In This Episode

0:55: April explains the REAL reason your customers think you’re full of it (and you can’t sell them a damn thing).

3:55: How April traded in her journalism career for copywriting, and how sleuthing taught her to hook readers like fish and never let go.

5:30: The ugly brick wall that every copywriter hits when writing for a big audience, and the simple step-by-step process April uses to leap straight over it.

8:55: The two bestselling books you need to read if you want to become a better writer. (Surprise! These aren’t more of your typical copywriting classics!)

10:10: How this famous writer conquered crippling rejection and a near fatal accident, then went on to write dozens more bestsellers (this will inspire you through any setback)

12:00: How April approaches the copywriting business as a woman, and the weird game she noticed being played around her. (Listen up, because this is an important lesson no matter your gender.)

15:20: This classic piece of business advice in the copywriting world is WRONG! (It’s also the reason Kevin quit doing standup comedy and made him think, “This is such bullshit.”)

18:00: The secret test April uses that ensures customers will love you (instead of telling you to take a hike).

21:50: The number one principle for gaining your reader’s trust (and their loyal patronage), with specific examples you can immediately start using in your copy TODAY.

26:10: Three ways to instantly bypass a reader’s doubt without any fuss. (Most people think they know this, but they do it wrong and sabotage their sales.)

30:30: April explains why you have to “fall in love” with your customer when you write copy for them. (Plus, the REAL reason you’re failing to get inside your reader’s head.)
