Your Copy's Too Safe - Here's How to Fix It (And Finally Sound Like You)
When Your Copy Evolves, So Does Your Business
In this episode, I share how shedding "safe" copy transformed my business. From sharpening your brand message to showing up as your unapologetic self, I dive into the copywriting strategies that helped me write with more clarity, confidence, and connection.
You’ll learn how to channel bold, emotionally resonant messaging that doesn't just attract your audience—it moves them to act. I break down lessons from standout copywriters and marketers like Marie Forleo, Gary Vee, and Veronica Romney, and explain how to apply these proven strategies to your emails, social posts, sales pages, and beyond.
Whether you’re still writing all your own copy or managing a team, this episode is your guide for developing a voice that feels authentic and sells.
HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ The Copy That Works Is the Copy That Feels Risky – If your message feels neutral, it’s likely you’re playing it too safe. The copy that truly resonates often feels vulnerable to write—and that’s what makes it powerful.
2️⃣ You Don't Need More Ideas, Just More Ways to Say What Matters – Inspired by Gary Vee, I explain how repeating your core messages in creative ways builds trust, visibility, and connection across platforms.
3️⃣ Identity Marketing Beats Feature-Driven Copy Every Time – Veronica Romney's concept of identity marketing reframes your messaging to reflect who your audience is becoming, not just what you’re selling. It’s a subtle shift that drives deeper resonance and more conversions.
