šCopywriting tipā Use short paragraphs, sentences, and words to pack punch to your copy.
Writing is analogous to the flow of a baseball game.
ā¾ļø Think of the headline as the opening inning. It gets your the attention of your audience and sets the tone for the rest of your copy.
The first sentence leads to the secondā the lead off hitter gets on baseball to set the other batters for success.
ā Keep your sentences short to keep your readersā attention
Donāt get me wrong. Sometimes you need to have a longer sentenceāespecially when you want to provide facts or evidence for a claim.
Use those short punchy sentences to your advantage.
ā¾ļø Short punchy sentences are like hitting a home-run or grand slam. Immediate impact.
ā¾ļø Longer sentences are similar to hitting to playing small ball (stringing singles together, stealing bases, or sacrifice bunts to advance runners)š
ā¾ļø Packing your copyās lineup will get your audienceās attention, but without sentence variety you canāt defeat distractions.
ā Hit for average (long sentences) and power (short, punchy sentences)when you write.
