Is there Good Copywriting software?

[jrasset7]

recently I was listening to a podcast where a software was briefly mentioned
that allowed you to construct copy within the program.

I listen to SO many podcasts and I just can't recall which it was.

Does anyone know of decent, low cost (say under $100) that would do something like this.

I have checked out Scribe by Copyblogger and noticed that they used to recommend one in particular.

I guess I am mostly curious if anyone knows the exact one I recently heard since there is a good chance that others have heard the same show.

Thanks

Here's the bad news...

Top pro copywriters don't use software to write copy.

Since that is the case, why would you want to model mediocrity?

Burpies by Brett is good. I mean, for an automated product. You won't get a killer letter but you'll end up with a good structure you can build on.

Of course you need the right info to feed it with. But if software is what you want then this is the one to get.

Your hands are the best software. Use them)

Thanks for the replies..

I really have no use for it right now..and I do plan on learning copywriting, I should say
practicing as I have been reading about it for years but never really "done" anything yet.

The product mentioned was sort of an advising program, type this in and you get corrections or recommendation. I believe you have to have an idea of what your doing for this to be effective. Also, I would assume if I am only mediocre right now... I need all the help I could get.
Basically, I just like investigating these things and putting the ideas away for when I need them.
Thanks for the tips.

Here you go. Play with this. It is onlin, and it is free. Is it accurate? I haven't a clue, but it is addictive.

Okay, now I've got it... http://www.aminstitute.com/headline/index.htm

The only copywriting software I've ever been able to get any good use out of us the mushy grey mater between my ears.

There's an app for that...

...Oh wait, it hasn't come out yet.

Not sure when it will either.

In the meantime, how about manufacturing some originality.

I hear you can access it (originality) through the cerebral cortex...

...you know, where consciousness supposedly originates...

...not sure though.

Anyways...

...Good luck attempting to position yourself in the marketplace with generic content.

Cheers!

P.S. Sorry, I had to... I mean, seriously! Who goes on a copywriting forum and takes a big... ah... never mind.

Ok

This was just one of the things I had to "remember" or else go crazy! lol

Kinda like when you lose your phone or keys...

So it was or is rather, Fast Effective Copy by David Garfinkel

It was mentioned in the Dishy Mix podcast with Susan Bratton..

Looks interesting but a little steep and price.. and I agree you probably

can't replace using your own mind and skills. Of course, it's tempting to see what it all does though.

Hi there,

Fast Effective Copy is not software. It's a whole membership site powered by David's seminal copywriting course, "Copywriting Templates".

As for "steep", bear in mind Copywriting Templates was a $1,200 physical product that included 20+ discs and three 2 1/2 inch binders of transcripts and training materials - along with the complete set of templates.

You can join Fast Effective Copy for 3 payments of $97 - supremely inexpensive from my perspective, but I'm totally biased.

We'd love to have you,

Brian McLeod

Brian,

thanks for the info..

Fast Effective Copy does look like a good value, not to mention the sales page has

Good Copy!

Although, I don't need it yet and I will probably never be a "great" copywriter.. (but, you never know )

thus having

some eventual need to outsource.

I can see the benefits of learning and taking advantage of some training like this.

Copywriting has always been a fascinating subject, I think for a lot of people, but

when it comes down to it , putting in the hard work can be difficult, I think the key word for me is "focus"

Just took a peek at the Burpies by Brett website, and it looks interesting. I bookmarked it to take a deeper look a little later.

There surely can't be software for everything out there. Copywriting is tough enough without adding other people's software in the mix.

Just understand the problem from the point of view of the buyer then offer the solution. If you are good with words, synonyms and story telling then you are on track. Can't remember seeing any software that is good in storytelling.
