In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from copywriter Helen Savage. She says: “I'm a freelance writer and have less work than I've had for the 6 years I've been freelance — but at the same time my youngest child has just started walking to school by himself. I'm struggling a bit with the fact I'm going to be needed less and less by my kids and don't have the work to fill my time and give me that sense of purpose. I appreciate a lot of parents might want to scream at me for complaining about children being more independent

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. And, even if we agree on that, I don't think you're going to like this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast. See, we hear all the time, “I found this pricing guide and it's really helpful!” But what you may not realize is those guides are actually hurting you.  It's presented as an easy solution to a complex problem: how much do I charge for an email? Or a homepage? Or an about page? I hate to break it: there's not an easy button for this. These guides are a marketing gimmick to put $$$dollar signs$$$ in your eyes and get you to click or opt-in or buy the program. Ready to hear me out?

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. These updates (information agents, agentic booking, and especially conversational search) are actively reshaping how AI finds, evaluates, and recommends service providers online. And the businesses who act on this now have a real advantage.Let's make sure the website you've already built is actually working for you in 2026 and beyond.Want me to make these website copywriting changes for you so that YOU will be found through Google with its new updates?

Most local business owners spend weeks perfecting their website's look, the colours, the fonts, the layout, and then slap on a headline like "Helping you achieve financial freedom" and call it done. However, if someone lands on your site and bounces, it's almost never because of the design. It's because your headline didn't stop them.In this episode, I break down why generic headlines are silently killing your website's performance, using a real example from a recent website copy audit I did for a financial planner. Her site looked great. Her business was solid. But her headline could have belonged to literally anyone, a bank, a coach, an app, a newsletter. And that's exactly the problem.I walk you through what a strong headline actually does (spoiler: it's not about being clever), the three things every good headline needs to include, and how to rework yours even if you're not a writer. As a website copywriter who's looked at hundreds of homepages, I can tell you, the fix is almost never a full rewrite. It's just saying the right thing more clearly. I also get into something most people miss: the connection between your headline and search intent, and why clarity builds trust faster than design ever will.If you've been wondering why your website isn't converting the way it should, this episode is a good place to start.In this episode, I cover:Why "professional-sounding" headlines are usually the weakest part of a local business websiteThe real-life audit example that shows exactly what a vague headline costs youThe one question I asked that completely changed this client's messagingWhat your headline actually needs to do (it's simpler than you think)The search intent layer most business owners overlookA quick framework you can use to rewrite your own headline todayIf you want a professional's eyes on your website copy, book a website copy audit at: lindsaysmithcreatie.ca/audit.This episode was mixed and edited by Cardinal Studio.

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.

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.

Send us Fan Mail"What happens when the inventor of the Video Sales Letter meets AI? 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. Since 2010, Jon has been quietly working at the intersection of AI and persuasion science, partnering with early AI companies as far back as 2015 to teach machines the nuances of high-converting copy. 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.

In this episode, we're joined by Matthew Volkwyn to help us strip away the "get rich quick" veneers of the copywriting world to look at what actually builds a sustainable, high-income career. If you've been hunting for a magic outreach "hack" or a shortcut to six figures, this is your reality check: true success is a three-to-five-year game of skill mastery, and the real money is in cultivating long-term relationships with the clients you work with.  In this discussion, we talk about why most copywriters struggle with client acquisition. We explore the prioritization of skills over tactics, arguing that when you become undeniably good, the industry's top 1% starts doing the heavy lifting for you through referrals and high-level networking. Whether you're just starting your clock on the "3-to-5-year rule" or you're a seasoned pro looking to tighten your client retention, this episode offers a roadmap for evolving from a freelancer into a high-value partner.
