I know: the 3 keys to unlimited (really!) copywriting success sounds like a big promise. But we (really!) follow through on it. And frankly, these are the steps for success at anything, not just copywriting. Whatever goals you have for yourself, you CAN achieve them. The only way to “fail” is if you don't get started. Or if you stop doing the work. OK, I'm going to stop typing (really!) because this is one episode you need to listen to ASAP. --------------- Mentioned in the Episode The Real Math on Job Bidding Site “Success”Ep. 154: How Freelancers Can Masterfully Juggle Multiple Projects – with Kaitlyn SpinneyEp. 199: #1 Thing Getting in Your Way of Copywriting (and Other!)

WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/tybUEk1vTS4 If Etsy is such a powerful platform, why doesn't every brand just open an Etsy shop? That question sounds simple, but it reveals something really important for Etsy sellers. Etsy can bring traffic. Etsy can make it easier to get found. Etsy runs Google ads. Etsy gives you a marketplace where buyers are already searching. So if Etsy does all of that, why would anyone need their own website? The answer is because Etsy is not built to grow your brand. Etsy is built to grow Etsy. In this episode, I break down why Etsy sellers need to think differently when they move from Etsy to their own website. A website is not just a place to copy and paste your Etsy listings. If you treat your website like Etsy with a different logo, it probably will not work. On Etsy, buyers are usually already searching for something. They land on your product, compare it to other similar products, look at the pictures, read a little, check the price, and decide. But on your own website, the job is different. You have to slow the buyer down. You have to help them understand your brand, your product, your mission, and why they should care. That means your website needs stronger messaging. A lot of Etsy sellers make beautiful products, take great pictures, and still struggle to explain why someone should buy from them. They say things like "handmade," "unique," "high quality," or "perfect gift," but those phrases are usually not enough to build a real brand. Everyone can say them. They are not visual enough. They are not specific enough. And they often do not give the customer a real reason to believe. So in this episode, I walk through a simple three-part test for better brand messaging: Can they visualize it? Can they prove it? Can no one else say it? First, your customer needs to be able to see themselves using the product. If you sell handmade mugs, "handmade ceramic mug" might describe the item, but it does not create much desire. A stronger line paints a moment. Something like, "The mug that makes 6:30 worth waking up for." Now the buyer can picture the morning, the coffee, the quiet moment, and the feeling of reaching for that specific mug. That is what good website messaging can do. It helps people see the product inside their own life. Second, your claims need proof. If you say your product is the best, the perfect gift, cleaner, softer, more relaxing, or higher quality, you need to explain why. A claim without proof is easy to ignore. A claim with a reason becomes believable. For example, instead of saying a candle is "the perfect candle for winding down," explain what makes it good for that moment. Is it the scent? The ingredients? The burn time? The way it is made? The emotional use case? Give people something they can believe. Third, and maybe most important, your brand needs to say something that no one else can say in the same way. If every other shop can make the same claim, it is not a strong positioning statement. "The perfect gift for mom" is not enough because every candle shop, jewelry shop, mug shop, and print shop can say the same thing. But if your product is connected to your story, your mission, your point of view, your customer's specific life, or the problem you are trying to solve, now you have something stronger. I also talk about the difference between getting sales and building loyalty. Etsy can help you get sales, but your website needs to help people remember you. It needs to help people understand what you stand for. It needs to make them feel like they are buying from a brand, not just buying another product they found online. This is where I bring in examples like Spindrift and Sonnet James. Spindrift is not just another sparkling water brand. Their message is built around real fruit and no mystery "natural flavors." That matters to a certain kind of customer. Sonnet James did not just sell dresses. She sold the idea of being a playful mom who could get down on the floor with her kids and still feel beautiful. That is brand-building. It is not just describing the product. It is connecting the product to a deeper reason someone wants it. And that is the real lesson for Etsy sellers. Your Etsy shop can prove that people want your product. But your website has to prove why people should want your brand. If you are thinking about building a website for your Etsy shop, this episode will help you understand what needs to change. Your website needs more than products, photos, and a checkout button. It needs messaging that makes people visualize the product, believe your claims, and understand why your brand is different from every other option. Because if your website just says the same thing every Etsy shop says, it is probably going to flop. But if you use your website to tell a stronger story, make better claims, and build real brand loyalty, it can become something much bigger than just another place to sell your products. In this episode, I cover: Why Etsy sellers should not treat their website like Etsy Why Etsy cares about Etsy first, not your brand first How Etsy can bring sales without building long-term loyalty Why your website needs a different sales strategy How to make your product messaging more visual Why "handmade" and "unique" are usually not enough How to make claims that customers can actually believe Why proof matters when selling products online How to say something no one else in your niche can say Why vulnerability and mission matter when building a brand How Etsy sellers can move from marketplace selling to brand-building If you sell on Etsy and you are thinking about building your own website, do not build it until you understand this.

