These aren't just nice-to-haves—they're things that make the difference between finishing with a good website and finishing with a great website that actually gets seen and brings you clients.

"Do you think I can really write my own website copy? I'm not a copywriter. What if it's bad?" I get why people ask this. There's an entire industry telling you that you need to hire a professional copywriter and that DIY copy always ends up sounding wrong. But here's what I actually believe: You can absolutely write your own website copy. The problem isn't that you can't write—it's that you don't have a system for getting it out of your head in a clear and strategic way.In this episode, I'm breaking down why you're a great choice of person to write your copy, what makes DIY copy work, and what you don't need to be successful. This is a short episode about my group program Rewrite Your Site, which gives you the framework, checkpoints, and expert editing you need to write your own website copy without drowning in overwhelm or uncertainty._____________________________________________I hope you'll join me in Rewrite Your Site, an 8-week website copywriting program for small business owners, service providers, and creatives.The program kicks off on 1/6/26 and goes through to the end of February, but if you join before 11/27/25, you get access to three huge bonuses AND you can join our pre-gaming party in December.See all details and join us here: https://erinollila.com/rewrite-your-site/_____________________________________________ EPISODE 172.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: Coming soon!______________________________________________Here's the info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

Your website needs a complete rewrite. The homepage rambles. Your services page doesn't actually explain what you do. Your about page feels stiff and awkward. Maybe you have way too much content, or maybe you don't have nearly enough.But here's the bigger problem—you have no idea where to start. Do you rewrite the homepage first? Fix the services pages? Add testimonials? Create individual service pages? The whole thing feels like a massive, tangled project, and you're stuck wondering which thread to pull without making everything worse. So you close the tab and tell yourself you'll deal with it later. But later never comes.If that's you—if you've been staring at your website feeling overwhelmed and stuck—this episode is for you.Today I'm opening enrollment for Rewrite Your Site, my 8-week group program that helps you confidently write website copy that sounds like you and actually converts. This isn't another course you'll buy and never finish. It's a structured, supported program where you show up, do the work, and eight weeks later you have a complete website you're proud of.In this episode of Talk Copy to Me, I'm walking you through exactly what's inside the program, how it works week by week, who it's for (and who it's not for), the Early Bird bonuses available through November 27th, and why I believe you can write your own website copy—you just need the right guidance, accountability, and editing support to get it done.Your website has been on your to-do list long enough.

Real question: How long has your website been on your to-do list? Months? A year? Longer? You know it needs work, and you have the best intentions, but somehow it keeps getting pushed to next week, next month, always landing at the bottom of your priority list. And here's the thing—it's not just you. Even really successful business owners who are excellent at execution let their websites languish for way longer than they should. But why does this particular task keep getting pushed aside when you know how important it is?In this episode, I'm breaking down the three real reasons your website stays on the back burner. More importantly, I'm talking about what deprioritizing your website is actually costing you—from credibility and pricing perception to sales conversions and mental energy. And friend—this isn't about guilt or shame. It's about understanding the psychology and practical barriers so you can finally address them._____________________________________________ EPISODE 170.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: ______________________________________________Here's the info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

When someone lands on your homepage, they make a decision in about three seconds—stay or leave. That's it. Three seconds to convince them they're in the right place. But here's what I see constantly: homepages organized around what a business wants to say, not what the visitor actually needs to know. And when this happens the visitor can't figure out if they're in the right place, and instead of staying, they leave.In this episode, I'll share a framework for organizing your homepage so visitors quickly decide they're in the right place and know what to do next. I'll cover what needs to be above the fold (the four non-negotiables), the logical flow that tells a story, and the common mistakes that make people bounce. If you've been following this series on website confidence, this episode brings everything together with a practical framework you can implement right now._____________________________________________ EPISODE 169.

Why do some websites attract premium clients while others seem to only draw in bargain hunters and price shoppers? After ten years of writing for brands and businesses, I've learned that client quality isn't about luck—it's about signals. Premium clients (people who value expertise, understand that quality costs money, and are serious about getting results) are scanning for very specific things when they evaluate your website. And if those signals aren't present, they simply move on.Instead of what pushes visitors away—like we discussed last week—I'm talking about what attracts the right people—specifically, premium clients who are ready to invest. I'll walk you through the three main signals they're looking for and cover the smaller details that premium clients pick up on, from how you talk about pricing to your overall confidence level. This isn't about making your brand look luxurious or expensive—it's about showing premium clients the specific things they need to see before they feel confident about reaching out.__________________________________________EPISODE 168.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: ______________________________________________Here's the info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

