Together with The Copywriting Gig

Discover the shortcut to copywriting mastery in 4 minutes each week

Forget long-form copywriting.

Webinars, VSLs, and sales letters take forever to learn and even longer to master. If you want to level up your copywriting skills fast, focus on short-form copywriting instead.

Luckily, The Copywriting Gig is here to help you do exactly that.

Every Wednesday, you’ll get 1 short-form copywriting insight to help you write better ads, emails, and social content in just 4 minutes each week.

Making the Rounds

• FTC wants to ban Facebook from collecting data on those under 18. The move would put a major dent in Facebook’s ad business and ability to monetize minors, not to mention prevent the company from launching new products until a 3rd-party auditor reviews their privacy program for gaps.
  

• TikTok launches new ad format offering publishers 50% of ad revenue. The format, called Pulse Premiere, will let big publishers like Conde Nast, BuzzFeed, and NBC collect 50% of revenue from ads displayed directly before or after their content on the platform.
  

• Blue checks coming to a Gmail inbox near you. Who says social media platforms get to have all the fun? Google announced senders who’ve completed its brand verification process will be rewarded with a blue check in the inbox (and A+ deliverability, we’ll bet).
