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.


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 covered in this episode include:

  • 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


This is my modern, ethical twist on the famous copywriting formula and I can’t wait to hear what you think. Tune in now!
