Hello {{first_name | Friend}},
Today’s prompt is about a force more powerful than persuasion itself: curiosity.
Copy Prompt
Joe Sugarman knew something simple but deadly effective: people can’t resist an unfinished thought.
Give them part of the story, and the brain demands the rest. That’s why some ads pull you down the page line after line… you’re hooked by the gap between what you know and what you need to know.
Here’s how it works:
“Our software uses predictive analytics.” → Flat.
“The little-known mistake killing your email open rates (and how to fix it in 60 seconds).” → Open loop.
“Our supplement contains vitamin D.” → Flat.
“The vitamin most people take daily that’s quietly making them more tired.” → Open loop.
See the difference? The first ends the thought. The second forces you to keep reading.
This week’s drill: Take one feature of your product. Rewrite it as an open loop headline: give away just enough to create tension, but not enough to close the gap.
Because once curiosity is triggered, your reader has to stick around.
