/p>\n

Video Description:<\/em><\/p>\n

Opening hook should summarize what the video is about and include your keywords: \u201cWant to grow your YouTube channel fast? In this video, I break down the three strategies that helped me reach 100K subscribers in just six months!\u201d<\/em>
\n Share Timestamps to help your viewers jump to key moments and help them know what\u2019s coming.<\/em>
\n Links and Resources.<\/em>
\n CTA: \u201cLike, Comment, and Subscribe.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

20. TikTok Post Captions<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Short-form content creators who want people to stop scrolling and watch.<\/p>\n

On TikTok, your caption needs to work fast. Short, engaging, and curiosity-driven captions get more interactions. Plus, the right description helps your video get discovered.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick copywriting template you can use for your TikTok captions:<\/p>\n

Stop doing this if you want to [goal].<\/em><\/p>\n

You can avoid where most people screw up by [one sentence, two max]<\/em><\/p>\n

4 Sales Enablement & Informational Assets Copywriting Templates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Creating compelling sales enablement and informational assets is key to educating prospects, building trust, and accelerating the buyer\u2019s journey. But as I learned when I was starting out, it\u2019s important to define what you want to cover ahead of time and what you want it to look like to minimize rounds of edits.<\/p>\n

These assets provide valuable insights, answer common objections, and showcase real-world applications of your product or service \u2014 helping prospects make confident decisions. And I\u2019ve pulled together a few copywriting templates for you to help you get started!<\/p>\n

26. Ebooks<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Businesses, marketers, and entrepreneurs looking to create high-value lead magnets that attract and nurture potential customers.<\/p>\n

Ebooks<\/a> are one of the most common types of content copywriters can create. Since they are meant to contain extensive information, it\u2019s best to take the drafting process one section at a time.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example of a general ebook template:<\/p>\n

Cover\/Title Page<\/em><\/p>\n

[In addition to including the title of your ebook, you\u2019ll also include your cover image. If this is a company resource, also add your company\u2019s logo. If it\u2019s a resource coming directly from an individual contributor, include the author\u2019s name.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Table of Contents<\/em><\/p>\n

[The table of contents should clearly include a list of all the chapters or sections in the ebook, with the corresponding page numbers.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n

[Introduce the ebook topic with relevant background information and clearly state what the reader will gain from reading the ebook.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Chapter\/Section Pages<\/em><\/p>\n

[This is the best part of your ebook because it\u2019s where the core of your information will be for your readers. Break the writing into digestible paragraphs for better readability, and include relevant images to help break up the copy and fill excessive white space.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Conclusion Page<\/em><\/p>\n

[This is the closing of your ebook. The goal of your conclusion should emphasize what the reader has gained and any actionable steps they can use to put their new knowledge to good use.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Optional pages may include:<\/p>\n

About the Author Page<\/em><\/p>\n

[This page helps readers learn more about the author. The background information can vary depending on the author\u2019s level of comfort, but overall, the tone should be personable. This is also an opportunity to speak to the author\u2019s credibility of the ebook topic.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Interactive Pages<\/em><\/p>\n

[Interactive pages can help keep your readers engaged. These pages may include quizzes, worksheets, checklists, etc. Including an interactive page in each chapter or section can help your reader feel they\u2019re actively learning as they read.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Resources Page<\/em><\/p>\n

[You\u2019ve most likely referenced tons of sources to help you get the final version of your ebook. Include the most important resources on this page for readers who may want to do further exploration on their own.]<\/em><\/p>\n

27. Case Studies<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>B2B and B2C businesses that want to showcase real-world success stories and build credibility.<\/p>\n

Potential customers often turn to case studies when researching a product or service they\u2019re interested in buying. Case studies provide evidence of how a product or service has helped customers by identifying a pain point and providing a solution. They\u2019re great resources for copywriters to show off their interview skills and boast strong statistics.<\/p>\n

The key components of a case study are listed in the following copywriting template:<\/p>\n

Executive Summary<\/em><\/p>\n

[Provide a mini headline to grab your reader\u2019s attention. Then, underneath this headline, write two to four sentences (under 50 words) summarizing the whole story, making sure to include the most relevant points of the case study.]<\/em><\/p>\n

About the Client<\/em><\/p>\n

[Share a brief description of the company you\u2019re featuring in the case study. This should include the company\u2019s name, when the company was founded, what the company does, and any other relevant information you think would be helpful for readers.]<\/em><\/p>\n

The Challenges<\/em><\/p>\n

[Write two to three short paragraphs describing the pain points your client was experiencing before they bought from you, the challenges this presented, and\/or the goals they were trying to achieve.]<\/em><\/p>\n

The Solution<\/em><\/p>\n

[Write two to three short paragraphs describing how your company worked with your customer to find a solution to their challenges and implement a winning strategy. Use this space to describe how they are now using your product or service to solve their challenges from the previous section.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Results<\/em><\/p>\n

