High-quality content entices customers to buy.
Yet many entrepreneurs struggle to produce enough great copy themselves.
ChatGPT can help.
Landing pages convince visitors to convert. But writing effective copy is challenging.
With ChatGPT, you can instantly generate on-brand landing pages tailored to your products.
Use this mega-prompt to leverage the full power of ChatGPT for writing copy for your next landing page:
Using Russel Brunsons' "Hook-Story-Offer" framework, I want you to write a landing page text for me.
For context, [INSERT CONTEXT]
My backstory is: I used to be a [INSERT LOW POINT], then I found [YOUR PRODUCT / SOLUTION], and now I help others do the same / [YOUR OFFER]
My offer is: [INSERT OFFER]
___
When writing a text in the "Hook-Story-Offer" framework, this is important to consider:
1) The hook should catch the reader's attention through one of 3 ways: 1) Using curiosity (stick out from the crowd) 2) Show empathy by making a statement or posing a question relevant to the audience's inner fears and desires 3) Make a promise (that the offer later fulfils)
All good hooks keep the audience in mind.
2) The story should be short, action-packed, and extremely compelling. Each line should make the reader want to read the next.
3. The offer should be ridiculously compelling. (Use urgency, scarcity, decrease risk, increase perceived value)
4. Use an empathetic, persuasive but authentic tone of voice
For example, here is a sales email written with the Hook-Story-Offer framework:## Hook:
I don't think I've ever admitted this publicly, but...
## Story:
Not too long ago, I was a really freaking slow writer.
Most people can write a blog post in a day or two.
Me? I could only manage one or two a month.
It was embarrassing, but I thought it's just how I worked. Slow and steady.
One day though, I was talking to a buddy who's a professional novelist, and he mentioned how he wrote 15,000 words a day.
"Holy crap," I said. "That's a real gift."
"Not a gift," he told me. "I had to retrain myself how to write."
I asked him what he meant, and he showed me an entirely new way of writing that a lot of fiction writers are using. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try.
Within a week, I was writing a post within two days. A month after that, I was down to only four hours.
And we're not talking about quick, crappy writing, either. It was my usual quality.
## Offer:
Impressed, I created a little course teaching the system my friend taught me. I called it "Become a Writing Machine."
Normally, it's $49, but earlier today, I was looking through it and thinking,
'You know, this stuff really helped me. My buddy really did me a favor telling me about it."
So, I'll tell you what. Today, I'm going to "pay it forward" and do YOU a favor.
Just for a little while, I'm going to cut the price by 85%. You can grab the whole course for seven bucks.

I don't really make any profit at that price. Just break even, probably.
But I want more people to have it, so what the hell.
If you're a slow writer, take a look. It'll help you.
Talk soon,
Jon
As another example, hereās a different sales page written with the Hook-Story-Offer framework:
## Hook:
AGAIN.
You could have sworn that it was going to work this time.
You spent months building your product and countless hours trying to perfect it.
Then you launched.
You hit the big red button.
And so few people signed up that youāre wondering if maybe it was all a big mistake.
You canāt believe it didnāt work AGAIN.
This has happened in the past.
You just thought this time would be different.
We understand.
## Story: Just 5 short years ago, I launched a new company called ClickFunnels, and as the ānon-technicalā co founder who had no skills in coding, I wasnāt able to help create the software, but I knew my role.
When the cart opened on launch day, I needed to have a pipeline of people begging to sign up for their free trialā¦
And everyday after that, I needed to make sure I kept filling our funnels with our dream customers.
To do that, I had to learn how to get traffic from dozens of different sourcesā¦
I couldnāt rely on just Facebook, or just Google.
I had to learn how to do things differentlyā¦ I had to be smarter.
Five Years And Thousands Of Tests Laterā¦
That was 5 years agoā¦
During that time, we almost lost ClickFunnels.
We had a great product, but it was very hard to get people to know we even existed.
We tested everythingā¦
If someone said this would get us more traffic, we tested it, on our own dime.
Most of the things we tried didnāt workā¦
But a few of the things, the āREAL SECRETSā that did work started to compound on each other.
Each new secret would help us to tap into a new stream of our dream customers!
What seemed impossible before (getting a consistent flow of our dream customers into our funnels), was now a reality.
## Offer:
Hereās what I want to give you.
* 14 Days Free of ClickFunnels ($50)
* Training on Building Your First Sales Funnel ($500)
* Advanced Training on Building Sales Funnels That Convert ($1,000)
* One-On-One Training With a Sales Funnel Expert ($500)
* My Book on Building High-Converting Sales Funnels ($20)
But I know thatās expensive ā it comes to $2,070
And I want to make sure you feel like youāre getting a good deal.
So for TODAY ONLY, Iām offering it to you for $100.
(I canāt afford to keep this offer up for more than a day).
If you want to do it, now is the time.
And if you still arenāt sure, Iāll even offer a money-back guarantee so that Iām taking all the risk on my own shoulders.
Whatāve you got to lose?
Here's what IĀ got:
