Sales Copy Masterclass Part 3 | BSB80
September 24, 2020 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.2 MBYour hero drives the action. In blurbs, you almost never need to mention side characters. Most BPF blurbs mention only the hero (or dual heroes in a romance) and maybe the villain. Sometimes a character’s mentor will be mentioned, etc. But add too many and readers will get confused when they have to remember all the name soup (people skim!). Since your protag drives, every sentence in the blurb should be from that POV. When driving the action, verbs and plot points matter. In your blurbs...
Sales Copy Masterclass Part 2 | BSB79
September 17, 2020 07:00 - 33 minutes - 29.5 MB12 lessons Jim learned about copywriting: Echoes are not fine: what you want to avoid are “twice told tales” of repeating uncommon words too closely or saying the same thing more than once. Word count matters! Sentence construction is also important. You want your blurb to be a rollercoaster, not a pub crawl. People shouldn’t “self-pace” when reading your blurb. You want to grab them from the first line and propel them forward. You do this by mixing short and long sentences and transition...
Sales Copy Masterclass Part 1 | BSB78
September 10, 2020 07:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBEmotional response: good sales copy speaks to people on an emotional level. It used to baffle me why companies said things like “AT&T is proud to announce...” It’s why at BPF we like to include emotion words and actions, like showing teeth gritting, butterflies in the stomach, etc. Readers want to connect with a character on an emotional level. It’s why the first sentence after the hook is reserved for meeting the character, without introducing plot details. Clarity over cleverness: peo...
