The Power of Good Copy: Why Your Words Matter (and How I Can Help)

We’ve all been there, staring at a blinking cursor, trying to write a website headline, a social media post, or a product description that actually sounds like us and connects with our audience. The truth is, copywriting isn't just about writing, it's about communicating clearly, emotionally, and with purpose.

In today's online world, your words often are your first impression. And if you're a small business, the right copy can mean the difference between someone clicking away or becoming a loyal customer.

Where My Love of Copywriting Began

For me, great writing has always been about storytelling that makes people feel something.

As a community journalist, I wrote for and about people who lived in the same small towns I did, people whose stories deserved to be told with honesty and heart. Later, I took that passion a step further by founding and publishing Spirit of the North Magazine, where I combined journalism, photography, and editorial storytelling to celebrate life in Canada.

Now, as a professional copywriter and content strategist, I bring that same passion and precision to small businesses who want to stand out, stay consistent, and grow with confidence.

Why Good Copywriting Matters More Than Ever

Your brand’s message is too important to leave to chance (or ChatGPT). When your copy is strong, you:

✅ Build trust with your audience✅ Communicate your value clearly✅ Increase conversions, sales, and engagement✅ Strengthen your SEO and visibility✅ Create a consistent, professional brand presence

Whether it's your homepage, about page, blog post, or Instagram bio every word matters.

3 Free Tips for Writing Better Copy

If you're doing your own copywriting for now, here are a few ways to make it stronger:

1. Write Like You Talk

People buy from people. Don’t overcomplicate things with jargon or “corporate-speak.” Talk to your audience like a real human and they’ll respond like one.

2. Start with the Problem, End with the Solution

Good copy solves a problem. Show your reader that you understand their struggle and then explain how your product or service makes life better.

3. Use Headlines to Guide the Reader

Break up your copy with clear, helpful headlines that make it easy to skim. Bonus: headlines are also great for SEO!
