Most entrepreneurs think good copy comes from clever words or flashy headlines. But when experienced copywriters look at a sales letter, they often focus on something much smaller… and much more important. A few lines in the wrong place can kill momentum, make your message feel repetitive, and quietly lose the sale before the prospect ever reaches the offer.
In this clip from his Simple Writing System, John Carlton breaks down how strong bullets pull people deeper into your copy — and why most writers completely overdo them. Along the way, he shares a few simple insights that can instantly make your writing tighter, more persuasive, and far more interesting to read.
