Day 67: Master Copywriting: The SUCKS Framework by Kieran Drew (Part 1/10)
by Nishtar

Most writing advice is overcomplicated.

All you need is a simple framework to captivate your readers from the first word.

The SUCKS Framework is built to do exactly that, keeping your audience hooked from start to finish.

Here are the 8 elements of the checklist:

Specificity

  • Does this follow the Rule of One?

  • Can I quantify it?

Unique and Useful

  • Does this change how my One True Fan thinks, feels or acts?

  • Have I written from personal perspective?

  • Can I include a framework?

Undeniable

  • Can I add more proof (authority by association, my story, or my clients)?

Clear

  • Who is this for?

  • What do they get?

Curious

  • Have I tapped into their problems and desires?

  • Can I use a surprising statistic, fact or statement?

  • Do I open loops?

  • Can I share a story?

Conversational

  • Am I speaking to a friend?

  • Can I use the work 'you' more?

Keep it Simple

  • Can I say this in less (remove the fluff)?

  • Is this grade 4 or less (use Hemingway)?

Structured

  • Is this skimmable?

  • Is it a slippery slide?

  • Does it sound good when I read it out loud?

The all-in-one writing platform.

Write, publish everywhere, see what works, and become a better writer - all in one place.
