Copy rewrite rules
All rewrites follow these principles:- 5th-7th grade reading level — Simple words, short sentences
- Benefits > Features — Sell outcomes, not attributes
- Cocktail Party Test — If you wouldn’t say it face-to-face, don’t write it
- Outcome Clarity — Be specific (“double your sales in 30 days” not “revolutionize your business”)
- New Opportunity — Position as fresh and different
- Performance > Branding — Conversion over polish
- Simple scales, complex fails — Don’t over-complicate
- Story format — Use narratives in VSLs, emails, and ads
Use cases
- Launching a new product and building the funnel from scratch
- Diagnosing why conversion rates dropped
- Optimizing an existing funnel before scaling ad spend
- Training a new marketing hire on funnel best practices
- Conducting quarterly funnel health checks
This workflow is based on the Funnel Master framework documented in
