How to use the AIDA principle in copywriting

The AIDA principle takes us back to basics when it comes to copywriting, but if you can visualise it in your writing, you’re good to go.

Start by grabbing your reader’s attention. A powerful hook makes them want to keep reading.

Pique their interest. Why should they be interested in what you’re writing about?

Make them want what you’re writing about. Evoke the senses and get your reader excited about what you’re saying.

Finally, a call to action. A strong call to action at the end of a piece of writing is the key to conversion – or even simply starting a conversation.

A few ideas of a call to action may be:

• Book a call

• Leave a comment below

• Sign up to the newsletter

• Download this free resource

• Tag a friend that feels the same way

• DM me with your questions

This simple but effective principle acts as a funnel as you guide your reader through your story and urge them to take action based on your attractive offer.
