Description
Using psychology, emotion, and a pinch of neuroscience, Andy Maslen, an experienced copywriter and marketer, presents 25 psychological techniques, 125 words and phrases that trigger emotions, over 10 real-world case studies, 75 practical exercises, and a 125 question quiz to help practitioners and students who have already mastered the basics, write enjoyable, compelling copy which stands out in today's cluttered marketplace. Maslen covers topics such as: how to make spending money look like a privilege, the ancient Greek secret of emotionally engaging copy, when to use pictures instead of words, how to use the right tone of voice, and avoiding common copywriting traps.

Put simply, Persuasive Copywriting should be compulsory reading for anyone who writes anything."
--Jed Wylie, author of Make Your Website Sell
"I've been a fan of Andy Maslen's copywriting articles for many years. So when I read his new book Persuasive Copywriting, I had high expectations. I wasn't disappointed! The book is packed with practical ideas for writing authentic, response-getting copy. I particularly liked the science-based approach that underlines Andy's persuasive writing strategies... strategies which I'm already incorporating into my own writing."
--Steve Slaunwhite, author of The Wealthy Freelancer
"Persuasive Copywriting collects the secrets known only to professional writers and distills them into smart, clear advice. But keep all this to yourself; we don't want everyone knowing how to do it."
--Tim Rich, co-founder of writing association 26
"Andy knows more than most about selling with words. Now he's written a clear, comprehensive guide to the science and techniques behind powerfully persuasive copywriting. If becoming a much more effective writer in exchange for a few pounds and a day's reading sounds like a good deal to you, buy this book."
--Tom Albrighton, professional copywriter, founder of ABC Copywriting and co-founder of the Professional Copywriters’ Network
"Andy Maslen's latest book is his best so far - he takes his subject to a new level that, in my opinion, makes it a must-read for anyone who is interested in influencing, whether they are a writer or not . As a business owner and author who has read many books about writing and influencing I found this one particularly useful because it delves into understanding people first, writing for them second. It's an enjoyable read and one that I will keep going back to in my attempts to persuade and influence in writing."
--Sally Bibb, author and founder of Engaging Minds
"For the beginner or the established copywriter, this is a refreshing and up-to-date perspective on the emotion and craft of copywriting with handy tools and tips you'll reference in the next steps of your career."
--Vikki Ross, copywriting expert
