When I apply his teachings I hit the\u00a0ball exponentially more consistently, and with way less frustration.<\/p>\n<p>So it is with copywriting, too, my little droogie.<\/p>\n<p>Keep it to as few &#8220;angles&#8221; as possible, and it&#8217;s MUCH easier.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p>In tomorrow&#8217;s &#8220;Ben Settle Show&#8221; I strip copywriting down to as few\u00a0angles (just 5) as possible with an almost laughably simple\u00a0&#8220;formula&#8221; I have used to write nearly every single 7-figure earning\u00a0sales letter I&#8217;ve ever written (including some ads that have run\u00a0for the last 6-7 years without being beaten by other copywriters).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re talking 5 simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>(As opposed to the 40-point checklists floating around online.)<\/p>\n<p>Nothing fancy.<\/p>\n<p>No bells and whistles.<\/p>\n<p>And, nothing complicated.<\/p>\n<p>It just don&#8217;t get more simple than that, babycakes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be posted tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, download past shows here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.BenSettleShow.com\/itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.BenSettleShow.com\/itunes<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got the &#8220;bug&#8221; to rap about copywriting today.
