6 Copywriting Mistakes You're Probably Making


Listen Later

I’m here to tell you you DON’T need to be a professional copywriter or even a natural writer to DIY your copy. Of course, hiring a professional is easier, but it’s expensive, so if you’re not there yet, I’ve got some tips that will hopefully help you to write confident, effective and on-brand copy in the meantime. These are the mistakes that I see ALL the time when it comes to copy, and the biggest traps that I fell into... before I knew what I was doing. 

It’s not always going to be easy to write your own copy — and you will stare at the blinking cursor a lot — but if you can at least focus on avoiding these mistakes, you’ll be so much better off. 

In this episode, I cover: 

  • Features vs. benefits 
  • Connecting with your audience
  • Defining your tone of voice
  • Planning your messages 
  • The overthinking trap 
  • My favourite trick for great copy
