One of the most insightful books I’ve ever come across with “Scientific Advertising” by Claude Hopkins.

It’s a must read though here are some key takeaways for ya’ll.

But remember… if you found something helpful, put it into practice right away.

This way, you can reap the benefits later on with the power of consistency:

• 1. Test and iterate - Constantly test ideas on a small scale and improve based on results. Small tests can save a lot of money.

  2. Understand your customers - Put yourself in their shoes. Appeal to their self-interest. 

  3. Focus on benefits - Ads should highlight benefits to the customer rather than just naming the product.

  4. Tell a story - The most effective ads tell a compelling story to the reader.
  
  5. Compile proven ideas - Hopkins focused on techniques that were proven to work through testing.
  
  6. Theory vs practice - Focus on real world application rather than theoretical ideas.
  
  7. Golden Nugget - Check out Swipe files where one compiles the best ads ever published
