You can harness the power of those words to connect with your ideal clients and make more sales through the magic of copywriting. In each episode, we’ll dive deep into the world of copywriting and marketing, sharing insights and strategies that will help you craft compelling messages that resonate with your audience. From understanding your ideal customer to mastering the art of storytelling, we’ll cover it all. I’m Megan Wisdom, a firstborn, Enneagram 5 copywriter who loves to help other female entrepreneurs reach their business goals (even more than I love drinking sweet creme lattes}. I got my writing start in the field of journalism before transitioning to the classroom where I taught students how to apply grammar rules and use the Oxford comma until I tossed the textbook and went rogue with my writing. Because copywriting is all about conversation (not complete sentences). Since studying the art and science of copywriting, I have served online women business owners in a variety of fields, helping them write or optimize the words they use to communicate to clients so they can improve sales, support their families, and crush their goals. I’ll show you how to use copy to grow and nurture your audience. And no matter whether your business is funding your son’s soccer camp or your dream vacation to Bali, I’ll show you how to use the principles of copywriting to increase conversions and boost revenue. So if you’re ready to take your online business to the next level, tune in. Together, we’ll unlock the power of copywriting and transform your business into the success you deserve.
