Content writing. Copywriting. Same diff right?

Not quite.

The difference between content writing and copywriting comes down to how they’re written. The end goal of the writing affects how the writer creates the piece and the skills needed to do

Why I’m quitting traditional buyer personas.

“Once I figure out what to do with my dining room table, I’ll be free to move.”

But what sort of impact does a table have on a major life decision like buying a condo?

“I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.”

^^ Monica Lewinsky at a Women’s Day presentation I attended in 2017.

Yes, that Monica Lewinsky. The woman who, by some POVs, almost brought down Bill Clinton’s presidency because she kept a certain blue dress.

Her presentation was so well crafted on the subject of cyber bullying, I couldn’t stop watching. But it also felt like a warning: visibility can be bad. Making yourself into a household name might not be the business windfall you think

How to write a landing page for problem-aware visitors

All the optimizing in the world can’t fix a landing page that doesn’t match your visitor’s expectations.

With the rising cost of PPC campaigns and the mad competition of organic search, the wrong messaging (especially at the top of the funnel) will lead to higher bounce rates than Ice Cube in the 90s.

God that’s a solid reference. Anyway…

Landing pages should never be a one-size-fits-all experience.

Presenting the same message to everyone — cold traffic, warm traffic, email subscribers, long-time customers — is a good way to come across as tone-deaf.
