Length:
10 minutes

Cure your content of the "blahs" with words that paint a compelling picture. Why use "drop," for example, when you could use "plunge" or "slump"? Or "get" when "seize" and "pluck" are so much more vivid? By thinking in images, you can create vivid, interesting copy that engages your visitors.

In just 10 minutes, learn how to purge your writing of the everyday and replace it with the awe-inspiring. You'll learn how to write natural, engaging copy that is neither bloated nor wan. Plus, you'll discover how to best use analogies and data to make your copy shine.