[Write a two- to three-paragraph conclusion to prove that your product\/service impacted the customer\u2019s business and helped them achieve their goals, especially if they\u2019ve been able to quantify or speak to the ROI of their investment.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Call-to-Action<\/em><\/p>\n

[Use your CTA to lead your prospect to a landing page or a contact form. This will give you more information on who\u2019s reading your case study and who\u2019s interested in your company.]<\/em><\/p>\n

28. One-Pagers<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Businesses that need a concise, high-impact asset to quickly communicate their unique value proposition.<\/p>\n

A one-pager is a visually engaging, single-page document that highlights the key benefits, features, and differentiators of your product, service, or company. It serves as a quick reference guide for prospects, investors, or stakeholders who need a high-level overview without sifting through long-form content.<\/p>\n

I always have fun creating them because I find it\u2019s like putting together a puzzle and making it all fit. Usually, they\u2019re one page front and back, so you have a bit more real estate to play with, but make sure you\u2019re clear on what will work for you and your company before you get started with this copywriting template.<\/p>\n

Headline focusing on the benefit to your audience:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHelping [target audience] [what you help them do] with [how you help them]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Section 1: Problem Statement<\/em><\/p>\n

Clearly define the problem your audience faces, keeping it brief but relatable to your target market, and highlighting what\u2019s at stake.<\/em><\/p>\n

Section 2: Solution Overview<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduce your product\/service as the answer to the problem. If you need to describe what it is or the methodology, do so first, but illustrate with a graphic if possible. Then, use a short paragraph or 3-4 bullet points for clarity.<\/em><\/p>\n

Section 3: Key Benefits<\/em><\/p>\n

Highlight 3-5 major benefits that make your solution stand out, focusing primarily on outcomes or what people really want to feel or experience after they solve the problem.<\/em><\/p>\n

Section 4: Social Proof<\/em><\/p>\n

Include a testimonial, case study stat, or credibility marker.<\/em><\/p>\n

29. Checklists<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Businesses and marketers looking to create actionable, easy-to-use resources for their audience.<\/p>\n

I love a good checklist \u2014 in fact, I used one as my first lead magnet and still use a version of it today! Why are checklists so awesome? They\u2019re usually easy to follow, actionable, and break down complex chunks of information into simple steps.<\/p>\n

And, checklists are good for more than lead magnets. They\u2019re also fantastic for onboarding materials, blog resources, sales enablement, and even internal processes and workflows.<\/p>\n

Use this copywriting template to create your checklist.<\/p>\n

Title: Describe what\u2019s in it for the user:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHow to [do thing] in [X] easy steps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

3 Copywriting Templates for Other Types of Communications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Not all communication is about marketing \u2014 sometimes, clarity, precision, and tone are even more critical in high-stakes or internal messaging. Whether you\u2019re handling a crisis, addressing customers, or sending internal memos, the right words can build trust, reduce confusion, and maintain professionalism.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the most important communications you\u2019ll need, even if they\u2019re not as common as the items listed above.<\/p>\n

30. Crisis Communications<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Businesses and organizations that need to respond swiftly and effectively during a crisis.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been tasked with writing for a crisis, you\u2019ll need to be especially attentive, as this type of content usually addresses serious or sensitive matters.<\/p>\n

Developing clear messaging for crisis communications requires a special level of detail. You\u2019ll want to convey an empathetic tone that appropriately addresses the crisis. It\u2019s a good idea to collaborate with team members to ensure the overall message is properly aligned with your company\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n

You may end up creating several pieces of content for a crisis, including blog posts, social media posts, emails, an announcement from the CEO, a newsletter, etc. The following copywriting template is an overview of what to address:<\/p>\n

An Overview of the Crisis<\/em><\/p>\n

[Clearly identify the crisis and share detailed background information on what has occurred. If you\u2019re addressing something that includes individuals, use discretion. Check with your company\u2019s legal team to ensure all documents follow proper protocol.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Plan of Action and Timeline<\/em><\/p>\n

[Create a plan that includes a timeline of how the events have developed and how your team will be addressing the issue(s) at hand. Consider the types of questions media outlets could ask and write prepared statements the company, leadership, and general team members can use to respond.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Contact Information<\/em><\/p>\n

[Share the best contact information people can use to learn more about what\u2019s happening and ask any additional questions. This could be your company\u2019s PR team or agency or an internal customer service or support team.]<\/em><\/p>\n

31. Customer Communications<\/h4>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Companies that need to update customers on important changes, policies, or service adjustments.<\/p>\n

Customer service is an essential part of any business. Writing to better understand and communicate with your customers is necessary to foster stronger connections.<\/p>\n

Creating buyer personas<\/a> is one of the best ways to better understand your customers. Buyer personas are semi-fictional representations of your ideal customers based on data and research.<\/p>\n

