Copy That Compels: How to Write Marketing Copy that Sounds like a Real Human and Actually Converts
by Samantha Siffring

Not a writer but still have to use words to market your business? This book is for you.

Let’s face it, if you have a small business, you have to market it. People have to know that you exist, and understand that the thing you offer is the thing they want. Words are how you communicate that - and regardless of if they’re written or spoken, they are technically “copy.”

(Look at that… you’ve been a writer all this time and didn’t even know it!)

When it comes to marketing, even the most down to earth and unfiltered person can accidentally morph into a sales robot, producing content that sounds like everyone else and doesn’t stand out… or worse, freezing up and not creating anything at all.

Copy That Compels is your escape hatch out of writer’s block and boring content. This book gives you tools and techniques to help you tap into who you really are - and speak straight to the heart of your ideal client.

Which leads to…

  • A growing audience of your best people 
  • Increased engagement on the content you share 
  • Ideal clients blowing up your DMs 
  • Discovery calls booked Clients signed 
  • And more money made

 And I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what you want.
