Online Copywriting Tips for Beginners – How to Craft Killer Copy Without Really Trying

O

This is a guest post courtesy of Clare with some great tips for writing your own web copy. While it’s fab (and highly recommended) to hire a pro writer for help with your web copy (and other marketing materials), sometimes it’s simply beyond the budget.  At least for now. (Right?! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.)  When that’s the unfortunate scenario, don’t despair. You CAN be a...

How I Partially Financed My Trip Around The World With Freelance Writing

H

This guest post is brought to you courtesy of Shane Lee. Since (ahem) yours truly is a freelance writer as well (somewhat by accident too) I thought Shane’s story both a fun and inspirational one to share with you. I’d love to hear how you’ve gotten creative financing your entrepreneurial passion. Feel free to share your story in the comments below. I became a freelance writer...

Wisdom from @Copyblogger- 1000 Words Can Make You Immortal

W

Just ran across this by Copyblogger and had to share with my BGB’ers. MAD fab! And the pic that accompanies it, I found and just thought it looked really cool and all immortal-y. Heh. Anyhoo, hope you get a kick out of both and feel free to pass the graphic along to your own people and mayhap reveal Copyblogger’s awesomeness to a few new fans that haven’t yet found ’em...

3 Old School Copywriter Tricks for Finding New Ideas

This is a guest post courtesy of Derryck of BigStarCopywriting.com. (Love the spelling of his name, don’t you?) He approached me about writing a guest post for BGB, and when he offered this particular topic, I thought it a great fit and so immediately agreed. I’ve been struggling a bit myself in the creativity department, not really from lack of ideas, but lack of motivation. However...

Success as a Freelance Copywriter – the Fine Art of Planning

S

Halloooo BGB’ers! 🙂 How’s it shakin’? This is another post by guest author Chris Hoole and his take on why planning is the shiznel for freelancers. Diaries, efficiency, breaking up, not down… well, you’ll just have to read it sweetcakes and see what he has to say for yourself. Now make him feel welcome ya’ll.  You know what to do! (I hope.) Some people fall...

Communication Education- Don’t Take that Tone with Me!

C

Howdy BGB’ers… I know, you missed me. 😉   Unfortunately I’m still pretty sickly at the moment, can’t seem to shake it.   So big thanks to guest blogger Chris Hoole today for picking up my slack with this thought-provoking post on language, voice, and how it can affect your business success.   Ya’ll know what to do by now right?  Make him feel warm and welcome and all...

Writing as a Career- Are You Feeling the Creative Seduction?

W

This is a guest post from Chris Hoole. I have to agree, going pro as a writer is pretty daft. It’s not easy, it’s not always fun, and sometimes you wonder if you’re in the right line of work. However as he mentions, for many writers it’s not always a matter of choice… it’s almost a compulsion! Kind of like diarrhea of the fingers or something. Words.  Must...

Much Ado about Nothing – Is Shakespeare’s Monkey Writing Your Web Copy?

M

This is a guest post by Chris Hoole.  I wanted to publish this piece for a couple reasons. First and foremost, like Chris I am appalled at times at the quality of the web copy found on some sites.  It’s nothing but poor, regurgitated garbage, broken English, and not fit for human consumption. Pretty much as far from brilliant writing as you can wander really. Now that’s not to say...

Editor

Cori (that's me!) is a wildly hire-able freelance writer as well as the creative brains and dubious brawn behind this blog you're reading right now, My Name is Cori, & Salt, Light, and Faith. Oh and you might also call her an author. Visit C.B. Stone Books for more.

Have a question? Need a quote? Feel free to reach out via my contact page, and I'll reply as soon as possible. You can also check out my new website at MyNameisCori.com for information on content retainers and portfolio links.

The best compliment that I can pay Cori is to simply say that “she gets it”.

She works extremely hard to capture the written “voice” that will define your business. Cori intuitively knows how to deliver your message in a voice that is both creative and effective. As a newly-minted small business owner, I rely heavily on both her counsel and her expertise. And on top of all of that, she’s hilarious!
