085 REPLAY: How to Write Words that Sell with Kelsey Formost

Even if you don’t consider yourself a natural-born writer, ANYONE can learn key copywriting principles and use them to jumpstart your business. It’s one of the most valuable skills you can have!

But first, what is copywriting anyway?

Copywriting is the art and science of using words to get people to take your desired action.

It’s about helping your prospective clients feel deeply seen and heard. The more personal you get, the more connection you’ll form with your ideal customer, and ultimately, the more conversions you’ll get in your business!

My guest today, Kelsey Formost, is a copywriting expert who teaches entrepreneurs how to write words that sell. Whether you’re writing for your website, your email list, or even your social media captions, Kelsey helps you break it all down into actionable steps, demystifying the sometimes-overwhelming task of writing for your business.

Learning some key copywriting skills will definitely increase your conversions and make you a more effective communicator, but it goes deeper than just “more sales”. Kelsey’s mission is to help her students feel deeply seen and heard in the echo chamber of the internet. It’s about feeling confident and empowered every time you sit down to communicate with your audience!
