As a business owner, it’s tempting to try and do all the things from creating your graphics to social media posts and even DIY website copy.
Research shows that SME owners and executives spend a weekly average of 16 hours completing administrative tasks and duties. Content creation can fall under this category eating away hours of your time as you struggle to write the content and then try to figure out how to set it up in your business.
Risk? The content doesn’t perform the way you expected, which means precious hours wasted with little ROI to show for it. So, if you aren’t yet ready to hire ..read more

Why the search term ‘copywriter’ is a minefield
Occasionally, I’ll research my competitors to find what they are up to. However, finding a copywriter competitor seems to have become much harder!

Picture this: you’re walking into a party, and you’re not quite sure who’s attending.
What do you do?
Do you just start randomly chatting away, hoping someone will connect with what you’re saying? Probably not. Just like at that party, in the business world, it’s important to know your audience before you start speaking with them.
You can do this by creating a customer profile for your business.
Who is your ideal client?
If we sat down today, and I asked you to tell me everything you know about your ideal customer, how much could you tell me? Can you go into detail about why they buy from you ..read more
