Day 4
I wrote out my 5 headlines and my 10 sentences using influential words. I will not post them here per the action step for Day 4.

The action that I had been putting off was applying to a marketing assistant position as I didn't think I would get hired as I have no marketing experience. I have a wide range of other experience but doubted my chances. I would like a marketing position as I want to understand and learn different aspects of marketing campaigns as weel as copywriting. I applied for a psoition today with my CV and application form. It didn't take long to apply for the position and at least now I don't have to think about "Will they hire me?". If they do then great and if not then I realise what I have to do. I am taking steps to becoming a copyrwriter through these action steps and also via Udemy. By the end of the month I want to have completed my first freelance copywriting gig.

Day 5 - Full page of copy for a real product

Product - Black-Out Curtains

Have You Been Sleeping Wrong Your Whole Life?

Have you ever woken up feeling tired?
Ever felt like using your arms as a mid-afternoon pillow?

If you answered no, then congratulations, job done, go take a well-earned nap!
For everyone else…

We have the solution!

Now. Sleep is important. We all know that. “Get your 8 hours!”, Mum always said.
But…
What if you are doing it all wrong?
What if the secret to more energy is not another iced americano?
What if you just needed to turn to the dark side?

No, no, no… leave your Star Wars ideas elsewhere

What we are talking about is something much simpler.
A problem that you never knew was even there.
Something we like to call…

LIGHT!

How Light is Sabotaging Your Sleep!

Good sleep and light don’t go together.
Don’t believe me?
Here’s what Harvard had to say:

Light at night is part of the reason so many people don't get enough sleep…and researchers have linked short sleep to increased risk for depression, as well as diabetes and cardiovascular problems.”

There is a lot more science confirming this but
I won’t bore you with the details!

The secret?

Get the Light Outta the Bedroom!

So, you know that light is bad for your sleep. Now what…

How do we get the light out of the bedroom?
Well…it’s simple.
All you need to do
Is call up your neighbours. Have them turn off all their lights.
Then you will want to call the council. Make them turn off the streetlights too.
Then you can go to sleep.
Sounds good right?

…of course not!

So, how do you get the light out of the bedroom?

Block the Light with Black-Out

If you can’t stop the light at its source, then
You must stop it coming in.

Imagine this…
You wake up in the morning.
You stretch out your arms. You jump out of bed. You start your day.
No morning tiredness. No snooze button. No afternoon slump.

What if this was your new morning routine?
What if this was YOU?

Great News!

Now this can be you!

Sign up now to get FREE information on what Black-Out Curtains are right for you!

Order before Friday and you get a FREE sleep mask with your purchase!

Day 3 | Influence Lesson 1
The Butterfly Effect

We can never truly know the real impact of our words.

Influence is inevitable.” – Unknown

Some of you may think this quote ridiculous.
Maybe you read it and say, “Inevitable? No way. I read Robert Cialdini’s book, and there’s no way I can be influenced now.”

But you are wrong.


Influence happens constantly. Consistently. All around us, all the time. It happens to us, and there’s not a damn thing we can do to stop it. Need proof? Stay awake until you fall asleep. Prove that you can’t be influenced by fatigue, and I’ll never write again.

I can make that statement with confidence because I know that you can be influenced, just as I can be influenced, and just as every other person can be influenced.

But this lesson isn’t about the fact that every single one of us can be influenced.

It’s to help you understand that every action you take, whether physical, mental, verbal or written, influences others, yourself, and the future as you know it.

That’s great, but how does it apply to copywriting?

This could very easily breach the realm of mindset, but this isn’t a mindset lesson, so let’s narrow it down to the words we write.

When was the last time you gave extreme consideration to how your words would be received?


Recall the last time you posted on this forum. Did you spend hours thinking about how people would respond? Did you wonder if your post would help someone instantly?

And did you also spend hours thinking about how people 5 years from now would be impacted when they read it? Or did you simply post it without much thought at all?

What if something you say today triggers a powerful chain of events leading to another Fastlane member’s freedom 3 years from now? How would that make you feel?

That’s the big picture with influence. That’s how it works. What we write today influences others long into the future, and we can never truly know how far that influence extends.

That’s why every word we write MUST have a purpose.

Influence is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean it's always positive. If your writing sucks, or if you blindly write without structure, rhyme or reason, then your copy will negatively impact everyone who reads it for many years to come. But, if you write with intent, always moving toward a specific outcome, then you can practically guarantee you'll have a positive effect.

Good copywriters always keep influence in mind. They know it's not black & white. They know that just because a prospect doesn't buy today doesn't mean he won't come back tomorrow. That's why we always write every single word with a purpose.


