It is commonly recommended that when you start a copywriting job, you interview your client to figure out exactly what he wants you to write about. But an overlooked method is the self-interview, which you can apply if you write copy for your own product or even if you are writing it for someone else.

Interviews can inspire your copywriting because people love to read conversations. Turn on the TV or listen to talk radio, what are people doing? Talking to one another. Visit a friend's house, what do you do? You talk to each other?

How Do Article Directories Help You With Headlines?

How Does Digg Help You Find Good Headlines?

Digg is a social bookmarking site that Internet surfers use to share URLs of obscure news items or funny videos. Once a URL is posted, people can vote for a story, so when you read a new item that's on the front page of Digg, you know it's worthwhile because lots of people have voted it up. Fortunately for you as a copywriter, you can use Digg to inspire some really great headlines.

I had a copywriting friend who was asked...

What we are talking about here is standing on the shoulders of giants. The ads you see every minute, from television commercials to posters and billboard ads, to junk you receive in the mail, were...
