Here’s how this copywriting hack works. PS: please don’t share.

Write the first draft of the copy yourself.

Don’t worry about it being perfect but make sure you’ve followed editing rules.

Now go to someone on your team or use a service like draft.co.

Next, I’m going to ask you to lie. Here’s what you need to do. Pass these instructions to the copywriter:

I wrote this and ran it as a test. The test killed conversions.

How would you rewrite this? Things to consider:

– De-emphasize some of the things I emphasized.

– Add new Selling Angles.

– Shorten/lengthen the text.

The idea is to have the next attempt start with the belief that this idea totally failed.

Why This Copywriting Hack

A/B testing tools need one of the following two things in order to declare test outcomes:

– Large order volumes (over 400 a month).

– Big contrast between test concepts.

If your site is relatively small (most are) then you are better off setting tests that have big differences. This not only speeds up the A/B testing process but also helps you understand at a fundamental level what people are reacting to. These are the types of insights that will give you a real strategic advantage over competitors because most of your competitors are running safe tests.
