About Ashley Cook: As a survivor of corporate America, Ashley Cook knew there was more to life than a cubicle. After 13 years of sales, marketing, and analytics, the winds of change finally blew. Ashley decided it was time for new beginnings.
But she didn't want to abandon her experience. So, she repurposed it. Instead of partnering with major corporations, Ashley shifted into serving emerging brands and small business owners.
Always a lover of a good story, Ashley now partners with mission-driven entrepreneurs. She does this through copywriting, copy coaching, and retail storytelling.
Over the course of her career, Ashley has written for solopreneurs and major Fortune 500 companies. She's worked in a myriad of industries, from health and hygiene to fitness, food, and coaching. She’s developed copy for multi-million dollar brands, social media influencers, and small start-ups.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Ashley discuss:
- Importance of creating a plan
- What copywriting is and what it’s not
- Five steps to knocking out your copy
- Strategies to get your words down and out there
Key Takeaways:
- Copywriting is not what you learned in school; not the strict grammar, preposition or conjunctions
- The purpose of copywriting is to persuade someone to take an action
- Copy can repel your ideal customer because your words may not resonate with them, or you could draw in the wrong crowd
- Consider these five steps the next time you write copy: Plan, Draft, Edit, Publish, Assess