Good copy doesn't just drive the sale today.
It plants seeds that drive sales tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day after that.


Alright, enough lecture.

Let's read some kick-a$$ example phrases that'll unlock your mind and
open doors to worlds you never imagined possible!

Influential Words that Sell Today


All of these words & phrases are commands that drive action and
influence your prospect to take the next step.

These tacos won't last long.
They're going fast!


Words that Influence Long Into the Future


These words & phrases are called idea seed planters. They
plant seeds of thought that grow either throughout the
length of your copy, or over a period of time with
repeat exposure.

Consider this.
Think about it.
Consider it.
Give it some thought.
Ponder it.
Mull it over.
Consider your options.
Maybe it's right for you.
What's the worst that could happen?
Imagine how you'll benefit.
Imagine what you'll gain.
Just imagine it.
Sleep on it.

Just
do
it​


There are way more phrases than this.

This is just a small sample of some of the words you can use to influence your prospects, readers, clients, & customers.

Influence is what copywriting is all about.

It's about taking the influence that's going to happen anyway, and giving it direction. It's not about manipulating people. It's about helping customers reach the outcomes they want, and also reaching your own outcomes at the same time.

Everyone should benefit.

To ensure your copy always packs the most powerful impact possible, write with the intent of influencing people throughout all concepts of time whether it's right now, this week, or 10 years in the future.

And always seek to have a positive impact on others.


Day 3 Challenge
1. Help someone. Solve a problem for someone. Do it without asking for anything in return just like yesterday, and just like the day before. Remember, it doesn't have to be something epic. Just something that impacts them positively in some way.

2. Write 5 new headlines that MAKE THEM STOP, and tap into your prospects desires & emotions.

3. Using your product or service, or something you make up, write a paragraph or two to your target customer utilizing the influential phrases you learned in this post. Consider using all 3 types of phrases for maximum impact, and remember to write with intent. Find ways to show how your product helps your customer while driving them toward the action you want them to take.

Do this before reading the next lesson, or don't keep going forward.

Now that you know that influence is inevitable you can
start writing copy with intent & purpose so you can
achieve your desired results in the shortest
time possible. Always write for positive
outcomes. That's it for this lesson.
When you're ready, continue
on to Day 4 - Mindset
Lesson
2
Hi All,

Just finished reading Day 3 and have also been combining this exercise with Lex's post on his site about taking action immediately and writing copy on a free wordpress site to get going. I'd love some input/feedback on how you think I'm doing so far.

I've copied some of my headlines below. Let me know what you think! They're just random-a** topics that first popped into mind when doing this lol. I also got carried away this morning and started going into a bit of (what I think) is some copywriting on hiring a copywriter. It's not complete yet, but will start to transition into selling them on the 'copywriter' in the next paragraph, if that makes sense.

Also, (no clickbait, etc) but I threw up the wordpress link I'm using for my copywriting practice for more of example headlines, so that I don't spam this entire thread with every practice headlines ive been doing. Feel free to check it out, don't, whatever. I dont care about the traffic, but just want as much constructive critique as possible. Thanks all!

New E-Book Reveals Secret Methods Proven to Increase Your Personal Potential​

Do you feel like your self-confidence could use a boost?

Are you wanting more from your relationships at home and at work?

Would you like to see your life become one that others could call ‘inspirational’?

If you answered ‘YES’ to at least one of these questions, keep reading.

I’ve been where you are, and I know you’re capable of great things.

If this sounds hard to believe, I get it.

There was a period where I felt like that wasn’t true for me, either.

It wasn’t until I discovered the simple secrets that all great leaders have known on a subconscious level. Of course, I didn’t come by this information by pouring over lots of self-help books. I also didn’t attend a bunch of seminars from today’s life coaches to come by these priceless secrets.

When I stumbled upon these, I was floored at how simple these tricks are. At first, I was very skeptical that they would work.

How could all this be so easy? Surely, there had to be more to it than this. I mean, I couldn’t believe how I was feeling more and more like a superhero than I ever felt in my life!

To say this information is life-changing doesn’t do it justice!

I went from someone who was struggling to climb the ladder in my career, to someone who regularly receives promotions and is on the fast track!

I used to get into regular shouting matches with my wife. I wasn’t sure if I was a good enough father to my kids. I was fearful of what my co-workers were saying. I was even convinced that they were plotting to end my career at one point.

I was a nervous wreck. Conflict of any kind was enough to make me break out in cold sweats! My level of confidence in myself was at lows that I’ve never known before.

It became so bad that I considered talking to my doctor about medication for depression and anxiety.

