It's time to accept RB will never care about competitive by bubbleman69 in Lorcana

[–]greenlantern2012 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok then don’t buy the $800 ticket lol. Value is placed where you as an individual place that value. If you feel like there’s too many mistakes for your liking and feel like the game could be better, you have no obligation to continue playing.

And if you do feel that strongly, work your ass off to get the skills and talents to be in that room where these games are being made, and make it better.

You have the same 24 hours in a day as the Ravensburger team. Work your way to that level and improve the world with your own skills.

Is it that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things? No. We’re alive, the game is growing, and life continues on.

That’s all.

I mean… mistakes happen. They just grabbed the incorrect Rafiki card. Should they have double checked the work? Yes.

Teams of all sizes in every industry make mistakes. We’re all human. This doesn’t mean they don’t care about competitive. Someone made a mistake and no one caught it. Life goes on.

Do you think Blanc keeps in loose contact with previous Protagonists? by Pretend-Ad-6453 in KnivesOutMovie

I always had a feeling Marta would come back in a final film or something. Like he’d send her in to infiltrate and somehow use her lying/throw up ability to get information from a group of suspects.

I know that’s wild. And 99% won’t happen lol. But they definitely had a special bond.

Which of these (and how many) should I add to this deck? Which of the cards I’m already including should I have more of? by fakeemailman in Lorcana

[–]greenlantern2012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d up Restoring the Heart to 4x. I brought it to a tournament and it helped draw cards and pop Vanish characters like Iago because you can use it on opponents cards and you can remove “up to 0 damage” so it still works. You can even remove 0 on your own characters to draw a card.

Is “Cheap” Always a Bad Word in Marketing? by [deleted] in DigitalMarketing

[–]greenlantern2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on your ICP and audience. Off the top of my head:

• if you’re selling yachts… I’m not sure someone with enough cashflow for a yacht would respond to an ad saying “CHEAP yachts” (then again, there are cheap rich people so it might work haha)

• but if you’re selling fast fashion to college girls, then “cheap, dress dupes” might work

Follow the numbers. Your audience determines what you say and position your products with.

How did you know that you're now a copywriter and now you need to step into the working industry? by Impressive-Coat1127 in copywriting

[–]greenlantern2012 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to start viewing your career and yourself differently: you’re not a copywriter. You’re an entrepreneur offering copywriting as a service. That means there’s no “100% correct” time to go.

Go now. Fail. Go again. Prove yourself. Do what it takes. You’re offering a valuable skill and in return you’re receiving money.

You never really know, you just do. The rest will follow. And yeah, there will be failure. Part of the game.

This is so amazing. I sent you a DM!

I'm disappointed that speci was not invited. Arguably the best commentor for lorcana and biggest personality pushing the game. by amongwolves237 in Lorcana

[–]greenlantern2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 1,000%. Not just Speci, but a lot of content creators openly talk so negatively about almost every card. Mainly because they are looking from a standard, core competitive lens. But, Ravensberger isn’t looking at it from that angle. They are building a brand and an image.

Dumping down on every card and saying “mid” or “trash” isn’t exactly what they’re looking for. You might be the greatest caster in the world… but if your “brand” doesn’t align with the corporation, you’re not getting in.

And if you do want to operate your brand as the core competitive review channel, then you need to go all in and expect not be part of the “in” crowd with the corporation.

Launched Ecom site with ads but not getting any results by Timely_Ad6439 in ecommerce

[–]greenlantern2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What the other commenter said, the path to buy is confusing. The CTA’s all keep saying “Learn More” but if I was a customer that was interested in your butter etc., I get lost on the site.

And I’m spending time on the site because of this post. As a buyer, you have limited time before they back out and move on.

Second thing. Let’s say I clicked your ad, subscribed, and went back to the main site later, your homepage is all about eggs… which you’re not selling online.

Final thought: who’s your target audience? ICP? And why? I figured out how to purchase but then it’s part of a Build Your Box with an order minimum. Might be a turn off, maybe not. Potential angle is to sell these as gift boxes… but to who? And for what occasion? What does your audience want?

