In this episode of Your Loving Kick in the Pants, I shared a story from my book Becoming Boss Minded about how to write copy that actually converts. Even if writing isn’t your main focus, I explained why learning how to guide people’s decisions is so powerful. We talked about how stepping just a little outside your comfort zone, what I call “finding the edge”, is the key to getting results, whether you’re selling, persuading, or just asking people to take action.

I walked through the steps of building great marketing messages, from creating an attention-grabbing headline and subtitle, to connecting with people on a personal level by naming their problems and showing that you understand them. I also explained how to clearly present the solution, share testimonials, and use strategies like urgency, bonuses, and a strong call to action to help people decide. By the end, listeners learned a clear process they can use to write better copy and influence others in an authentic way.

Key Topics Covered:

• Why copy that converts matters, even when you’re not in marketing

• “Finding the edge” – taking small steps outside your comfort zone

• How AI has changed copywriting and why people still need real skill

• Writing strong headlines and subtitles that grab attention

• Building connection and showing you understand your audience

• Naming pain points and showing empathy before giving a solution

• Presenting your solution, its benefits, and giving it a clear name

• Using proof: testimonials, trust, and what makes you different

• Creating urgency, adding bonuses, and handling objections early

• Ending with a clear call to action so people know what to do next
