Nikki elledge brown – A Course About Copy

If you’re reading this page (and look! you ARE), chances are HIGH that like hundreds of bright entrepreneurs I’ve had the chance to work with:
YOU’VE GOT THE IDEAS, BUT YOU’RE STRUGGLING TO FIND THE WORDS.
What you’ve got feels boring.
Awkward.
Not YOU.
What you need is someone to help you DIY with style. Page-by-blank-white-page.
Amiright? Sweet.
BECAUSE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I DO.
And “I” am Nikki, BTW – that’s me over there biting a perfectly good No. 2 pencil. >>
Nice to meet you

“Nikki is fantastic…I absolutely love this girl. Not only does she write amazing copy for her own business, but she teaches copy in a way that you can really understand…she really breaks it down in a way that’s very doable.”

Seriously though. Any of this sound familiar?
WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING YOUR SITE + COMMUNICATING YOUR VALUE, YOU’RE:
Stuck at the starting line (in eternal draft mode).
Overwhelmed by all the possible (wildly creative or totally strategic) ways you could approach each page.
Unsure how much to share, where to share it, and how to share it in a way that make sense.
SO. tired of making excuses + “it’s not done yet!” disclaimers (because you KNOW it’s not doing anything for you).
YOU *WANT* TO BECOME A BETTER WRITER BECAUSE YOU:
Realize that YOU need to be your own best spokesperson – in life and in business.
Don’t want to pay thousands of dollars to wait for someone to write or update a page, offer, or opt-in you may want to change next week.
Believe that as the voice of your business your audience wants to hear from YOU.
Understand that effective communication leads to more customers, more profit, more confidence, and more CHOICES. (And as a boss, you like choices.)
ORRR MAYBE YOU JUST THINK IT’D BE FUN TO LEARN FROM + WITH! A WORD NERD LIKE ME.
(That’s perfectly legit too.)
IF ANY OF THE ABOVE DESCRIBE YOU, KEEP ON READING.

“ACAC is a course every online business owner needs NOW! I used to be a copywriter myself, but writing my own site felt like climbing Everest. With Nikki’s help I’ve written a site that my crowd adores (twice!) and will continue to revisit every time I craft any comms to my peeps. Everyone needs ACAC in their pocket!”
– Laura Husson
Co-Founder, Husson Media
I’ve got a (fun) solution for all that.
It’s called A Course About Copy,
and it’ll help you write a site that:
1. Attracts your dream clients
2. Connects with them in a meaningful way
3. Makes it easy for them to buy from you
And THAT looks like:
MORE PROFIT
Because money loves clarity, and so do potential customers.
LESS STRESS
No guesswork. I’ll walk you through EVERY. PAGE. of this baby.
MORE TIME
To do what you love (like working with all these new clients!).
LESS FRUSTRATION
No more blank white screens. Unless you just like blank white screens.
MORE CONFIDENCE
In conversations, public speaking, videos, and being a human in general.
And you literally don’t have to take my word for it:

What’s covered in the lessons?
Lesson 1LESSON 1:
WRITING FOR DREAM CLIENTS
Before you start throwing words up on the page, you’ve gotta get clear on the basics. In Lesson 1, we’ll cover the mindset stuff that keeps SO many people from writing their sites – like writer’s block, perfectionism, self-sabotage, and the fear of (constructive) feedback. Once that’s covered, we dig right into practical strategies on how to be clear, credible, conversational, and connected.

WORDROBE ESSENTIALS
Putting great outfits together is much easier when you’ve got classic WARDROBE essentials like a great pair of jeans, crisp white shirt, and little black dress at the ready. The same can be said for your WORDROBE essentials. In Lesson 2 we’ll pinpoint WHAT you’re offering, WHY you’re offering it, and WHO you actually want to offer it TO. (I’ll also share my #1 tip for getting your WHO’s attention….without ever leaving your couch.)
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.19.34 PMLESSON 3:
THE ONE SENTENCE
The right kind of prep doesn’t make you sound like a cheeseball; it makes you sound like a professional. In Lesson 3, I’ll share my tried-and-tested exercise for crafting a clear, concise answer to the Q many entrepreneurs DREAD: “Soooo, what do you do?” BONUS: Once you’ve got your sentence down, we’ll style it up so you can share it with confidence whether you’re in line at the grocery store or happily stuck in the elevator with a big whig in your industry.
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.21.16 PMLESSON 4:
HOME PAGE HOSPITALITY
Your website isn’t just your storefront; it’s your digital home. And we all know the value of a great first impression. As the host(ess) here, it’s YOUR job to lead the way for your visitors and help them know exactly where you want them to go next. In Lesson 4, I’ll walk you through creating your entire home page (from header to footer) so you know how to help the RIGHT visitors click around and stay a while.
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.24.05 PMLESSON 5:
ENOUGH ABOUT ME
The about page is the #1 concern of most folks I work with. In Lesson 5, we’ll cover how to avoid TMI and exactly what you SHOULD (or shouldn’t) share to help people get to know, like, and trust the REAL you. After that, I’ll walk you through my world-famous About Page Recipe – five steps to introduce yourself (and your business) in a way that leaves people wanting to know MORE.
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.24.17 PMLESSON 6:
BLOG LIKE YOU MEAN IT
The heart of Lesson 6 is about making a connection through your regular content. If you want to actually enjoy that process, you’ve got to find a system that works for YOU. In this one we’ll talk about topics, format, and frequency – then we’ll dig into clickable headlines, “open-me” email subject lines, and easy ways to get MORE quality conversation going on your blog.
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.24.49 PMLESSON 7:
WORK WITH ME (NO, REALLY.)
Once you’ve built relationships ‘n’ credibility, the natural next step is to tell people how they can work with you. In Lesson 7 I’ll tell you the four things EVERY prospective client wants to see on your sales page(s), and exactly how to give it to them using my nine-step recipe. We’ll cover how to share your rates with confidence, and I’ll share my favorite ways to “filter” for dream clients.
Screen Shot 2014-08-19 at 10.25.02 PMLESSON 8:
BEST OF THE REST
While the A-Team pages often get all the attention, it’s the “little” pages that can make the biggest difference in your day-to-day ops + relationship-building. In Lesson 8 I’ll share the WHY + HOW behind social proof, giving back, legal, contact, resources, thank you, and even 404 pages that represent YOU and help your visitors feel connected, protected, and cared for.
