Let’s be honest with each other… How many of us TRULY enjoy writing email newsletters? Most of us are afraid of hearing crickets after we hit send, so we put off sending anything to our subscribers who are really truly waiting to hear from us. It’s a vicious cycle we all need to break, so let’s break it today! In this episode of the Play It Brave podcast, we’re talking all things savvy subject lines and noteworthy newsletters with Laura Belgray (my copywriting idol). From subject line do’s and don’ts, to the stories our people are actually HUNGRY for… It’s all waiting on the other side of that play button. What are you waiting for?!
Laura Belgray, founder of Talking Shrimp and co-creator of The Copy Cure, is a copywriting expert who helps entrepreneurs find the perfect words to express and sell what they do in a way that gets them paid to be themselves. Through her work with hundreds of clients (including online biggies like Marie Forleo and Amy Porterfield) she’s seen firsthand that putting “you” into your copy and all through your business is pure magic for getting people to love you up, share your ideas, and happily click your Buy button.
In addition to online types, Laura’s list of clients and credits include NBC, Bravo, HBO, TBS, Fandango, and many, many more. So if you watch TV — and don’t skip the commercials — you’ve probably seen her words on air.
When many entrepreneurs think about writing, we cringe… We think that we don’t have anything exceptional or groundbreaking to write about. We think our personal stories are not noteworthy, and we talk ourselves out of it.
The truth is… People do want to know your personal stories. As long as you are compelling and truthful, this is how they know, like, and trust you.
The second truth is… The more you write, the more exceptional you’ll write. If you want to increase your output of brilliant copy, you have to increase the overall output. So here are some amazing tips that Laura shared in this podcast episode. As always, you can find even more of these golden nuggets of wisdom in the full episode.
