Make your message more specific.

See how the workbook turns a generic skincare ad into a message for a particular customer.

Before
“Get Beautiful Skin with Our Natural Products”

After
“Finally, Skincare That Won’t React with Your Retinoid”

The example changes the headline, image and copy to speak to one person’s problem.

From the hook lesson · Page 54

Give people a reason to stop.

The workbook explains four ways to open an ad:

  • Pattern interrupts: an unexpected visual or statement that still relates to your product.
  • Curiosity gaps: give people a reason to keep watching.
  • Problem callouts: describe a situation your customer recognises.
  • Benefit promises: lead with an outcome they want and can believe.
