200: Oxford Comma Obsession - Quick Copy Tip

4 examples to convince you once-and-for-all that the Oxford comma is non-negotiable. Today, let's talk about a nerdy debate that continues to rage. But, my dear listeners...there is only ONE CORRECT answer to question… "Oxford comma or not?" ----- PRODUCT SHOUT OUT ----- I use the Owlet Sock to keep track of my 3-month-year-old's heart rate and oxygen level as he naps and sleeps. It's a game-changer as a new parent! Lifehack. :) ---------------------------------------- What is the Oxford Comma anyway? Another name for it is the serial comma. It's when you put a comma before the and in a list of 3 or more things. For example, "I love the movies Die Hard [comma] Just Go With It [comma] and Independence Day." Should I use it? Yes. Always. Why? The short answer is because it's more clear. Some argue it's a stylistic choice and to 'just be consistent in your usage.' Okay, fair enough. But, there is no denying that writing with the extra comma is more clear! Here are 4 examples to convince you. 1. How many seats at the table do we need? • Without the Oxford Comma: "I ate lunch with my grandparents, Liz and Kyle."• With the Oxford Comma: "I ate lunch with my grandparents, Liz, and Kyle." When you hear this statement, how many seats at the table do you think we need? Well, WITHOUT the Oxford Comma, we could need 3 seats or 5! What do I mean? Without the extra comma, I COULD be naming my grandparents as Liz and Kyle. Therefore, we'd need 3 seats...one for me, and two for my grandparents (whose names are Liz and Kyle. Or, I COULD be naming my grandparents and two additional people named Liz and Kyle (who happen to be the names of my favorite cousin and his wife). Therefore, we'd need seats for my grandparents, Liz, Kyle, and me...that's 5. Therefore, if -- as in this case -- Liz and Kyle are not the names of my grandparents an Oxford comma is essential to make that clear. 2. Are JFK and Stalin stripping again? There's a funny meme image that goes around that reads, "We invited the strippers, JFK, and Stalin to the party." And it is accompanied by two images...one with the Oxford comma showing 2 female strippers, JFK, and Stalin (so 4 people) and another without the comma showing JFK and Stalin as strippers (2 people). 3. Can you even talk to toast? I'll include it and the stripper image in the shownotes!...is "I had eggs, toast, and OJ." With the serial comma, it shows you are naming 3 things you had for breakfast. Without the serial comma, it is as if you are saying "I had eggs" TO toast and orange juice...like toast and orange juice are a person you are talking to about your breakfast. Long story short, there is no denying that the Oxford comma makes your writing more clear. And isn't that an element of what makes our copy pop? What makes it compelling? We want to be clear and understood! I can tell you that when I read lists without the Oxford comma I spend too much time trying to figure out the intended meaning and get annoyed by the author. If I do that, I am not alone. (There are lots of writing nerds out there -- let's start a club...we'll meet on Thursdays ;)). So, don't annoy your nerdy audience...use the Oxford comma and be crystal clear. Okay, I think there are still some folks unconvinced...who cares about being crrryyyystal clear if it requires extra punctuation!? 4. The $5 million dollar comma One final example for you... Not using the Oxford comma could cost you $5 million! Take Oakhurst Dairy and their shipping department — there was an overtime dispute between the company and its drivers. And the whole thing hinged on the lack of an Oxford comma! According to a History 101.com article entitled "30 of the most expensive mistakes in history"... "Lawyers representing the drivers argued that a sentence in a contract the employees all signed needed the oxford comma to clarify that overtime pay was forfeited in a specific situation. "That comma would have sunk our ship," the drivers' attorney David G. Webbert told the New York Times. The company settled the lawsuit by paying the drivers a total of $5 million. That's one expensive comma!" ---------- Noooowwww are you convinced?? That's it my nerdy copy compadres! Remember that the Oxford comma is more clear and cost-effective! :-P Talk again next time when we'll find more ways together to write copy that pops! :) Take Action Now on Your Bestselling Book!

Food Heals: Physical, Emotional and Spiritual Stories to Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Health is available now on Amazon! Plus, this book includes 39 additional stories of overcoming chronic and degenerative diseases by influencers in the health and wellness space plus everyday people just like you and me.

I hope these help you too on your journey. Listen to the episode above to hear more about each: Customers cannot buy the Kindle book from the Kindle or Amazon app...you have to purchase it from Amazon.com directly and then you can open and read it inside the app afterward (why? because Apple collects a percentage of the money spent on digital purchases within apps on its devices, and Amazon is not okay with that) Amazon has changed, yet again, how to reach out to tech support -- my hack that I teach my students in the Accelerator [copythatpops.com/accelerator] for how to get up to 10 categories they can rank well in. Now you put in your phone number for tech support to call you back. Book design contests for your artwork is a fun process and great way to do "A" Attraction-Based Marketing. I use 99 Designs [copythatpops.com/99designs] and have a contest going now for a Book That Pops book! Allison used it too and her book is striking!

192: Emotional Marketing Value Headline Analyzer for Entrepreneurs Who Want to Make an Impact - Quick Copy Tip

True or false: 1. Reaching your customers in a deep and emotional way is a key to successful copywriting 2. Your headline is unquestionably the most important piece of copy you use to reach prospects Answer: True to both! But how can you improve on this? There's a free tool out there that I discovered! It's called the Emotional Marketing Value Headline Analyzer from the Advanced Marketing Institute. The URL for it isn't the easiest to say over a podcast, so I made a short link redirect to it for you… Type in CopyThatPops.com/analyzer...And it will shoot you over to the Headline Analyzer! Once there, all you have to do is: 1. paste in the headline you are thinking to use for your blog article, podcast episode, book title, or video title 2. Select the category your business industry falls under 3. Click "Submit for analysis" And it will analyze and score your headline based on the total number of EMV words it has in relation to the total number of words it contains. This will determine the EMV score of your headline. In addition to the EMV score, You will find out which emotion inside your customer's your headline most impacts: How about an example? Well, I thought about simply titling this podcast as "Emotional Marketing Value Headline Analyzer" When I plugged that in, it gave it a score of 60% and said to put that in perspective, the English language contains approximately 20% EMV words. And for comparison, most professional copywriters' headlines will have 30%-40% EMV Words in their headlines, while the most gifted copywriters will have 50%-75% EMV words in headlines. A perfect score would be 100%, but that is rare unless your headline is less than five words. While the overall EMV score for your headline is 60.00%, your headline also has the following predominant emotion classification: I cannot take any credit since I just used the name of the tool as the title! :-P To test, I added "for Entrepreneurs Who Want to Make an Impact" at the end of it and the score came out as 53.85% with a stronger "Empathetic" and "Spiritual" rating, rather than a balance of all three. Still a strong score. --- For fun, I then put in the title of my first book: Copywriting for Podcasters: How to Grow Your Podcast, Brand, and Business with Compelling Copy And got 21.43% with a balance of the three. My second book Permission to Write a Brand Building Book: For Podcasters - 9 Myths Holding You Back from More Exposure and Making a Greater Impact Faired even lower with 10% and only hitting the Spiritual side! Okay, how about Gary Vee's most recent book? Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence—and How You Can, Too He scored 26.67% and was full Spiritual. What about Brene Brown's book? Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. That scored 44.44% and was full Empathetic. Okay, what about something other than a book title? The top headline on my website CopyThatPops.com right now is "You need a book." How does that score? 50%! Not too bad...with a mix of Intellectual and Spiritual. Fascinating! What about the top headline on my free resources page copythatpops.com/free which reads "Become a Bestselling Author" Eek! That got a 0% and is rated as neutral! What if I tweak it to… "Achieve Bestselling Author Status"? Okay...that's now 25% and purely Intellectual appealing, it says. What about…"Achieve Bestselling Author Status & Reap Rewards"? Okay, even better...that's up to 50%...and still Intellectual focused. I like it. From this exercise for this podcast, I am updating the headline on my page at copythatpops.com/free ...I hope it gets me more email opt-ins and leads! Now it's your turn! Head over there to play around with it and tweak your headlines to get the right score and balance you'd like to test with your next piece of copy or title.
