Copywriter Laura Belgray is known for teaching you how to write “non-sucky”, swipe-worthy copy by adding visual details to your writing and bringing in flair, style and your unique personality so you can generate sales through the intentional use of words. 

In this episode, Laura shares 3 practical tips for how to write e-newsletters, sales pages and opt-ins in a way that makes people buy from you after reading your work. 

in this episode Laura and I discuss:

• Tip 1: Write with “The Steven Spielberg” Test in mind. Could a movie director can bring your words to life?
• Tip 2: Journal everything you see and hear based on the details, no matter where you are.  
• Tip 3: Write about real people with kindness or change key details.   
• When can you take artistic liberty vs. when are you making a false claim?
• The important difference between “copywriting” and “copyrighting”  
• Why Laura defines copywriting as all of the words you use for your business
• The legal side of copyrighting and why Lisa believes it creates an energetic boundary
• When you should share an idea vs. when you should keep it to yourself before acting on it to protect yourself.
