The Weekly Round Up #127

Published 15 days ago • 1 min read

Hey, friends –

It's hard to believe I've done this 127x already, but I have! Maybe there's something to say about the power of consistency.

Before I dive into what you can expect in the WRU this week, I wanted to fill you in on a 3 items:

  1. I completely blitzed The Edit this week. The bi-weekly cadence got away from me and my project tracker didn't fire, so without a task, I just plumb forgot. That's on me!
  2. There are still sponsorship slots available for both the WRU and The Edit. If you're interested or want to chat more about details, reply to this email.
  3. I just finished a new 70+ page resource for copywriters. About to put the finishing touches on it. If you're interested in learning more about it, just reply to this email, and I'll add you to the list.

Okay, that's it. Now onto what you can expect in this week's issue of the Weekly Round Up!

  • Copy Tip: Clarity = respect
  • AI Tip: Opus is your strategist. Sonnet is your workhorse.
  • Writing for Email: A Copywriter’s Accessibility Guide (via Action Rocket)

the edit | #3 The copywriting industry is having the wrong conversation.Not a bad one. Just the wrong one.Everyone's talking about hooks. Prompts. Output speed. Which AI tool writes the best subject lines. How to produce more content in less time with fewer people.And sure. That stuff matters at the margins.But here's what I keep coming back to: none of it is the actual differentiator.The writers I've watched plateau aren't slow. They're not bad at prompting. They're not behind on tools.They...
