How to Write with Claude: Persuasive Texts (Part 2)
  • Claude

A persuasive text has one job: move the reader to act – to buy, sign up, or say yes. A sales email, a proposal, a landing page all rest on whether the reader takes that step at the end. That makes them harder to write than informative texts, because every line has to build toward a single action.

With your writing system in place, Claude can draft persuasive copy with you, built on a proven persuasion structure. You'll build a repeatable workflow, step by step, with an editorial check at each stage.

By the end of this guide, you'll:

  • Set up a Claude project dedicated to writing persuasive texts.
  • Build a repeatable workflow that takes you from a persuasion structure to a polished draft.
  • Write persuasive texts – from cold emails to landing pages – with an editorial check at every step, and save each one as an example.

Note: This builds on your writing system and the project setup from Prompts Part 2. It also adds a third kind of context: good examples. Your writing system gives Claude your audience and voice, your research gives it the facts, and your examples show it what "good" looks like. You build them as you write.

What are persuasive texts, and when do you write them?

Persuasive texts are written to convince your reader and move them to act – to buy, subscribe, or approve. Where an informative text aims for understanding, a persuasive one aims for a decision.

You write them across the whole funnel:

Stage Examples
Initial outreach Cold emails, LinkedIn messages, ads, webinar invitations
Offer and proposal Quotes, pitch decks, one-pagers, brochures
Persuasion with proof Case studies, demo videos, product announcements
Conversion and follow-up Follow-up emails, promotional emails, landing pages

One workflow covers all of them. You'll set up a project once, then start a new chat each time you need a specific text.

Set up your persuasive text workflow

1. Set up a project

Set up a Claude project for writing persuasive texts, the same way you built your prompt builder in Part 2. Work in Cowork mode with the latest Opus model. Put your writing system in a local folder and connect it to the project:

  • Relevant personas: help Claude understand your target audience.
  • Value propositions: keep the message focused on the benefits of your offering or expertise.
  • Your writing guide: keeps the tone and style consistent.

Under Local folder, choose that folder, and set Visibility to Local. Claude reads these files as context – and in Cowork it can save your finished examples straight back to the folder.

You can create one general project for all persuasive texts, or specific projects per content type or medium:

  • One general project – for all persuasive content.
  • Per content type – sales and marketing, offers and proposals, product marketing, lead nurturing.
  • Per medium – outreach, offers, proof, conversion.

Choose the approach that best fits how you organize and produce content.

2. Expand your project knowledge (optional)

The more relevant material in your project, the better Claude understands your context and the more effective its texts. Two things help most:

  • Research. When a text needs facts, add a cited report to the project. Research turns a question into one you can drop straight in.
  • Good examples. Your best finished texts. You'll add these as you write (step 8), and they show Claude what "good" looks like.
