Promotional Articles I've writtten

You wouldn’t believe me when I say it, but it in the olden days I used to be able to doze off in the most awful setttings. The blaring light and the din in the room were forced to admit defeat to my sleeping superpower.

My normal sleep routine looked a lot like this:

1) For starters, I liked to make my room cold letting the air flow in.
2)   The second step involved moving my pet cat to the lower quarters of the bed.
3)   This was one of the most crucial stages. It involved loading up the iPad and listening to an ebook. Hey, gotta nourish my brain.

But, all good things must come to an end. I broke up with my sleep schedule and embraced my dreams. Self-improvement, baby.

Over the past few months, something changed. I chose to grind. Grind every single day. Without rest. How could I let go of that one shot I had to make it as a freelance writer?

And guess what, I made a horrific discovery. All those hours of late night work was taking a toll on my nervous system as I started to become hyper-aware of my diaphanous eyelids. Yes, those things are super thin. (Almost Anorexic actually.)

My love for auricular experiences which helped me to nourish the strawberry jam in my head was suddenly gone. Even my feelings chose to ghost me. Tough luck!


From listening to subliminal audios to scavenging through piles of raindrop music to sleep.mp3, I tried it all. But, to no avail.

It was then that my close friend, Lovato told me about weighted eye blankets. With insomnia choking the life-force out of me, I decided to take my chances. I really didn’t want to become a zombie yet.

Nodpod’s sleep mask resembled the mask worn by the villain on Batman. It kind made me look like Kaneki-kun from Tokyo-ghoul.

It’s like a scarf with four bead-filled segments. Here’s how I use it: For quick naps, I’ll just lay it over my eyes. Equipped with the weighted eye-blankets, I was ready to wage war against insomnia.  


It wasn’t long until I couldn’t fathom sleeping without it. These days, my waking hours are quite fraught on their own. Boy, do I love to dream.

Blaire Warren and the seven addictions

Humans are creatures of habits. In fact, the fact that you are here at this point in time of your life is partly due to habits you have formed.  Habits are however malleable.  Anyways, this is basically what I have learnt today.  According to Blake Warren,  People have 7 covert addictions/inclinations: Hidden Addiction #1: People need to feel needed. (i would basically say this is ego stroking. from a psychological point of view) Hidden Addiction #2: When aware of an impasse, people will do anything to gain a sense of hope.(survival instinct?) Hidden Addiction #3: People need a scapegoat.(raitifcation. Ego preservation.) Hidden Addiction #4: People need to be noticed and feel understood. (Ego stroking again. Also, humans are actually social animals. Empathy is at the heart of what most humans seek in healthy doses from strangers, friends and families.) Hidden Addiction #5: People need to know things others don’t know/things they aren’t sup...

Lessons from Great Leads

Well, the author in this book talks about the importance of leads. first lesson was on: Focusing on one thing only in the copy. He teaches this important concept related to selling. That ranges from: Most aware, product aware, solution aware, problem aware, unaware. Most aware people are the easiest to sell to. They already know quite a bit about ur product. Product aware: They have heard about your product. But just aren't quite ready yet to burn the hard-earned cash. solution aware: knows about the results he wants but not the product/service which provides it. Problem aware: Knows about the wall that he/she is encountering. Unaware: pretty much oblivious of what is happening around.

Lessons from Kyle Milligan: day -3

Are you an aspiring copywriter too? Look no further.  The following post is going to give you pointer on how to write killer copy .  the first chief aspect of killer copy is the headline.  The headline must be eye-catching.  It must satisfy the four U s. They are unique                useful                urgent                 ultraspecific. The headline should essentially grab the reader by the eyeball.  And then we expand upon the headline. Upon expanding on our headlines, the idea is to establish credibility. I mean, if people dont believe the service/product that you are selling then it's entirely pointless. Lastly bribe them to read on and take action.  :)  Other lessons I learnt:  Adverts frequently make use of magic bullets.  They say tha...
