I have an (embarrassing) secret, dear reader. I didn’t have a website for the first FIVE years of my business. (Do I think this was the right call? No. Do I recommend it? No. Would I do it again? Also no.) And then, when I finally got around to actually building one… it was, to put it generously, a jerry-rigged, thrown-together-on-Wordpress situation that I cobbled together just to have something up. It didn’t really communicate my value. It certainly didn’t communicate what made me different. And it did little more than show I ~existed~. (Admittedly, I would argue that my current site could also use a bit of a revamp. But we’re going to save that particular existential crisis for later this year. Just let me enjoy my annual summer trip to visit the in-laws in Brazil first, okay??) Anyway. If any of this is sounding a little too familiar. If you find yourself feeling vaguely embarrassed every time someone asks for your URL (leading to the inevitable “I’m going through a rebrand so don’t look too closely at this” caveat). Or hey, even if you think your website looks pretty good but still know there’s more potential in terms of converting visitors. (i.e., More sales! More inquiries! More subscribers!) Then you’re going to want to tune in to the workshop I’m co-hosting next Monday, June 29th with Christi Cooper of Cooper & Heart Design + Branding. It’s called The 3 Cs of a Website That Converts, and it’ll bring together both the copy AND the design perspective. Join us for laughter, tears (okay fine, it won’t be that dramatic), and some tips n’ tweaks to make sure your website isn’t just sitting there lookin’ pretty… But instead is strategically built to turn visitors into leads, clients, and sales. Basically, you’re getting two experts for the price of one. Though the real joke is on us, because Christi and I made this free.
~Nicole P.S. Yup, there’s a recording available if you can’t make it live! P.P.S. Q3 is now (almost) upon us… which means I’ve got a couple o’ spots opening up for the Quarterly Copy Pass starting in July. If you write your own copy (AI-assisted or otherwise) and want expert eyes on it before you hit publish, this one’s for you. Scope it out here.

The Quarterly Copy Pass is closing in... Alright, folks. The Quarterly Copy Pass closes tomorrow. If you opened this email up, my guess is that you’re still on the fence. And totally fair! (I’m a chronic overthinker myself, so I respect the process.) So my one job in this email is to help you make the right call, whichever way that goes. You know the “this is perfect for you if…” email that shows up at this point in every launch? We’re going to do it a little differently here. Because I don’t...
The Quarterly Copy Pass is closing in... Reader, I want to introduce you to my client, Susan. Susan is a graduate of Harvard. Harvard Law School. *And* a Rhodes Scholar (with a degree from Oxford – wowza!). Today, she’s a college admissions strategist who helps high school students get into the most selective universities in the world. Her students’ acceptance rates at those schools – including big hitters like MIT and the Ivies – are about 10x (!!) the national average. And get this: before...
Oh hey Reader. A little birdie (AKA my tagging system in Kit) told me that you *haven’t* grabbed a Quarterly Copy Pass yet. Since it’s closing in 2 days (or when passes sell out, and about half are already gone), I figured I’d pop into your inbox with the questions my passholders asked most before they took the plunge. Because hey, I want YOU to feel as good about your decision to join as I’ll be to have you in. And if you’ve been thinking about it, chances are at least one or two of these...
