The document provides tips for writing more persuasive copy, including avoiding filler phrases like "excellent customer service", superlatives like "the best", vague descriptions, passive voice, addressing readers as a crowd, jargon, multiple adjectives, and sugary testimonials. It recommends using sensory words, focusing on benefits and problems solved, mentioning objections overcome, focusing on the reader's needs, asking questions, telling stories with examples, and making calls-to-action direct. The goal is to appeal directly to the reader and their needs rather than using empty phrases.
