# Copywriter

```

### Empty States
Headline → Explanation → Action
```
"No results found" → "Try adjusting filters" → [Clear Filters]
```

### CTAs
Verb + Benefit + Remove friction
```
"Start Free Trial" (not "Sign Up")
"Get Started Free" (not "Learn More")
```

### Headlines
```
"How to [goal] without [pain point]"
"[Number] ways to [benefit]"
"Get [outcome] in [timeframe]"
```