Use this copywriting template outline to begin developing your buyer personas.<\/p>\n

Background<\/em><\/p>\n

[Create a background for your persona that best exemplifies the types of customers you have. This can include their job title, career path, and family life.]<\/em><\/p>\n

32. Memos<\/h4>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Internal teams and leadership who need to communicate important updates efficiently.<\/p>\n

A memorandum, or memo, is used to address internal communications within an organization. Think about the type of message you want to communicate.<\/p>\n

A memo is likely a good idea if you\u2019re sharing minutes from a meeting, detailing new policies and procedures, or communicating anything people may need to reference.<\/p>\n

Memos tend to be longer and more formal than emails (although you may attach a memo to an announcement email) and may be formatted according to your company\u2019s style guidelines.<\/p>\n

Use this general memo template to get started.<\/p>\n

Memo: [Memo Title]<\/em><\/p>\n

Date: [Date of sending]<\/em><\/p>\n

Memo To: [Individual(s), Department(s), or Organization(s) the memo is being sent to]<\/em><\/p>\n

From: [Your Name, or the Name of the Department on whose behalf the memo is being sent]<\/em><\/p>\n

Subject: [Enter a brief, 5-to-10-word subject line to describe the memo\u2019s purpose]<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/em><\/p>\n

[Provide an executive summary of this memo in one to two paragraphs, highlighting the change that\u2019s happening, when it\u2019s effective, and what the key takeaways are for the memo recipient.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Background<\/em><\/p>\n

[Explain the background for this organizational change in one to two paragraphs.] Some questions to answer in this section might be:<\/em><\/p>\n

Why was this idea pursued in the first place?<\/em>
\n What data, research, or background information informed this decision?<\/em>
\n What are the intended results of this organizational change?<\/em> <\/p>\n

Overview and Timeline<\/em><\/p>\n

[Describe the organizational change in clear, direct language.] Specify the following:<\/em><\/p>\n

What will be changing?<\/em>
\n Who will be responsible for driving the change?<\/em>
\n When will the changes go into effect?<\/em> <\/p>\n

Closing<\/em><\/p>\n

[Close things out with a final note on]:<\/em><\/p>\n

Why employees should feel excited and motivated about this change.<\/em>
\n Where and when employees should submit questions, comments, and\/or concerns.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Should you use copywriting templates?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a copywriter, your job isn\u2019t just to write \u2014 it\u2019s to find the most compelling way to present information. Whether it\u2019s an email, a web page, or an ad headline, the challenge isn\u2019t just what to say but also how to say it in a way that guides the reader to the next step.<\/p>\n

Copywriting templates are controversial because some people in my circle say they make everything homogenous. I have a different take \u2014 I see copywriting templates as loose frameworks that are flexible and customizable as they give you a simple starting point to avoid that blank page and blinking cursor I mentioned above.<\/p>\n

In fact, I\u2019ve developed my own set of website copy templates to speed up client work, streamline my process, and eliminate guesswork. I teach them to other copywriters in my course \u2014 because my whole goal is to help you write quickly and take action, which is exactly where those templates come in handy.<\/p>\n

Speaking of controversy, let\u2019s talk about the elephant in the room \u2014 AI. It\u2019s becoming less controversial to use as a brainstorming tool to generate ideas and help you develop that first draft much more quickly. There are a few downsides to relying on it exclusively:<\/p>\n

AI looks a lot like \u2026 AI.<\/strong> It\u2019s like AI has taken what it perceives as fun conversational human language and turned it into rigid rules. I rewrite and reformat what AI makes so it sounds like me. And, of course, I ditch most of the emojis \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

You need to define your input AND your output ahead of time<\/strong>. Start by answering the five questions I identified at the beginning of this article, and plug those into your AI tool along with the template you want. That will help you get the output you want \u2026 and you\u2019ll be able to coach your AI on what you want it to create more of. <\/p>\n

Best Copywriting Formulas for Your Templates<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Imagine a slide. You\u2019re sitting at the top, and once you push off, there\u2019s no stopping. Now, I want you to assume every potential reader is sitting at the top of the slide, and it\u2019s your job to get them down.<\/p>\n

Every line of copy has one job \u2014 to get your reader to either read the next line or take action. How you do it depends on several factors, so I\u2019ve pulled together four of the best copywriting formulas to use in your new templates.<\/p>\n

BAB Formula<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In copywriting, the BAB formula is a popular tool. The acronym stands for before-after-bridge.<\/strong> It\u2019s a device used to appeal to the wants and needs of your audience. While this tactic is particularly effective in email marketing, it has its place in every avenue of copywriting.<\/p>\n

To start, you want to focus on the before<\/strong>. This section is typically used to highlight problems or pain points for your audience. Your goal is to make them see themselves in the scenario. Immediately following this, you want to highlight the after<\/strong>. Use this section to craft what life will look and feel like once you resolve their issue.<\/p>\n

