How do you know when your copywriting is ready for critique?

"You've penned your heart out, but is it ready for the world?" That's the big question, isn't it? (And here I thought I was being clever). Crafting words is an art. But knowing when it's critique-ready? ???? That’s a whole other ball game. Here's the thing... If you're reading your copy and thinking, "This is it. Perfect," stop right there. Perfection in the first go is a myth. Look for these signs instead: 1) It speaks directly to your audience. ? Like, really talks to them → Not at them. (There's a difference). 2) The value is as clear as day. ? If your mom can't tell what the point is → it's not ready. 3)You've trimmed the fat. ? Every word earns its keep → No passengers on this ride. Got all that? Good.

1. Catchy Headline and Clear Structure: Ensure your headline grabs attention and your copy is broken down with subheadings and bullet points for easy reading. 2. Conversational Tone and Simple Language: Check if your writing feels like a friendly chat and avoids complex jargon, making your message accessible to all. 3. Compelling End with a Strong Call to Action: Make sure you've clearly outlined the benefits, stirred a sense of urgency, and ended with a direct call to action, guiding readers on what to do next.

Your copy is ready for critique when you're open to feedback from people. Most times, feedbacks are heart breakers but then it's a way of getting better as a copywriter.

Feedback from the right people is a great source of insights and important points for improvement. I usually ask for feedback in online communities I am in and expert copywriters in the market. And to make these feedback effective, it’s important to implement and adapt to the changes or revisions needed.

Don't take financial advice from people who aren't rich. Simple. Take feedback from people who arr right for you, and can offer you critique you can actually use. Someone that can show you some tried and tested frameworks for you to apply. They can edit your copy and make it 100x better rather than just giving value and unnecessary reviews.

If you find yourself getting too close to the content, it might be time for an external perspective. If you've reached a point where you're unsure about certain elements or need validation, it's an excellent time for critique.

Be open minded. Ask questions that makes you uncomfortable. Like: If I were to be a prospect, would I buy into this? Would I buy now? Or better still... Give it to a mentor or someone who knows better than you.

Quando você finalizar sua pe?a, ao menos a concep??o e principais pontos, deixe o texto descansar, pelo menos por um tempo. Depois, fa?a uma revis?o lendo em voz alta, sozinho. Normalmente, esse momento é extremamente valioso para um feedback de outra pessoa ou de uma IA. No caso, valorize opini?o de pessoas que s?o seu público alvo ou especialistas na área que você está escrevendo.

Take a step back and try to read your copy objectively. If you can distance yourself from the emotional attachment to your writing, it becomes easier to identify areas for improvement.
