Toolbox by Copywork365

Liking the daily exercise?
Wait till you see this.

Toolbox is your swipe file on roids.

It’s a database of world-class excerpts just like the ones we cover right here on the daily.

Browse through hundreds of pieces (and growing!) spanning ad copy, webpage copy, and literature.

Each and every one comes with granular analysis on what makes everything tick and why it works.

All the tools, techniques, and psychology we touch on here, but in their full depth. Making it even easier to master these “devices” and apply them to your persuasive writing. And filtering by author or brand means you can steal the secret sauce from your very favorite writers, copywriters, and brands.

So if you’re looking to level up with a forever resource, I’ve got a forever deal for you.

Join the waitlist to get lifetime access for a single flat fee — when Toolbox launches.

Oh and I really do mean lifetime.

Even if the internet ceases to exist. I’ll work day and night to ensure you receive a physical book copy. Hell, clay tablets, if it gets that bad 😅.

Even when it’s 100’s of thousands of excerpts. Pinky promise.

Another good “If you were...” Ad from Rolex

If you were working here tomorrow you’d wear a Rolex.

It takes a special kind of stamina to spend prolonged lengths of time deep under water. Stamina in a watch, no less than in a man.

So when Dr. Joseph B. MacInnis, the creator of Sublimnos scientific experiment in Georgian Bay, goes down, the watch he depends on is a Rolex Submariner.

It’s a big, tough watch.

Its classic Oyster case is carved out of a solid block of hardened Swedish stainless steel. Inside the solid pressure proof walls is a 26-jewel self-winding movement.

So painstakinginly accurate is the workmanship that every Rolex Oyster takes more than a year to make. Dr. Joseph B. MacInnis and divers the world over think it’s time well spent.

The Rolex Submariner, with matching bracelet, costs $210. 🏁

  • Longer sentences to illustrate, shorter to punctuate. “It’s a big, tough watch.”

  • The lone number stands out here. Specificity for stickiness: 26-jewel.

  • Strategic passive voice to create sturdier claims. “Is” is much more set in stone than “We do so and so this way.” “Well, do you actually?” is the instant reply. But not the case with “is.”
