Write Now! Persuasive Writing Prompts:
Try a Before-and-After Approach
Practice your copywriting skills with this prompt from The Professional Writers’ Alliance (PWA).
This Write Now! practice exercise will help you become a more convincing writer.

When you’re writing persuasive copy, you really want to get to the heart of how the product you’re writing about is going to change your reader’s life for the better. If you can convince your reader that their life is going to be better after buying your product, then the buying decision becomes easy.
So here in my hand, I have a basic corkscrew, like you might see a waiter use in a restaurant. And your writing assignment is to write, in five sentences, what a waiter’s shift is like without this corkscrew. And then, in five more sentences, how much better it is, with this corkscrew. Have fun.
