This Blog Post Will Change Your Life Forever

Every blog post starts with a headline designed to bash short attention spans and whore itself to search engines. The perfect follow-up? More text designed to keep those headline-victims captivated, cut up into sections that facilitate scannability.

It’s tried-and-tested formula:

  1. Grab attention with a headline

Rico Mossesgeld is a Copywriting Bunny

Yep, that's me

I’m Rico Mossesgeld, a writer based in the Philippines working for Best of Media (BoM). I regularly contribute to Tom’s Guide and sometimes write on Tom’s Hardware.

I also write for Techie and Technograph (a personal project), both tech websites that cater to the Philippine market. I’ve written professionally since 2006, cranking out words like bunnies procreating.

My fifteen minutes of fame? My copy was once used as a placeholder for the Office of the President of the Philippines website. I never received credit for my contribution, but you can say my own government vouched for my writing.

True story

While I’m mainly a writer, I also have some experience with email marketing from my days at US Auto Parts (USAP). The team I worked with, under the superb direction of Alvin Jimenez, raised revenue by 500% within one year.

While at USAP, I also used my awesome Excel skills to create a worksheet that cut down email newsletter production time from one week to literally a day. Nested if-then formulas for the win!