Most force-free trainers feel like accidental business owners and reluctant marketers - brilliant with dogs, but suddenly expected to be marketers, salespeople, and content creators. Add AI into the mix and it can feel impossible to stand out without selling your soul.   Today, we are joined by Ricky Sullivan, The Canine Copywriter. She helps dog trainers get crystal clear on what they offer, who it's for, and writes the content for their website, emails, and other marketing. Content that makes the right people's ears perk up and tempts them to get out their credit cards. We discuss why creating ethical, human copy is essential and how to do it and improve your visibility without having to live on social media. As well as how to use AI in a way that ensures you still sound like you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Copywriting is all about using the right words. Words that catch the attention of the right people and demonstrate to them that you are the person who genuinely can help them to train their dog and provide them with relief. Jargon-heavy copy that reads like you are trying to prove how much you know, instantly turns people off. Their eyes roll, they think "what the hell does that mean or that sound soooo complicated." - then click away.  Pet owners want a human they can relate to and understand. Someone they know will truly solve their problem.   Be honest about what your offer. The more genuine you are the more you will attract clients you can help and the more likely it is you will please them and attract good reviews. If you think you are not a good fit, don´t work with that client. Pick marketing methods that work for you. If you don´t like writing, produce your content by talking instead. Using social media is optional, staying consistently visible isn't. Generic, identical AI images and content erode trust and stop you standing out.   BEST MOMENTS “Copywriting is writing words, but words for marketing. Words that are designed to persuade.” “You just cannot stand out if everybody's stuff sounds exactly the same, and everybody's images are AI generated.” “It's a fine line between understanding what people need to hear and not using their pain points against them.” “Most force-free dog trainers didn't get into being a dog trainer because they wanted to be on social media.” “Don't over complicate it, just be yourself, just show up, talk about what you care about, talk about how you can help people.” ABOUT THE GUEST https://thecaninecopywriter.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/thecaninecopywriter https://www.instagram.com/thecaninecopywriter/ SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 Email: hello@caninebusinessacademy.com ABOUT THE HOSTS Jo Moorcroft and Vicky Davies are dog behaviourists, business strategists, and co-founders of Canine Business Academy—the UK's go-to hub for dog professionals who want more than just a logo and a dream.With a combined passion for dogs and business done properly, Jo and Vicky have helped hundreds of canine professionals build sustainable, profitable businesses rooted in real impact.

How much does a banana cost for you? At Trader Joe's they may be 26 cents (maybe a bit more for organic).  At Whole Foods they may be around 70 cents. But a banana costs relatively the same amount wherever you go, right? It's a difference of a few cents. Copywriting is a not a banana.