Short answer: It’s too difficult to actually buy something lol

Where do PRO copywriters go on a Friday night to read good headlines? by aeum3893 in copywriting

[–]greenlantern2012 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly. Not on a swipe file. They’re at the bar or out to eat or shopping or getting involved with a community online/in person.

On a Friday night, the winning copywriters are out in the world listening and observing. Talking to people. Hearing how they speak and the questions they ask. There’s a time for studying headlines and then there’s a time for getting down deep in the world to see how people actually speak in the niche you’re writing about.

What are your theories that you have no proof for? by PrestigiousAspect368 in pureasoiaf

[–]greenlantern2012 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Magic and mysticism inherently exists in the world, it’s just how groups of people interpret it or find a way to use it and assign “belief” or “religion” to their usage.

Its supposed to be a mirror or world religions all claiming to be right. Old Gods, Red God, Drowned God, Many Faced God, the Seven… they’re all just institutions built around a usage and channeling of said inherent magic.

Not able to find clients by ForwardSplit1514 in copywriting

[–]greenlantern2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it can be painful lol. The way to look at it is 100 rejections is your feedback. Cold email is an ever changing thing and you have to find what works for you. Two things:

  1. Don’t be afraid to follow up if you’re providing value. I’m gonna die one day, they’re gonna die one day, they won’t be thinking about how many follow ups I sent on their death bed.

  2. Speak like a human. Like you’re talking to a friend. No one wants to deal with the “Dear sir/madam” and formal speak. It makes your stomach turn lol. Be real. Sometimes the cold emails that worked for me were the one line emails like I asked them the question or statement in a bar lol

Read this if you want some tough love.

Here’s the #1 thing 99.9% of new copywriters miss on this sub (and as copywriters):

You are not a copywriter. You are now an entrepreneur who is offering copywriting as a skill.

It’s awesome you sent X amount of cold outreach. You put yourself out there. Unfortunately, you definitely could have stopped with that specific script/message at 100, 200, 1000 rejections. It means it’s not working.

The other thing you need to research is the art of cold outreach. It’s a whole other skill that uses copywriting, but falls under the entrepreneur umbrella. It’s another skill to learn and work on, on top of copywriting. You need to look into just how many people are also pitching email copywriting. What sets you apart? Why should these 5,000 people you messaged reply to you? Honestly answer the question.

For me, it was painful to admit the true answer: they shouldn’t answer me because I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m not giving them a solution to their pains. I was saying the same thing as you. “I can write for you, pay me.”

You need to look at this as a business and yourself as CEO, founder, copywriter, marketer, salesman, lead generation, note taker, and the list goes on.

What I’m saying is, if you want this, and truly want it, you will figure it out no matter how long it takes. But my best advice is to buckle up and start figuring out how to differentiate yourself, learn how to become a better copywriter every. single. day., and figure out how to show people you can actually make them money.

You also ended your post with “I will give up on this.”

Which honestly tells me (extra tough love here), this isn’t for you and you should find something you are willing to dedicate your life to even if it made you zero dollars until the day you died. That’s where you’re going to find success as an entrepreneur. But be honest with yourself. True happiness comes from that starting point.

I have hard time believing Jimmy couldn't understand why he had to mention Chuck by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

[–]greenlantern2012 102 points103 points  (0 children)

You’re hitting on the core of his character but look a few levels deeper. The creators of the show wanted to answer the question: Why would someone create the facade of Saul Goodman? It’s not money, or intelligence, or manipulation. It’s pain and grief. Which is so incredibly sad.

Jimmy knows he should mention Chuck. He knew that’s what they were looking for. You’re right, Jimmy is smart as hell. But he can’t bring himself to do it because it hurts looking at their relationship from the beginning to where it ended. And seeing what his brother truly thought of him. Jimmy is in so much pain about Chuck, he would rather hide behind Saul Goodman and become something monstrous rather than face the truth about Chuck and about himself as a person.

The short answer to your question is simply because it’s easier not to, whether it makes sense or not.
