Apple, Nike, Coca Cola. 3 legendary companies. 1 common marketing trait: Great copywriting. Here are 10 copywriting tips to help you master marketing:

Your customers’ feedback about what’s most painful & frustrating about your product is typically a lot more trustworthy than their take on what new features you should build.

In our endless chase of objectivity & numbers in product work, it is quite easy to miss that almost every product we use & love was created due to a subjective insight followed by a creative leap by one person (or a tiny team), and then followed by even more creative execution.

When you describe what your startup does, describe it in the most matter of fact way possible. Professional investors hate having to decode marketing-speak. Describing your startup in grandiose terms is the mark of a noob.

When some senior leaders join a team, they think that the previous leaders & team must be idiots because “Look at all the problems here”, often not realizing that it took extraordinary effort & insight to even get to the stage where it became necessary to hire said senior leader.
