Many business owners rely too heavily on AI tools to generate marketing copy, only to find their messaging falls flat, their engagement drops, and their conversions stall. While these tools promise speed and efficiency, they often produce generic and repetitive content. How can businesses create persuasive copy that drives results in a crowded marketplace?
According to copywriter and full-stack marketer Balsam El Glaoui, effective messaging must be tailored, emotionally resonant, and frictionless. He has created a “five ones of copy” framework, involving focusing on one big idea, one angle, one mechanism, one emotion, and one offer to help copywriters sharpen their messaging and drive conversions. Balsam also recommends understanding your audience, testing multiple elements like subject lines and hooks, and eliminating any confusion or complexity from your offers.
In this episode of FuDog.TV, Mike Agugliaro and Aaron Hoos interview copywriter Balsam El Glaoui about writing marketing copy that sells. Balsam discusses how to outperform AI-generated content, why a full-stack approach to marketing is crucial, and how service businesses can elevate results through digital communication.

Quotable Moments:
“If you truly want great copy from AI, you have to put a lot of time into training.”
“No amount of good copy could sell a wrong offer to a wrong audience.”
“You're not just writing copy — you're actually being brought on to get them results.”
“Good copy always, always is key to any business, whether digital or in the real world.”
“Every question a prospect has to ask themselves is an opportunity for them to say no.”
Action Steps:
Focus on one big idea in your messaging: Crafting your copy around a single, clear concept reduces confusion and strengthens impact. This focus helps prospects immediately understand what you're offering and why it matters to them.
Align your copy with a specific audience: Knowing exactly who you’re speaking to allows you to tailor language, tone, and offers that resonate. Targeted messaging increases relevance and dramatically boosts conversion rates.
Eliminate friction in your offers: Simplifying pricing, timelines, and call-to-actions removes barriers that discourage customer action. The easier it is for someone to say yes, the more likely they will.
Embrace full-stack copywriting: Going beyond words to include strategy, audience research, and deliverability insights leads to better overall results. A full-stack approach ensures your message is seen, understood, and acted on.
Avoid relying solely on AI-generated content: While helpful, AI often produces repetitive or generic copy that fails to connect with readers. Human-driven messaging brings creativity, emotional depth, and differentiation to your brand.
