Do you have trouble writing for your business?
Maybe it’s a blog post idea you can’t seem to get from your brain to the keyboard.
Or a sales page that makes you feel like a carnival barker.
Or even an email to an influencer, potential client, or journalist—the kind of person who could help your business if only you knew what to say to them.
And don’t even get started on case studies and testimonials—it takes too much bravery to even ask, much less guide them on what to say! Right?
What would it feel like if you knew the basic framework to confidently write the blog posts, website pages, and emails to grow your business?
No more stress.
No banging your head against your keyboard.
And no more worrying you’ll say the wrong thing.
