The Copywriter’s Guide to Buyer Persona

•••THREAD•••

1. Define a Background

For this thread we will be selling Mass Gainer protein shakes to college men that want to gain weight.

Go deep and make a full profile up of one of these people.

You want to include:
> age
> job
> what they do in free time
> what they’re feeling
Example:

Brad is a junior in college (21 years old). He does work during the week and parties on the weekends.

He started going to the gym with his friends but isn’t really seeing results. He’s starting to get frustrated and wants to find a cure to his problems.
2. Define Their Goals and Challenges

When you define these things, you can use them in your copy.

Painting your ideal customer’s pain points throughout your copy is important.

You need to show them that they have a problem, and you can solve.
Example:

Brad is fairly skinny and wants to gain weight fast.

He’s tried eating more but can’t eat enough, or maybe he eats the wrong things.

Whatever it might be, it’s not working and he’s getting frustrated.
3. Quotes and Objections

Quotes you can find in the review section of most products. People talk about how they couldn’t do XYZ but can now because of this product.

Objections are what your audience can use as an excuse. There are a lot of basic objections that you can address.
Example:

“I used to not be able to gain weight until I bought {mass gainer}”
“I wasn’t getting enough calories or protein in my diet so I bought {mass gainer}”
Basic Objection List

> I don’t have time
> it’s too expensive
> does it work?
> is there a money back guarantee?
> what’s different from competitors?
> I don’t trust it
> doesn’t seem that important to me
> is it healthy?
> how much should I take?

Brad has all of these and more
4. The Application

Now you need to apply these ideas throughout your copy.

> Write a headline directed at Brad
Ex: “How College Men Are Gaining Weight Fast!”

> Handle objections throughout copy and again in FAQ section
Ex: “To gain weight you only need one protein shake a day!
> Paint their challenges throughout

Ex: “Chances are you’re trying to eat anything and everything right now and not gaining weight. You’re tired of being skinny and want to change that now.”

> Put in quotes from before and after people tried out the product
Most copywriters don’t take the time to do their research.

The content they produce shows just that.

Find their problems and present the solution.

Kill your next sale.

More from Education

An appallingly tardy response to such an important element of reading - apologies. The growing recognition of fluency as the crucial developmental area for primary education is certainly encouraging helping us move away from the obsession with reading comprehension tests.


It is, as you suggest, a nuanced pedagogy with the tripartite algorithm of rate, accuracy and prosody at times conflating the landscape and often leading to an educational shrug of the shoulders, a convenient abdication of responsibility and a return to comprehension 'skills'.

Taking each element separately (but not hierarchically) may be helpful but always remembering that for fluency they occur simultaneously (not dissimilar to sentence structure, text structure and rhetoric in fluent writing).

Rate, or words-read-per-minute, is the easiest. Faster reading speeds are EVIDENCE of fluency development but attempting to 'teach' children(or anyone) to read faster is fallacious (Carver, 1985) and will result in processing deficit which in young readers will be catastrophic.

Reading rate is dependent upon eye-movements and cognitive processing development along with orthographic development (more on this later).
