7-Second Thoughts September 13, 2024

The best writer for your business

is one that guarantees – long after you’ve stopped paying them – that you can write about your business better than a so-called professional could ever hope to. 

TL;DR—The single best writer for your business

By. A. Mile. 

Is you. 

If you disagree, we can discuss at a later date

But more words have been spilled on that matter

In this here newsletter

Than I care to mention

But it bears repeating doubling down on:

If you’re searching for the perfect writer

Maybe don’t search for “copywriter”

And start with something like coach or consultant instead

Why?

You’ll never be satisfied

Your website, your social posts, your sales pages, your emails

Having that stuff done while you sit back and wait for it

Is like waiting to get huge muscles

While someone works out for you

Or works out while you watch

But I wouldn’t bench press like that!

This is what the kids are doing:

And I have to say, it’s kind of awesome.

Instead of hiring out

Please don’t say hire in, please don’t say hire in

People are hiring

Someone to teach them

And work with them

1 on 1 

To learn what they need to learn

Well enough

To stop paying for it 

Part of the fun

And use that skill

To actually grow their business.

Writing just happens to be one of those skills

That’s sort of new again

That people are starting to realize 

Can actually grow their business

If

And only if

The person who’s teaching you

Is on the hook 

For making sure that when your time together is done

You

Are a better writer for your business

Than a professional

Could ever hope to be.  

I’m here,

Kevin