You're getting traffic to your website. People are clicking around, spending time there—but your inbox stays empty. No contact forms filled out, no calls booked, nothing. So you think, "I just need more visitors, right?" Wrong. The problem isn't traffic—it's that your website is quietly pushing people away before they reach out. There are four website silent killers turning interested visitors into ghosts: confusion, overwhelm, distrust, and friction.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what each of these website silent killers looks like in practice and how they're costing you clients without you even realizing it. We'll explore why someone might land on your site genuinely interested but leave without taking action, and more importantly, what you can do to fix it. These aren't design problems—they're messaging, strategy, and user experience problems that you can actually address without a complete website overhaul.__________________________________________EPISODE 167.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: https://erinollila.com/4-website-silent-killers-that-make-visitors-ghost-you/______________________________________________Here's the info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

Ever share your website link with a disclaimer like "Sorry, it's outdated!" or "I know it needs work!"? If you've ever apologized for your website before anyone even clicks, you're not alone—but that apology is quietly sabotaging your business. When you undermine your own credibility, you're not being humble. You're actively telling potential clients not to trust you, and worse, you're attracting discount-seekers while premium clients move on to someone who seems more confident.In this episode, I'm breaking down what your website apologies are really costing you and why your site probably doesn't need the complete teardown you've been dreading. We'll explore the difference between a website glow-up and a full rebuild, plus I'll share specific, strategic improvements you can make right now—without hiring a designer or spending months on the project. It's time to share your link without commentary and let your website work for you.__________________________________________EPISODE 166.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: https://erinollila.com/stop-apologizing-for-your-website/______________________________________________Here's the info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

Well, those answers, called AI Overviews, are changing everything about how people find businesses online.

We'll cover the pros and cons for product-based versus service-based businesses, how AI Overviews are changing user behavior (spoiler: people aren't clicking as much anymore), and the practical steps you can take to optimize your existing content.If you've been panicking about whether you should try to show up in AI Overviews or how to even make that happen, this conversation will give you the clarity you need to make strategic decisions for your business.__________________________________________EPISODE 165.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: Coming Soon______________________________________________Get to know our guest expert, Emily GertenbachEmily is a search engine optimization consultant, freelance writer, and AI skeptic who has spent the past 15 years creating readable, relatable SEO content for B2B that ranks highly … and stays at the top of search results (and in LLM chats).

Are you spending too much time worrying about whether you need to impress search engines or AI tools? You might feel panicked and ignore it completely or abandon traditional SEO to chase the shiny new thing. Well, both approaches are wrong. The truth is, you can't do AI optimization (AIO) without traditional SEO—they're not separate strategies, and one builds on the other.In this episode, I'm breaking down what still matters in traditional SEO, what AI optimization actually means, and how these two approaches work together instead of replacing each other. I'll walk you through the exact content structure changes you need to make to show up in both traditional search results and AI-generated answers, why AI-generated content doesn't perform well for AIO, and what you should actually focus on if you're feeling overwhelmed by all of this.__________________________________________EPISODE 164.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: Coming Soon______________________________________________Here's info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

Your AI just wrote you a blog post and it sounds great—so are you ready to hit publish? The answer is no.Here's why: AI makes stuff up, gets facts wrong, and sometimes loses your voice completely—and you won't catch these problems unless you know what to look for. For small business owners and creatives using AI to create or repurpose content, editing and fact-checking aren't optional—they're essential for protecting your credibility and maintaining trust with your audience.In this episode, I'm walking you through my two-stage editing process for AI-generated content. You'll learn how to use in-tool refinement to improve AI's output before you even start manual editing, how to review content for messaging, voice, story flow, and style, and—most critically—how to fact-check everything before it goes live. Sound good?

What if the content you've already created could work harder for you? If you're like most small business owners and creatives, you've spent hours crafting blog posts, emails, and social content—only to use them once and move on. But here's the thing: you're sitting on a goldmine of material that could be repurposed to extend your reach, fill your content calendar, and actually get a return on all that time you invested. In this episode of Talk Copy to Me, I'm showing you how AI can make content repurposing faster and more strategic than ever before. I'll walk you through bi-directional repurposing (yes, you can go from short-form to long-form content too), share specific workflows you can use right away, and give you the exact prompts and context you need to get quality results from AI tools. You'll learn how to choose which content is worth repurposing, how to maintain your voice across different formats, and—most importantly—what mistakes to avoid so you're not just churning out mediocre content. This isn't about letting AI run wild with your messaging; it's about using it strategically to maximize the ROI on content you've already validated.You in? Great!

