The best place to learn about content
... it’s not online

Monday, November 25
There's a secret weapon most marketers are ignoring.
Magazines.
Wait, did I just say magazines?
Yep.
In our digital age, flipping through glossy pages might seem old school. But here’s the deal:
Magazines are crafted by world-class copywriters.
These pros know exactly how to grab your attention when you're not even looking.
Think about it.
You're in a waiting room, bored out of your mind, and next thing you know, you're deeply engrossed in an article you never planned to read.
Or you’re shopping in the grocery store, and magazines are still able to grab your attention.
That’s no accident.
Why Should You Care?
Because attention is everything.
In a crowded market where everyone is vying for clicks, likes, and shares, knowing how to stop someone in their tracks is pure gold.
These magazine writers have been perfecting this art for decades.
And you can tap into it.
Next time you're out, grab a magazine that interests you—or even one that doesn’t.
Dissect the Headlines. What makes them pop?
How do they make you want to read more?
Jot down patterns and phrases that catch your eye.
Take these techniques and weave them into your own marketing.
Don’t underestimate the power of tried-and-true methods.
Magazines may seem old-fashioned, but they're treasure troves of marketing wisdom.
You'll be amazed at what you discover.
Until next time,
Ephraim
