  1. Another great post, Sonia! Although I’m reasonable new to the online marketing world, I owned a brick-and-mortar business for 20 years where the same rules applied. What you’ve shared are true and right as rain! Thanks for sharing this excellent checklist!

    • Thanks Jane!

      I’m always suspicious of anything that works for online marketing that wouldn’t work in brick-and-mortar. Some things are different (attention spans, cost of scaling communication), but customers tend to have the same underlying wants and needs and drives they always did. πŸ™‚

  2. Wow! This one article taught me more about writing better copy than anything I’ve read in last few days.I’ll make sure I apply the 5 minutes feature-benefit check to my landing pages from now.

    Instead of –

    Our rigorously crash tested helmets protects your head better. It makes your rides safer so you can enjoy the long rides without any worry.
