Description

How does the human brain adapt? What does this mean for our copy? Today’s study focuses on comparing the hippocampus of taxi drivers to a control group of non-taxi drivers. MRIs were given to both groups and the brain scans revealed a significant increase of grey matter in taxi drivers (specifically in the right and left hippocampus) in comparison to the control group. This study, for the first time, proved that growth of larger than average hippocampi was correlated with longer periods of time using that particular area in the brain.   We know that how memory works is complicated, so let’s apply that knowledge to our copy. First, figure out how to be known for the problem you solve. Second, make sure that the copy you write is known for the transformation it brings. Our brains have plasticity and they’re drawn to transformation, so show your prospects what the after state looks like.   If you’re not sure how to write for transformation in your copy, join me in my FREE How To Write Your Own 6-Figure Sales Page webinar on February 20, 2021.
