Here's a trick I learned from the world's greatest copy coach It’s tempting to describe your product as “fast,” “easy” or “all-in-one.” (because it probably is!) But don’t. ?????? ??????????’?? ???????????????? ???????? ?????????? Those vague platitudes can leave prospects guessing, according to Joanna Wiebe of Copyhackers. Plus, they sound like "marketing speak” (Because they are!) Remember, high-converting headlines use customers' exact words and talk about their specific struggles and goals. ???????? ???? ???? ??????????????? Instead of the ambiguity of “fast” and “easy,” get very, very specific: What “thing” does your product quickly and easily help people do? (e.g. Get more sales leads? Find a dog walker?) And Joanna crystallises this idea with the “now you can” test. ???? ????????'?? ?????? "??????????"? Go look at your headline. If it completes the sentence “Our product is…” You’re not using customers' words, and your headline will not resonate. But if your headline ?????????? resonate with your audience if it completes the sentence “Now you can ______.” If you really understand your customers’ struggles and goals, you can complete that “now you can…” with exactly the right words. (Especially the ??????????, they’re critical.) ???????????? ???????? ???????? Go back to your site, Ctrl-F, find those “fasts,” ”easies” and “all-in-ones” and turn them into “now you cans.” I hope this helps! BTW, I post stuff like this each week, but if you don’t follow me, you probably won’t see them.

(I’m ?????? being paid to promote Jo's stuff, I just really do think her content is incredibly useful!)
And the best way to figure out their pains & struggles, Matt, is by asking them.
Matt Lerner thanks for sharing this. While I was reading the post my mind went to https://cxl.com/institute/online-course/applied-neuromarketing/ It is the best resource I found so far explaining what happens in people’s minds when they are expose to information online.

Sonia Khella kind of what we were talking about earlier
What you want is your audience to come to the conclusion your solution is "fast" or "easy", but don't make that judgement call for them...
Very cool insights - can't see the link in the comments Matt Lerner (I might be brain dead)
Thank you, Matt. And you can ... use Jobs to be Done research to identify the struggles and goals of your customers, so that you can inform copy (product and marketing) that captivates and converts.
Now you can find top tips on attractive content!
