In this episode, Juliet and Clinton answer the following questions: 1) Is it possible to learn how to write copy myself or should I hire Juliet? 2) How can I write my website copy so it doesn’t sound promotional? And 3) Which point of view should I use when writing my website copy, 1st, 2nd or 3rd?

1. James
"I just started an email list, but I am not sure what to send to the people on my list. I do have a blog. Do I put the entire post in my email? Can I tell than about my services as well when I send them an email. I also notice that some people have images in their email and some people just use text. Which way is best? I LOVE your show. I have learned so much from it."
2. "I’ve been working in the sexual abuse niche for 12 years now and I’m ready for a change. All my marketing is aimed at sexual abuse survivors, so how do I start to change my niche. I feel overwhelmed at all the things I would need to do!"
3. "I’ve had a successful private practice for 15 years focused on anxiety. I love my clients and my work, but I would like more diversity in what I do and to increase my income. I’ve thought of offering things online like courses or ebooks.
I know I have to market whatever I decide to do, but I don’t know the best ways to do it. I also am not clear on how much time I would need to market and how much money I need. Another concern is I don’t know what I would create. There seems that there is so much stuff out there on anxiety. Can you help with ideas?"

Thanks so much for the help."
2. "My practice has really taken off lately, but I know I need to keep marketing even when I’m busy (I have been listening to your advice for some time now!). So what do you recommend when you have limited time to do marketing and there are so many different marketing activities to choose from?"

"Greetings and thank you for the great podcast!
Other than asking people for their feedback on social media, what else can I do to learn if people find the free guide, via signing up for my mailing list, helpful?
I do MBTI Personality Type consulting and archetypal life coaching, and my clients often find it really informative how their stress is both related to their personality type and their dominant archetypes, but I don't know if my free guide concerning such is meeting people's needs. Thanks in advance,
Kristine"

"I am starting a private practice after moving back to Canada. I am struggling with how to become known so I can start to build up a clientele. I do believe the best form of advertising is by word of mouth, but you need clients in order to initiate this! I do have a website and Facebook page and my trying to network as well. Any other suggestions? Thank you!"