From nervous wreck to superstar – in a matter of days!

I meet regularly with the top executives of my company, and walk and talk with confidence I haven’t known in years!

My wife and I are closer than we’ve ever been. I have an incredible relationship with my kids.

I have the poise and skill to handle conflict as soon as it arises, and I get along much better with my co-workers. We even go out for drinks every week!

And I accomplished all of this, without the need for any kind of medication!

If I can do this, imagine what this can do for you!

This book can take your life to new heights, even beyond what you ever dreamed was possible! The information is easy to apply, and effective in its impact. You can take advantage of this information and have it on hand to read anywhere, in a convenient E-Book format.

You can have this information anywhere you go.

Today, I’m offering these secrets for the low price of only $15.99 if you order within the next 24 hours. ($40 value)

Day 1 | Mindset Lesson 1
Be Like Jesus - Forget You. Help Them.

I’m not sure there’s any more simple way to put it than be like Jesus. The first step to copywriting that makes money fast is to forget yourself. Forget yourself and start caring about other people.

Fake it if you have to. Fake it til’ you make it. But always operate with the intention of making it real.

Leave religion out of the picture. The only thing we’re focused on is a mindset of being focused on other people. Learning to care & help others is extremely powerful. Not only does it change the way you look at the world, but it changes the way the world looks at you.

It seems like a simple shift to make, but it’s not. It took me years to figure out what it actually means to care about others. It took years to figure out that if I just help others, good juju comes my way.

Now I finally understand, and I earn more than ever… Coincidence? Not likely.

You don’t need to fully understand why it works to make it work. All you need to do is try it. All that matters is results, remember? So start thinking in terms of other people. Start accepting others as they are. Start finding ways to help others, and you’ll find the #1 mindset technique to making money with copy.

Since I pretty much beat this concept to death in my other thread, I won’t drag it out here.

Just know that your copy won’t earn a penny until you learn to solve problems for other people.

That’s the first of the 5 Mindset lessons.

Forget You. Help Them.

Day 1 Challenge

Really
Help Someone – When I say help someone I’m not talking about convincing them that you can help them. It’s not about making them believe you can help them. It’s about actually helping them. But most of the people reading this will miss that part. That’s why I keep getting messages asking questions like “How do I get them to believe I can help them?”

The only way to get them to believe you can help them is if you actually prove you can help them, and to prove you can help them you actually have to be capable of performing the task. But before you can do that you have to be operating from the right mindset. So your challenge for Day 1 is to find someone and help them without asking anything in return.

It doesn’t matter how big or small the task, and it doesn't matter if it's online or in person. All that matters is that it truly affects the other person by making their life better, easier, more enjoyable etc.

Do it today.

Succeed at this challenge today or don’t bother reading tomorrow. Either you’re willing to take action now, and do what it takes, or you’re not, and the rest of the lessons won’t help anyway.


That's all for lesson 1. Forget you. Help them.

When
you
are
ready
continue on to Day
2 - Technique
Lesson
1

The funny thing is that I just helped an older lady fix her broken eavestrough right before I read this post. I'm on a roll already.

Day 10

Did the exercise and developed my new life metaphor

I talked a person through a personal problem and helped shifted his perspective.

I wrote out what my sources of income would be: freelance copywriting (active), writing and selling books on Amazon (active to create & sell, passive income), and creating online courses (active to create & sell, passive income). I have a plan on paper to make it all work in a cohesive way. It gives me a lot of peace seeing how these pieces fit in the overall puzzle of my ventures.

5 Headlines for a specific niche:

“Take the First Steps to High Self-Confidence TODAY!”

“How to Be More Likeable INSTANTLY!”

“The Secrets to Success No One Talks About!”

“4 Simple Ways To Adjust Your Thinking that Soothes Stress FAST!”

“’Mindset Matters’, the 1-Day Masterclass To Make Your Dreams Become Reality!”

Product description:

Day 11

Short story

I came home one night. All of my wife’s stuff was gone. I was already at a dark point in my life. My job was robbing me of my vitality. I felt as if living was a dull, repetitive experience. Every day felt the same. This felt like rock bottom. Believe it or not, THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

Don’t get me wrong - that night was one of the hardest nights of my life. But if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be sharing what I’ve learned about personal development! This experience made me realize how powerful our minds are. Through my outlook and how I viewed the world at that point, I created my own circumstances. It took me months to realize this power after that night, but once I did, MY LIFE IMPROVED 100-FOLD!

