Our minds are wired for pessimism which keeps us extra attentive to things that could negatively impact us.
This makes us respond to negations at higher rates than affirmations.
Here are a few examples of negations to add to your copywriting:
- No
- Don’t
- Can’t
- Never
- Nobody

Brainy Spotlight 💡
Corey Haines, creator of Swipe Files and Why We Buy reader, figured out the best copy to showcase on this landing page to boost conversions from 5% to 15%.
And he didn’t even have to write it.
Swipe File’s initial landing page had a header, signup button, and a big testimonial to the right. The 5% conversion was great, but Corey knew it could do better.
Instead of writing more copy to promote the membership, he showcased dozens of tweets from happy members.
Without writing a single line of copy, Corey boosted his conversions by 10%.
