Hello {{first_name | Friend}},
Today’s prompt focuses on secret weapon: the story that hooks.
Copy Prompt
Facts inform. Stories sell.
It’s great to open with something so personal, so raw, the reader couldn’t look away. Why? Because a story lowers defenses.
Instead of feeling “marketed to,” the reader feels pulled into a conversation.
Here’s what it looks like:
“I still remember sitting at my desk at 2 a.m., staring at the numbers in disbelief. I’d just blown $3,000 on ads that brought in… nothing.”
“Back in 2009, I was sleeping on a friend’s couch, broke and wondering if I’d ever figure this copy thing out.”
“The first time I tried selling online, my mom was my only customer. And even she asked for a discount.”
See it? You’re not selling yet, you’re pulling them closer. Once the reader feels the story, you can bridge into the lesson and the offer.
Today’s drill: Write the first 3 sentences of a story that connects to your product. Keep it human, relatable, and honest. If it feels like something you’d tell a friend over coffee, you’re on the right track.
Because people forget facts. But they remember stories.
