FULL TRANSCRIPT

00:00
imagine if you could get all of your
00:01
website visitors to hang on your every
00:03
word if every click from Google were to
00:06
stick in every visitor effortlessly
00:09
converted themselves into loyal fans or
00:11
customers all while your search traffic
00:14
continues to grow that might feel
00:17
impossible right now
00:18
but I’m going to share 8 SEO copywriting
00:20
hacks that will help you do exactly that
00:23
I’m also going to introduce you to one
00:25
of my most powerful personal copywriting
00:27
techniques that you cannot find anywhere
00:30
else but first do you know what’s really
00:33
amazing about human psychology is that
00:36
we always want answers to questions even
00:39
if we have to wait a moment first do you
00:41
know why it’s because our subconscious
00:44
is programmed to find closure and that
00:47
kind of keeps us hooked until we do I’ll
00:50
tell you how to take full advantage of
00:51
that psychological flaw by creating open
00:54
loops in a moment this is a powerful way
00:57
to keep people engaged but first I want
01:00
you to understand that if you start your
01:02
content with a question people will
01:04
naturally be hooked in you can use
01:06
specific questions like are you
01:09
struggling to lose weight or something
01:11
more simple like it sounds crazy right
01:13
opening with a question will keep people
01:16
hooked from the very first sentence
01:18
because we are psychologically
01:20
structured to be like that the second
01:23
SEO copywriting hack I like to use is
01:25
the bridge model it’s a brilliant way to
01:27
keep people reading and you can execute
01:30
it in three simple steps first you need
01:33
to talk about the desired situation or
01:35
where the reader wants to be next you
01:38
talk about the current situation or
01:40
where they are right now to bring them
01:42
down back to earth and finally you offer
01:45
a bridge between the current situation
01:47
in the desired situation if we jump over
01:50
to the full SEO copywriting post on my
01:52
blog you can see how I applied this
01:54
method in the intro first we talk about
01:57
the desired situation to keep people
02:00
engaged then we talk about the current
02:03
situation and where they are now right
02:05
before delivering the bridge to help
02:08
people reach their desired situation I
02:10
also did the same thing at the start of
02:12
this vid
02:13
if you’re paying attention next I want
02:15
to talk to you about open loops which
02:18
are one of the most powerful ways to
02:20
keep people engaged I’m gonna show you
02:22
how they work in a moment but first
02:24
remember how open in your content with a
02:26
question keeps people hooked in that is
02:29
because they need closure with an answer
02:32
and you can create open loops within
02:35
your content that takes advantage of the
02:37
same psychological principle first UTS
02:41
readers with something that they want
02:43
and then you delay giving it to them
02:45
take a look at the intro of this seok
02:48
study post for example I show them the
02:50
results before opening a loop of how we
02:52
did it which forces them to scroll down
02:55
the page to close the loop but the more
02:58
that they scroll the more open loops
03:00
that they will find like this one or
03:02
this one where I tease the full link
03:05
building strategy later and if you
03:07
didn’t notice I created an open loop
03:10
about open loops earlier in this video
03:12
I’ll tell you how to take full advantage
03:15
of that psychological flaw by creating
03:17
open loops in a moment this is a
03:20
powerful way to keep people engaged but
03:23
first I want you to understand that and
03:25
as we just close that loop with this
03:27
section of the video now it’s a good
03:29
time to tell you that wasn’t even the
03:31
coolest trick in this video in fact the
03:34
best trick goes against everything you
03:36
have ever heard before but I’m saving
03:40
that to last for now let’s talk about
03:42
why you shouldn’t save the best till
03:45
last in school you will probably taught
03:47
that good writing builds up to an
03:49
amazing ending you create a beginning a
03:52
middle and an end
03:54
but it’s all about that amazing ending
03:56
the problem with writing for the web is
03:59
lessened 30% of people are going to
04:02
scroll down to your amazing ending so
04:04
you need to start with your most amazing
04:07
content rather than ending with for
04:09
example with my case study post I
04:12
started by showing the results or the
04:14
end first but under traditional writing
04:18
rules
04:18
I should have only showed that at the
04:20
end instead I’m using the end to hook
04:23
people in at the start rather
04:26
saving the best to last next we need to
04:29
make sure that skin readers are hooked
04:31
in and the way we do that is by writing
04:33
tantalizing headings and subheadings
04:35
that keep people moving down your
04:37
content and I’m going to show you how to
04:39
double down on that advantage in a
04:42
moment but first I want you to
04:44
understand that you should be using
04:46
subheadings to sell people on that
04:48
section of your content for example if I
04:52
want you to replace a bike chain I might
04:54
look at this page where they used
04:56
different steps of the process in
04:58
headers to keep me scrolling down or you
05:02
can get more creative with your
05:03
subheadings and use them to tell a story
05:05
you might create an article called how
05:08
to relocate to another country and then
05:10
use different subheadings to tell the
05:12
story then just by reading the
05:15
subheadings people can get a solid grasp
05:17
of this story and each heading serves as
05:19
an opportunity to catch skin reader’s
05:22
attention and pull them in to your
05:24
writing you could even spice it up a
05:26
little for example you might write
05:28
something like how coffee saved my life
05:31
and then break it down into tantalizing
05:34
subheadings that are designed to tell
05:35
your story while increasing the chances
05:38
of catching skin reader’s attention and
05:41
hooking them in once you’ve upgraded
05:43
your subheadings we can double down with
05:46
hack number six a table of contents you
05:49
might have seen these at the start of my
05:51
posts and I’ll show you how to add your
05:53
own table of contents in a minute
05:55
first I want you to understand how
05:58
powerful they are the first thing that
06:00
they do is increase your visibility in
06:02
search results by adding extra links to
06:05
all of those tantalizing headers you’ve
06:07
written which in turn helps you increase
06:10
your click-through rate from Google
06:12
secondly this table presents additional
06:15
opportunities to tease and hook people
06:17
into your content from the start all you
06:20
need to do is install a free plugin like
06:22
table of contents Plus which will take
06:25
care of the heavy lifting for you and
06:27
that brings me on to hack number seven
06:30
which is to use power words to create
06:32
emotions in invoke up
06:34
if that sounds confusing then just find
06:37
the links under the video to these two
06:38
books which are jam-packed with power
06:41
words broken down by description and
06:43
benefit for example if you want to write
06:46
a romantic copy you could just flick to
06:48
this page for ideas these books are set
06:51
on my desk and also include a bunch of
06:53
extra copywriting tips and structures
06:56
and much more for your quick reference
06:58
but the most important SEO copywriting
07:01
hack of all is to optimize for something
07:03
that I call attention efficiency which
07:06
basically means you say more with less
07:09
you see where most people are looking to
07:11
increase their word count I’m actively
07:13
trying to reduce my word count during
07:15
editing why because we live in a
07:18
fast-paced world that’s full of
07:20
distractions so people’s attention comes
07:22
at a premium and once I have someone’s
07:25
attention I like to make sure they get
07:27
as much of value for their attention as
07:30
possible that means people can consume
07:33
more of my content in less time and it
07:35
also means that they learn quicker as
07:37
well you’ll rarely see me use more than
07:40
two sentences in a paragraph and that is
07:42
by design look at this sentence for
07:45
example I was able to reduce it from 26
07:48
words to 16 words while saying the same
07:50
thing that’s a 40% increase in attention
07:54
efficiency and I actively optimized
07:56
every piece of content for that before I
07:59
hit publish it’s all about packing in as
08:03
much quality with as few words as
08:05
possible and your readers will love you
08:07
for it in fact I’ve got a challenge for
08:09
you I want you to pick one of your most
08:11
popular pages and then optimize it with
08:14
these SEO copywriting hacks in mind it
08:17
won’t take long for you to do but you’ll
08:19
see the benefits almost immediately and
