77: How to use the PAS copywriting formula to sell more (without sounding douchey)

See this content in the original post

As a podcast dedicated to sharing copywriting formulas, it’s a wonder I have made it this far without sharing the formula I’m sharing today. This may be the most famous, most well-known, and most-used copywriting formula of all time.

Of course, I’m talking about PAS - problem, agitation, solution.

If you hop into any copywriting community, read any copywriting book, or join any copywriting course and search for formulas and frameworks, this formula is guaranteed to show up.

It's a classic, proven formula, but it can be a little problematic.

So in this episode of ill communication, I'm going to share a modern and sophisticated approach to using the PAS formula in your sales copy.


Topics We Cover in This Episode:

  • What this formula is and how it works in your copy

  • Why this formula is so impactful- when done right

  • My ethical approach to using this formula to sell your offers

  • Which audiences this is best suited for


I hope you enjoyed learning about my sophisticated twist on this classic copywriting formula.

If you haven't tried using it before, give it a go in your next sales email, Facebook ad, or video sales script. And if you do like using PAS, add the O- outcome section to it the next time you use it!
