One of my favorite copywriting techniques is an oldie, but goodie.

It’s called the 4P’s, and it stands for:

• Promise
• Picture
• Proof
• Push

Here’s how I used it to create a Twitter thread that led to 600+ newsletter subscribers in just 24 hours.

Make a PROMISE:

I open the Twitter thread by making a bold promise to deliver information that I know my readers will enjoy.

Paint a PICTURE:

Having a 6-figure side hustle for just $19 is a bold promise.

But what can the reader expect to learn? What skills? What are the benefits?

I want to spell those out so the reader can picture themselves reaping the benefits of my promise.

Show Your PROOF:

Once I’ve made a promise and painted a picture, I use the rest of the thread to prove my value.

To show the reader that I know exactly what I’m talking about.

PUSH the Reader to Act:

Having proven my value to the reader, I’m now in a position to push them to act.

So, I do.

I position my newsletter as the logical next step to get more relevant guidance for their business.

And with 600+ new subscribers that day, I’d say it worked.

That’s all for today.

See you next Saturday.
