If you enjoy novellas or short stories, I’ve recently published three that I finished this month.
These are all clean reads that are suitable for teens and up.
Two teens’ summer vacation at the beach is turned upside down when a young mermaid appears and asks them for help to get home. The Navy’s sonar testing is at it again; this time, it’s pushed poor Coral way off course and too far from home. Her sense of direction isn’t working. Almost out of hope, Coral spots two teenagers on the beach in Ocean City, MD, and takes a chance at asking them for help. Temple Banks and her friend Brad initially don’t believe their eyes and ears, but Coral quickly teaches them that mermaids do exist and, as marine mammals, they can suffer the same sonic disruptions as dolphins and whales. Unable to convince her father to help, Temple relies…
So…this happened lol I was approached for an interview for this copywriter magazine and accepted. I wasn’t sure if they’d use mine but they did. I’m actually blushing right now lol Check me out on Page 5.
Thank you Barefoot Writer Magazine for contacting me! 🙂
I wanted to do something short and sweet tonight because I haven’t done my little workout yet, and it’s pretty late, so let’s get into this real quick…
Reasons you need a copywriter’s help:
You are starting a new business and need copy for your website
Your current website isn’t getting enough traffic
You want to add blogs to your website, but you either don’t have time to write, or you don’t think writing is your strength
You need ads for your company’s social media pages
You’re launching a new product or service, and you want a high-converting landing page
You want to tell your business story but can’t find the right words
You don’t have time to run your business and create ads
You want to put out a monthly newsletter to your clients
You want to share news about your company through an email newsletter
These are just a sampling of the reasons you may need a professional copywriter.
Working with a copywriter saves you time, builds your business, and keeps you in front of your clients. If you need high-quality copy for all of the above and more, contact me. I am available for one-off jobs as well as on retainer for monthly assignments. Let’s get it done!
If you’re in the market for a copywriter, you should understand what you bring to the table is critical if you expect your copywriter to produce the results you need.
Copywriters do plenty of research. More importantly, they rely on you to provide information specific to your business, service, or product to gain your perspective. Your copywriter may provide you with a questionnaire to find out more about your company, you, and your objectives. As a client, filling out that questionnaire is not a courtesy on your part; it’s a responsibility. If you expect your copywriter to give you their best work, your input is critical to what your copywriter will produce for you. Even if you only have notes or information you’ve written yourself, these are resources for your writer.
Imagine if someone asked you to make them the best western omelet on the planet but only hands you a dozen eggs to make it.
Yes, this is a good analogy because that is what you’re asking of your copywriter when you only provide them with a link to outdated information and don’t answer their questions. If you don’t already have a website or any pre-written information about your product or service, they rely on you to either fill out their questionnaire or provide information that details the reason why consumers would benefit from your offerings. You know your business better than anyone. By sharing your goals and expectations you are igniting the writer’s imagination. We love your feedback!
Another significant factor is the scope of work.
Copywriters base their fees on the scope of the assignment. Is this for a blog post? A website? A sales or product page? A landing page? From there, we break down the amount of time, research, and writing that will be necessary to provide you with the finished product. Coming to the table with your plan in place or at least your ideas and concepts will save you and your copywriter a great deal of time that can be better used in gathering information for the project. You can never give your copywriter too much information. We’re experts at panning through info to find those golden nuggets!
Here are a few examples of questions your copywriter will most likely ask:
What is the name of your business or product?
How long have you been in business?
What made you choose this business or product?
How can your company or product help people solve a problem?
Who is your target customer? (Demographic)
Why should someone choose you over your competition?
What is your main objective for this writing project?
There are plenty more but you get the idea. If you don’t know the answers to these, how can your copywriter?
If you want quality writing that engages, excites, and interests your reader enough to want to pick up the phone or fill out a form or buy your product or service, you must be willing to participate in the process. By coming to the table prepared, questions answered, and clear ideas and objectives, the odds that your copywriter will produce the results you need will go up measurably. Creating the copy you want is a team effort.
Let’s work together and create something we can both be proud of that gets you the results you want. You bring the eggs and ham, we’ll bring the peppers and onions, and together, we’ll whip up a feast.