Lastly, introduce the bridge<\/strong>. You\u2019ve shown your audience a problem. You\u2019ve demonstrated what it will look like when it\u2019s fixed. Now, how will you get there? The bridge should merge your before and after. Typically, this is when a company would introduce its products or services. However, if you\u2019re focused on creating a piece of content, you might use this section to propose an idea or advice.<\/p>\n

AIDA Formula<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another popular formula used by copywriters and marketers is AIDA<\/a>. The acronym is for A<\/strong>ttention, I<\/strong>nterest, D<\/strong>esire, A<\/strong>ction.<\/p>\n

First, you want to get your audience\u2019s attention<\/strong>. This will typically be done with a headline. Make a compelling statement. \u201cWhat Never to Eat on an Airplane\u201d<\/em> and \u201cWhy You\u2019ll Never Be a Millionaire<\/em>\u201d are two examples.<\/p>\n

Once you get their attention, you have to keep their interest<\/strong>. Goldfish are said to have an attention span of nine seconds \u2014 pretend you\u2019re writing for a goldfish. In this section, you might start by describing an interesting story. As you build out the copy, make sure this section is easily digestible for the high percentage of readers who will scan the information instead of reading it word-for-word.<\/p>\n

Next in the AIDA formula is desire<\/strong>. This section is all about the details. Focus on the pain points of your reader. Are they missing a product or service to make their lives easier? Are they missing the information they need? As you develop desire in your reader, include any features for a product or service. Mention benefits or a solution if you create a blog post or article. It would also be beneficial to add any testimonials if available. Your copy should emphasize how your reader\u2019s life will positively change with this product or information.<\/p>\n

Lastly, the AIDA formula wants to drive your reader to act<\/strong>. It calls for you to end your copy with a CTA. Common CTAs are \u201cBUY NOW\u201d or \u201cSIGN UP HERE!\u201d For a blog post, your CTA might direct them to comment on the post or share it with their peers.<\/p>\n

PAS Formula<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve likely heard the quote, \u201cWhen life hands you lemons, make lemonade.\u201d Now, imagine the lemons bringing a swarm of fruit flies because you have nowhere to store them. After you learn, you can make lemonade. That\u2019s what the PAS copywriting formula is.<\/p>\n

PAS stands for P<\/strong>roblem, A<\/strong>gitation, S<\/strong>olution. First, present the problem<\/strong>. During this step, you want to empathize with your reader. Put yourself in their position and present the issue as if you\u2019re experiencing it yourself. Once they are aware of it, make it worse.<\/p>\n

Step two of the PAS formula is to agitate<\/strong> the problem. Think of how your reader\u2019s problem could worsen, and tell them. Make it so they want to solve the situation now before it gets worse.<\/p>\n

The final step in this formula is to present the solution<\/strong>. Give them a way out. This is when you introduce your products, services, or advice.<\/p>\n

‘A’ plus ‘B’ equals copywriting.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Copywriting isn\u2019t always easy. If you\u2019re responsible for writing compelling copy across different formats, you know the challenge of finding fresh ways to say the same thing \u2014 over and over again.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, that\u2019s why copywriting templates and formulas are so popular \u2014 they speed up the process without sacrificing creativity. They give me a solid starting point, so I\u2019m never stuck staring at a blank page.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re just starting out, templates do more than save time \u2014 they help you understand what good copy looks like, what elements matter, and how to structure your messaging effectively. They give you a place to start, so you can focus on communicating what you need to say.<\/p>\n

When the words aren\u2019t flowing, don\u2019t force it. Use this as a resource to jumpstart your process, spark new ideas, and get back to what you do best \u2014 writing copy that works.<\/p>\n

The 4Ps Formula<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In this approach, you\u2019ll have to promise, picture, prove, <\/strong>and push.<\/strong> This method calls you to grab your reader\u2019s attention by making them a promise<\/strong>. You could easily alienate your target audience by making false claims, so ensure your promise is accurate. It is a promise you will have<\/em> to keep.<\/p>\n

Once you give the promise, paint a picture<\/strong>. You might want to throw a million adjectives around, but descriptions have different meanings to different individuals. \u201cExceptional craftsmanship\u201d might mean one thing to you and another to me. Instead, use specific details that demonstrate the craftsmanship. Using details and examples helps create a clearer image for your audience.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s time to prove<\/strong> yourself. You made a promise and created an image in your reader\u2019s head. How do they know it\u2019s true? In this section of the 4Ps formula, present your evidence. When selling a product or service, show customer testimonials or before-and-after images. For other content types, include data and statistics to bolster your claim. Once you\u2019ve painted the picture in your reader\u2019s head, the proof will solidify it.<\/p>\n
