The idea of picking something very short that you know you can do when you’re having trouble getting started with copy is very effective.

I would add try writing…

1. The opening line.

2. A 1-2 sentence paragraph explaining why the person giving the information in this sales letter is uniquely qualified to give it.

3. The P.S.

4. The subhead

5. Edit testimonials.

6. Write 3 bullets for a bonus that comes with the product or service.

7. Write a price comparison - this product or service compared to much more expensive solutions to the problem it solves.

Etc.

Having a template you use to write your copy from helps enormously to pick out small elements you can get started on.

Also once you get writing it’s very easy to keep rolling.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh
