How to Use These Templates

Start by posting a One Word Challenge as a standalone post or within a regular engagement thread. Prompt members with a clear, open-ended question related to copywriting and instruct them to reply with a single word. For deeper interaction, you can invite explanations, but make it optional. Rotate topics frequently to keep things fresh, and consider highlighting standout responses or summarizing themes to reinforce community bonds.

Best Practices

  • Keep prompts broad so all members can respond easily.
  • Rotate topics to cover various aspects of copywriting.
  • Encourage but do not require explanations for answers.
  • Acknowledge and engage with responses to show appreciation.
  • Use inclusive language to make everyone feel welcome.

All Platforms Tips

For all platforms, keep your prompt short and place the main question at the top of your post. Use simple formatting to ensure it stands out. If allowed, pin or highlight the challenge for better visibility. Encourage replies in threads or comments to keep conversations organized. Use tags or hashtags where appropriate to boost discoverability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I encourage members to reference real-world copy (ads, landing pages, emails) in their One Word Challenge responses?

Include prompts such as 'headline', 'CTA', or 'storytelling', and ask members to quote or link to actual examples they've seen or written. This grounds the challenge in practical application and showcases diverse copywriting styles from various industries.

How do I tailor One Word Challenge posts to suit both agency and freelance copywriters with differing workflows and client types?

Select words that are universal to the copywriting experience but open to interpretation, like 'pitch', 'client', or 'brief'.
