To use these templates, simply copy and paste them as new posts in your community. Customize the myth or prompt to fit current conversations or popular trends. Always respond to comments to encourage further discussion and share additional resources when needed. Rotate different templates throughout the month to keep content fresh and members engaged.
For all platforms, keep posts concise and visually clear. Use bold or bullet points to highlight the myth versus the facts, and always include a question or CTA to prompt engagement. Monitor replies and moderate respectfully to maintain a constructive tone.
Use Myth Buster prompts that directly address popular but misleading ideas, such as 'Emotional words alone guarantee conversions.' Present the myth, ask members for real-world results, and provide industry-backed insights showing that emotional triggers work best when paired with audience research and offer relevance.
Frame your Myth Buster as 'Long-form copy always outperforms short-form' or vice versa. Encourage members to share A/B test results, client objections, and niche-specific experiences to highlight that copy length effectiveness depends on context, product complexity, and audience intent.
Acknowledge the sensitivity of the topic by setting clear community guidelines. Use Myth Buster prompts like 'AI can fully replace creative copywriters' and encourage members to share nuanced experiences, such as where AI excels (e.g., product descriptions) and where human insight is irreplaceable (e.g., brand storytelling).
Target myths like 'Changing a button color will double your conversions' or 'Including a guarantee always increases trust.' Provide context on CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) best practices, and encourage members to share split test outcomes and case studies to separate fact from fiction.
Create prompts such as 'Rewriting a competitor’s copy is legal if I change the wording.' Explain the nuances of copyright law, fair use, and the ethical standards in copywriting. Invite legal experts or experienced members to clarify gray areas and share best practices for original content.
Use highly specific myths, such as 'Technical audiences don’t respond to emotional appeals' or 'B2B copy should avoid storytelling.' Encourage advanced members to contribute case studies or campaign data showing how emotional resonance and storytelling drive results even in technical or B2B contexts.