I started taking actions to change what wasn’t giving me satisfaction. I had confidence that I’d never known before. People are treating me with more respect. I feel ecstatic to be alive. This goes deeper than simple positive thinking! It’s more profound than The Law of Attraction! These are the methods that I stumbled across after looking inward at why my life turned out like it did. It gave me the power to turn EVERYTHING around. And it’s my privilege to share all of this in my book, “Become Whole”, with people around the world!

3 headlines:

“From Failure to Success in a FEW SHORT MONTHS!”

“How Being Down on My Luck Forged Me to Incredible Success!”

“The Wisdom That Turned My Worst Tragedy into My Greatest Triumph!”

Day 12

5 pain-pleasure headlines:

“Get the Hairstyle of Your Dreams Without Half the Maintenance”
“The Alarm That Keeps Your Mind at Ease and Burglars Out”
“Complete Firewall, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Hacker Solution that Keeps Your Profits Flowing In”
“Finally, A Smear-Free Hair Dye That Fires Up The Ladies!”
“Your Neighbors Will Envy Your Patio with Our Waterproof Wood Finisher!”

2 Paragraphs:

Imagine walking along the beach. The cool breeze brushes against you. The sky is getting that gorgeous sunset glow. Things are quiet – all you hear are the waves and a couple of seagulls. You are savoring every pleasurable moment. But then, ALL OF A SUDDEN….

From out of nowhere, you hear a lady cry out for help. Her purse has been snatched! After focusing your eyes ahead of you, you see that the purse-snatcher is headed in your direction. As the crook passes, as if by instinct, you stretch your arm in front of him, knocking him down. Before you know it, you’re grabbing her purse and running over to return it. It all happened so fast. After thinking about it, you realize something – you took LIMITLESS, the #1 patented supplement that unlocks your mind’s potential!

How I helped someone today:
I voluntarily shared my story and insights with an author writing a self-help book.

Action I’ve taken:
I grinded a bit on Facebook to help drive traffic to my book. It’s a bit painful as I don’t get a lot of sales leads from that, but it does make an impact.

Day 13

5 negative things I say about myself

I’ll never make it. I can’t make it. Yes, you can. You’ve accomplished many great things in the past. You’ve already proven to yourself that you can set your mind to whatever you put your mind to. You can and will make it!
You have such a long way to go. You may as well give up. The beauty is in the process. Achieving large goals builds character and crafts strong people. You are a strong person. Keep pushing forward!
I’m giving up my past education by getting into copywriting. I have an MBA in business administration. Sales and Marketing is a big part of my business education. You are using your education very well by making the leap into copywriting.
I don’t know what I want because I keep shifting career ambitions. Yes, I’ve changed careers in the middle of my life. That’s perfectly fine and normal. Also, I’ve been building skills up to this point, making a natural transition to copywriting.
You don’t have the people skills to succeed. Not true. I’ve aced job interviewers and have persuaded people in the past. I have good people skills and I can make this work!

Udemy commercial script

An attractive lady is sitting at a desk, working on a spreadsheet accounting report.

She turns to the screen and says:

“A month ago, I had no idea how to create spreadsheet reports from accounting data from programs such as MS Excel.

The camera pan to the right towards a laptop, as she reaches her hand in that direction. She turns the laptop screen showing the Udemy logo towards the camera as she states:

First of all thank you @Lex DeVille for this challenge. I've been on TFF for a while now, and even if I've never learned and built so much in my life, I still struggle to take real action with my company, even if everything is ready. It seem that I have an action faking problem, and analysis paralysis. I started to understand that the most sucessfull people on this forum are also the most actives and those who share the most.

So I decided to dive in your challenge and share my progress, because it seem to help people taking action and deal with deadlines. Moreover, maybe someone will find some value in my sharing.


The reasons I am doing this challenge

-To learn taking real action
-To learn dealing with deadlines
-Copywritting is a good complement in my field (I started an advertising company)
-I really could use some extra cash (to help me move forward and get confidence)


The rules I'll apply

-No cheating. I will read the challenge every morning, no more, for making it the right way
-No excuses or lazyness. (e.g I'm not a native English speaker, but F*ck it, I'll get better)
-I will publish my progress everyday, in order to take recognizance before witnesses
-I will also post personnals enlightments I learned doing that



INTRODUCTION (DAY 0)

My excuses are were:
-"I am not ready yet"
-"I can make it better"
-"I have plenty more time"

All of it being excuses for lack of confidence, lazyness and fear of failure, success and judgments.

All of that leading me - as I say - into action faking and analysis paralysis, despite the fact that I have really goods reactions when I move my a$$ to clients and show them my project.

What I have learned: The toilet metaphore is really useful and I can use it anytime I want for a lot of things in my life, I think I'll start doing it every night before sleep.
