Let’s run through some examples from items around me right now…

8. Rewrite Gumroad sales pages (@LoftedLearning)
When I first started writing copy, I would practice by rewriting Gumroad sales pages.
— Logan | Landing Pages (@LoftedLearning) September 12, 2021
I would:
• do a little research on the audience
• rewrite the copy
• ask the owner of that Gumroad page if they wanted it for $20
Made me a little money and got a ton of practice.
9. Rewrite e-mail subjects of your unopened mails (@ikbeer) For every message in your inbox, ask yourself: > Why did open it? Or: > Why did I ignore it?
10. Create a shortlist of dramatic words (@waronweakness) It'll help you to think 'outside-the-box'. And you can reuse it in your copy!
✒ Daily writing tip:
— Eddy Quan (@waronweakness) January 22, 2022
Study dramatic words and keep a list of your favourite ones.
They make your message easier to visualise and understand than bland words.
Eg. He's a "bulldog" >> He's "tough"
This simple habit will make your writing pop
11. Rewrite your old positive copy into negative copy (@VedikaBhaia)
Copywriting tip: Be negative.
— Vedika Bhaia (@VedikaBhaia) November 1, 2021
Instead of saying "Tips to scale your brand"
Say "Top blunders that are hurting your business"
12. Rewrite Product Hunt pages (@ikbeer) Honestly, this is my go-to exercise. It requires you to think about everything: > Hook > Benefits > CTA > Visuals AND... maybe you'll even pick up some great deals too! > Tip: sort by newest
13. Rewrite someone's Twitter profile (@ikbeer) There's a reason WHY you decide to hit that follow button. So tell me.. How would you improve my profile?
