      Cheers. Such a high leverage skill. For example imagne taking conversion from 2% to 4% just from improving landing page copy. Much easier than doubling traffic!

    Hey Harry - love the simplicity of this. What do you think of the problem-focused approach to writing landing page copy from this Indie Hackers guide?

      it's good. deserves more upvotes haha!

    Nice little formula, I'll keep it in mind when talking about features and benefits. Thanks for sharing :)
