One of the tenets of good copywriting is that you must have a strong "hook."


Something to grab the reader's attention and keep them reading.


At least, that's advice you commonly hear.


But what is a "hook", exactly, and is using one the best or only way to get attention?


My guest today has a problem with the concept of the "hook," and he's here to tell us why.


Derek Pollard is the owner of Constellar Creative, a marketing and thought leadership agency for financial planners.


Derek is also a highly acclaimed and published poet and has taught writing at the university level for many years.
