I’ve been a copywriter for creatives for 4+ years now, and I’ve learned in that time that there are so many beautiful creative souls who desire to be able to write their own copy with confidence. I love helping you by providing ongoing resources and education on the blog, so I decided to round up all my resources to support you if you’re at this stage.
But first, let me provide a few pieces of guidance for if you’re on the journey of DIYing your own copy for your creative business; whether you desire to write your own website or become your own best copywriter in all areas of your business, I genuinely believe that’s possible with a bit of practice and dedication to your craft (and bringing in a pro when you need a second set of eyes)
To effectively DIY your copy for your business, you don’t need to be a professional copywriter… but you do need to be a writer in the sense that you enjoy (or desire to enjoy) the practice of writing.
Ask yourself the following:
- Am I willing and interested in learning more about copywriting and marketing practices that will help me effectively communicate with my audience?
- Do I have the time and energy to do so?
- Do I want to?
And if your answer is yes, then great!
You have the potential to be the best copywriter for your business – because no one knows your brand or voice better than you do.
