Where's the pain? How To Write A Compelling Post.

Justin Babcock • Apr 14, 2022

You don't know what to write. Your posts are a mess. You don't know what to write next. You're sick of writing about stuff that makes you sound... like yourself. Your confidence is low and your motives are unclear.


But what if there was a simple framework to follow? A way to make sure your post was structured properly and contained all the right elements?

And let's not forget the title - you've crafted the perfect one, with laser precision, but then spent an age picking a picture that suits it perfectly.


Is there a quicker way of doing this?

--

Notice the copy above starts with a pain point, "you don't know what to write." We've used this topic several times because we know writing is the number one obstacle for our clients. We also know that all of our programs address the "what to write" problem.


You can use this same process when writing. And, yes, it is a quicker way!


Here's how we work through it with our clients.



Step 1: ask "where's the pain?"


What specifically were your customers struggling with before they met you?



Step 2: write it out in the most simple terms.


For this post, we used the following bullet points:

  • You don't know what to write
  • You don't know how to write
  • You don't have a picture or design
  • You need a process



Step 3: go to app.copy.ai and use the pain-agitate-solution writing tool.


You can sign in or sign up for copy.ai. Click on the sales copy drop-down in the left-hand menu and select pain-agitate-solution. Type your bullets from step 2 into the "describe your product" field. This works if you are selling a service or a product. To finish, click on Create Copy.



Step 4: Pick your favorite copy, revise, and post.


You can copy your favorite text and post it into a word doc, google doc, or into our favorite writing app evernote.com. Revise as needed.

Now you can pick a picture from a stock photo app like pexels.com or go to canva.com and create your own design.



Now it's posting time.

Making the Right Choice: Building a Website Yourself or Hiring a Designer

By Justin Babcock • 12 Jul, 2023
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, establishing an online presence is paramount for every business. A well-structured and designed website can greatly enhance your brand's visibility and credibility. However, the process of creating a website can be daunting, especially when confronted with decisions like the cost of hiring a designer, how to find a suitable one, or opting for a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach using website builders like Wix or Squarespace. Making an informed choice can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Figuring Out Your Budget and Time: The Classic Decision Building a website involves an investment of both time and money. Hiring a designer can cost between $100 to $200 per website page, whereas setting up a website yourself might consume around 4 hours per page. It's a classic time or money conundrum that forces you to reassess your priorities. Do you have the design skills to build a website yourself? If not, using DIY applications may extend the time it takes for you to establish your online presence. However, if your budget is tight, investing your time into learning and implementing the process might be a viable option. DIY Website Builders: A Blessing or a Curse? Website builders like Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress have made website creation accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. But are they always the best choice? Wix Pros: Wix offers an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates, which make it easy for beginners to create a website. It also provides advanced features for more seasoned users. Cons: The flexibility of Wix can also be its downfall, as the wide range of options can be overwhelming. Its SEO capabilities have been criticized, and the free plan comes with ads. Squarespace Pros: Squarespace is known for its sleek, professional design templates. It offers comprehensive features and excellent customer support. Cons: Squarespace's pricing is slightly higher compared to other builders, and the platform can be less intuitive for first-time users. WordPress Pros: WordPress offers incredible flexibility and control, with thousands of themes and plugins. It's a great choice for blogs due to its strong content management system. Cons: WordPress has a steeper learning curve compared to other builders, and you may need to handle updates and security measures manually.
