Why typing beats reading

Reading gives you theory. Typing gives you instinct. When you physically type proven copy, your brain encodes patterns differently—rhythm, word choice, and structure become automatic.

This is the method Benjamin Franklin used to master prose. Lincoln copied legal briefs by hand. Hunter S. Thompson typed out The Great Gatsby. The greats knew: copying masters is how you internalize mastery.

Frequently asked questions

How long should I practice each day?

15-30 minutes of focused practice daily is more effective than occasional long sessions. Consistency beats intensity. Most exercises take 8-15 minutes to complete.

Will this help me write better copy?

Yes. Typing great copy activates different neural pathways than reading. Your brain encodes rhythm, word choice, and structure at a deeper level. It's the same method Benjamin Franklin used to master writing.

What if I'm a complete beginner?

Start with our beginner exercises. They use shorter passages and simpler techniques. As you build confidence, progress to intermediate and advanced exercises.

How is this different from reading copywriting books?

Books teach theory. Copywork builds instinct. When you physically type proven copy, you internalize patterns that become automatic in your own writing. It's the difference between knowing and doing.

What copywriters will I learn from?

Our passages come from legends like David Ogilvy, Gary Halbert, Eugene Schwartz, John Caples, Claude Hopkins, and modern masters. You'll also practice passages from great literary writers like Lincoln and Hemingway.
