My adventure with Iowa State University began long before I ever unpacked a suitcase in Larch Hall. In fact, the very first time I “visited” the campus, I barely visited it at all. It was more of a joyride with two of my brothers— Tom, and Dave — at a time in our lives when a drive across state lines counted as both exploration and entertainment. I was young, edging into adulthood, and they were all a few steps ahead of me, showing me what freedom looked like. Early in my senior year at high school I had narrowed my college choices to the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities, Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI, Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and Iowa State in Ames, IA. All great engineering schools. This would be my first college trip.

9 Elements of Copy
that Converts
Copywriting is the fuel that drives conversions. Whether you’re crafting an ad, a landing page, or an email campaign, the right words can make all the difference. Compelling copy isn’t merely about being appealing—it’s about leading your audience on a journey, addressing their needs, and inspiring them to take action. Without the right structure and persuasive techniques, even the best offers can be ignored.But let’s be honest—most people aren’t professional copywriters. So, how can you make sure your copy grabs attention, establishes trust, and boosts sales?
The infographic below will assist you in writing copy that converts. Here are the nine essential elements that distinguish mediocre copy from high-performing, profit-generating messaging:
Headlines that hook attention instantly
Subheadings that make content skimmable and digestible
Storytelling that resonates and builds trust
A Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that highlights what makes you stand out
A no-brainer offer that removes friction and objections
Social proof that creates credibility and trust
A strong, action-focused Call-to-Action (CTA)
Psychological triggers that influence buying decisions
Proven copywriting frameworks like AIDA & PAS for structure
Bonus Sales Tip:Instead of asking, “Why are you interested in this product or service?" consider rephrasing it to, “What happens if you don’t address this problem immediately?" This enables your audience to recognize the urgency of taking action.

My Last Week of High School
Most people remember their last week of senior year as a blur of finals, yearbook signatures, and the thrill of freedom just beyond the edge of graduation. I always thought mine would be the same. I pictured a week full of celebration, a little bit of mischief, and a slow fade into summer before heading off to college in the fall. But life had something different in mind for me. My final week as a senior at New Lisbon High School was not about parties, pranks, or planning the future. It was about survival, responsibility, fear, hope, and a kind of growing up that most 18-year-olds never have to face.
