In my journey as a copywriting coach, I've always stressed the importance of developing an intuitive understanding of the craft to my students.

This 'sixth sense' isn't some mystical attribute; it is heightened awareness refined over time through experience, observation, and focused practice.

Take this as an example: early in my career, I was assigned a challenging project for The Retirement Letter. It was intimidating, and initially, I found myself second-guessing every word. But as I began to trust my intuition, the words began to fall naturally into place.

The result?

One of the publishing world's most successful direct mail promotions of the 1990s, generating millions of dollars and yielding over $250K in royalties for me.

This is what I mean when I refer to the sixth sense - an instinctual grasp of the right words, the right tone, and the right message.

Developing this intuition isn't an overnight process. It's a journey that requires dedication and determination. You have to immerse yourself fully in the writing and then your insights guide you.

Kevin, one of my best students, is a perfect example of this transformation. Initially timid, he evolved over time into a confident writer, unafraid to dive headfirst into complex projects and deliver compelling copy with impressive speed.

But this transformative process extends beyond your professional sphere.

As your confidence grows and your skills sharpen, you'll notice improvements permeating all areas of your life. You'll face challenges with resilience and a renewed spirit, supported by your proven ability to connect and persuade through words.

As a writer, you evolve beyond the mundane; you become a vessel for thoughts and emotions, capable of distilling complex ideas into engaging narratives.

This is where you want to be.

Another student, Sean, demonstrated this skillfully when he tackled a complex investment newsletter video sales letter in just nine days! Sean translated intricate investment jargon into an engaging, easily understood narrative that inspired readers, sold thousands of subscriptions, and earned him $90,000 in royalties.

That's the power your "sixth sense" for copywriting bestows upon you.

As you'll discover, every sentence you craft brings you closer to this intuitive understanding.

The true magic lies not just in the words you write but also in the journey you undertake along the way.

MY ADVICE:

Don't limit yourself to becoming a better writer.

Aim to nurture that sixth sense for copywriting, and embrace the transformation that comes with it. Each word written brings you one step closer to mastery of your craft and the sixth sense that comes with it.

All good wishes,

Doug D'Anna