On this episode of Market This, I'm breaking down why most websites are quietly losing potential clients and what you need to do to fix it. Most websites aren't failing because they look bad. They're failing because they quietly turn visitors away before a conversation starts. Website copywriting is often the hidden reason behind that gap between traffic and enquiries. If your site feels “fine” but isn't converting, this breakdown changes how you see what's happening.You'll learn how a seven-second homepage test reveals what's working instantly, why hero sections often miss the mark, and how structure impacts conversions. website copywriting shifts here from writing words to guiding decisions.From calls to action placement to missing page elements, the audit process shows how messaging strategy affects performance. Local business marketing relies on clarity at every step, while content marketing only works when it reflects what clients actually need to hear.This is where strong website copywriting makes the difference. It sharpens positioning, highlights differentiators, and removes friction that causes potential clients to leave.For service-based businesses focused on marketing for local business growth, the goal is simple: increase trust and turn visits into enquiries. Done well, this helps boost local sales without more traffic, just better messaging.Ready to improve your website? Book a website copy audit to get a professional breakdown of your homepage and services page and uncover what's costing you clients. Website copywriting is often the difference between being found and being chosen.Book: lindsaysmithcreative.ca/auditThis episode was mixed and edited by Cardinal Studio.

Google recently announced its 2026 algorithm updates at I/O in May 2026, and that made me stop and ask: Is my website actually built for how people are going to find me now?And how can I incorporate this for website copywriting for my clients?Google just fundamentally shifted how people discover businesses online. Information agents are scanning the web 24/7. Agentic booking is expanding to pull real-time pricing and availability. Conversational search is remembering context and surfacing deep-dive content. These affect how your business gets found online.So I audited my own website against these new realities. And I made three specific changes that all business owners can make today.In this episode, I'm walking you through the three specific website copywriting changes I made after Google's 2026 algorithm updates announced at I/O in May.

Like many Comprehensive Copywriting Academy students, Caleb was a burnt out teacher looking for a different career. On this Build Your Copywriting Business podcast episode, he's generously sharing how he made that transition, including how he's learned to use his ADHD as a strength. Several people in the community have asked about working as a copywriter with ADHD and, whether or not you are managing it yourself, Caleb's tips are wildly helpful. As he says, he can't just rely on “feeling” like working, but has to set up his environment so that getting started is the easiest thing to do. And when he's working, Caleb uses the “sprint” method to avoid the mid-day fog. Listen to hear him explain these tactics—and others (and let us know if you try any!!). -------------- Mentioned in the Episode Caleb's LinkedInHow to Put Together a Copywriting Portfolio (Even With No Experience)Ep. 37: Improve Your Copywriting Productivity and ProfessionalismEp. 237: AI is Going to Take My Job!!! … But Is It Related Links Finding Your Copywriting Flow StateBONUS Laser Coaching: Tips for Neurodivergent CopywritersEp. 256: From Teaching to Copywriting While Facing Life's Biggest Tests – Joanna's Story --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here

In this episode, I'm sharing my honest, unfiltered take on Russell Brunson firing his entire copywriting team and why the reaction from both sides of the debate is missing the point entirely. I break down why AI replacing humans is the wrong conversation to be having, what the integration actually looks like inside a real business, and the one question every entrepreneur should be running their AI decisions through before they waste time chasing shiny objects. If you've been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you're watching everyone else "win" with AI while you're still figuring it out, this episode is for you.

Jon Benson joins us for a conversation that will change how you think about creativity, copy, and your business."In Episode 271 of Navigating the Customer Experience, host Yanique Grant sits down with Jon Benson, the pioneering copywriter and entrepreneur who invented the Video Sales Letter (VSL) the format that became the backbone of modern digital marketing.

Today, he's the creator of BNSN (pronounced "Benson"), a proprietary AI copywriting platform built exclusively for ethical marketers who want to attract their ideal customers not just anyone with a credit card.But before any of that, Jon was a graphic designer who nearly lost his life. At 38 years old, he suffered a heart attack a consequence of obesity, stress, and burning the candle at both ends. His recovery led him to write a bestselling book on fitness transformation, which launched him unexpectedly into the world of internet marketing and copywriting. It's one of the most compelling origin stories you'll hear, and it sets the tone for everything Jon has built since.In this episode, Jon and Yanique explore:

In this episode, Igor finally gets Neville Medhora on the show to talk about AI killing the copywriting education business, why swipefile.com is flying for the exact same reason, and what Neville learned living on the street.
