7. 5 Advanced Copywriting Tips from a Pro

Svet Dimitrov has overseen over 500,000 words of copy, and he's sharing five advanced techniques to make your writing more compelling and effective.

Start with the “Big Idea”: Flesh out the core mechanism and story of your copy before you start writing. This saves time and improves clarity.

Fact-Check AI: Treat AI like an intern. It's powerful, but it often fabricates studies and facts. Always verify.

Use Real Sources: Don't make up claims or sources. With increasing regulation, grounding your copy in verifiable facts is crucial.

Read It Aloud: The simplest way to catch awkward phrasing and improve flow is to read your writing out loud.

Master Dialogue: Effective dialogue is key to great storytelling in copy. Focus on showing, not telling, and craft natural, emotionally resonant interactions.

Level up your copy game