You've got your AI trained with your brand voice and messaging, but you're still just using it to write social posts. (Sound familiar?) But what if you could actually use AI as a brainstorming partner?If you did the foundation work from last week's episode, your AI actually knows your business well enough to help you think through bigger challenges.In this episode, we explore how to brainstorm strategically with AI—not just content topics, but messaging angles, audience concerns, and potential blind spots in your approach. And don't worry, I also cover AI's significant limitations that most people ignore, like its built-in biases and tendency to tell you what you want to hear. The goal is using AI to think more thoroughly while staying in control of all strategic decisions.You in?

Your AI keeps giving you generic copy because it doesn't know your business the way a human copywriter would. Most people think the solution is better prompts, but that's like thinking good copy just means better grammar.You're missing the entire strategy layer underneath.In this episode, I explore why AI training fails for most business owners and how working with a copy coach can solve the real problem. We'll talk about developing the strategic foundation your AI actually needs, from specific brand voice definitions to clear audience insights, and why this approach improves all your marketing, not just AI-generated content.__________________________________________EPISODE 160.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: Coming Soon______________________________________________Here's info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.

Creative burnout isn't a personal failure—it's a signal that your current content creation approach isn't sustainable.

You'll discover low-energy content strategies that still provide value, how to prevent future burnout, and when to seek support rather than just pushing through.

With Tad Hargrave, a trailblazer in conscious business marketing, entrepreneurs find a new way to promote their work without losing themselves in the process. Tad's journey started in his teens when he got caught up in a mix of sales and marketing techniques—some felt genuine, others felt like they crossed a line. After years in the field, he stepped back, questioning what he'd been taught and rethinking how marketing could actually feel good. What he found was a way to market that's both effective and rooted in respect, where integrity and connection take center stage.By 2006, Tad had become one of the first full-time coaches focused on helping values-driven entrepreneurs grow their businesses without compromising who they are. Since 2001, he's traveled across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and online, sharing his unorthodox approach with conscious entrepreneurs, often on a “pay what you can” basis. Now based in Duncan, BC, Tad honors his Scottish and Ukrainian roots, along with his hometown of Edmonton, Alberta (Amiskwaciwaskihegan), by dedicating himself to building a more respectful, human-centered culture. Through his workshops, and in the sixteen books he's written, Tad continues to help business owners find success that aligns with their values.Join us in our conversation as Tad shares insights into resourcefulness in entrepreneurship, highlighting the power of identifying and celebrating unique talents—especially within the Indigenous community. He also discusses ethics in marketing, emphasizing respect, simplicity, and authenticity, along with practical techniques to create a more relaxed, pressure-free atmosphere in sales. Tune in to explore how marketing can be not only effective but also deeply meaningful and aligned with values.To listen to the podcast and access the show notes and any other resources mentioned in this episode, visit us at www.legalwebsitewarrior.com/podcast.

We meditate regularly. Eastern civilization is very spiritually advanced compared to Western civilization, and this is well documented. The whole yoga revolution, for instance, began when a bunch of East Indian practitioners brought their knowledge here. I strongly suggest that people not only take time out of their day but also make an effort to spend time with their breath, meditate, drown out the noise, and learn to be comfortable with their self-talk. Self-talk is a crucial aspect of this practice. There's your foreground and background conversation, and the conversation you're having with yourself is essentially the conversation you're having with the universe. Thoughts On Breathing Buteyko is a Russian scientist who developed a breathing method. You can find more about it online; it's been really helpful for me. Additionally, there are various frequency breath training techniques involving specific durations for holding, inhaling, and exhaling. Bullying Story Growing up, my father passed away, leaving my mom to run our restaurant on Bloor and Lansdowne. She was a great cook, but not a businessperson. I spent my early years in Regent Park until age 10, then moved to Jane and Finch. My mom hoped for less racism, but we faced new challenges. In Regent Park, I dealt with rockers and skinheads, and in Jane and Finch, it was a mix of Mexicans, Jamaicans, and other ethnicities. I encountered racism, being called names like “Paki” and “curry eater.” I didn't engage aggressively; instead, I'd ask, “Why are you doing this?” However, in Jane and Finch, I sometimes had to fight back for my belongings. I believe facing adversity is essential for growth. My kids, aged 15, 17, and 19, have never been in a fight, which I find hard to relate to. When I was younger, making plans involved uncertainty, unlike today's instant communication. My son shows me how his classmates share their locations with him, thinking it's an achievement. While each generation faces different challenges, I believe that experiencing breakdowns can lead to breakthroughs. Building mental toughness is crucial, and while inclusivity is important, it should not compromise genuine personal growth.
