It’s surreal alright. I’ve been on the Copyhackers / Joanna Wiebe’s mailing list for years. I’ve read emails about Joanna’s background, about conversion copywriting, about success stories Copyhackers has been part of… And I’ve read emails that have sent me...

5 free resources that’ve made me a better copywriter
You can easily spend a fortune on copywriting training. I have. But I’ve also learned a lot from resources that haven’t cost me anything - other than my time and attention. Here’s what they are… 1. Copyhackers Tutorial Tuesdays It’s pretty amazing what...
We just won Best Digital Marketing Team! (What? What?? WHAT???)
First, I’m gonna admit I’m buzzed right now, so this post may contain more exclamation points than I usually deem acceptable. (It’s also not helping that I woke up hours earlier than normal and I’m currently on my third cup of coffee.) The reason I was up early was to...
The secret to getting your personal brand right, and making life easier
This is probably the most dressed up Frank and I have ever been. The occasion: our wedding day, 2015. But on normal days, we’re just not the type to get all fancy looking. When we started working together, we kept saying to each other “we’re not suit and tie people,...
Someone tries to break into my home every day

I couldn’t figure out why my polite offer made them grumpy with me
Just after I moved to Ireland I got a job in a cheese shop. A few weeks into the job, I noticed I was having the same confusing interaction with several different customers. It would occur just after I had prepared their cheese for them. …Slight pause here to say I...
“You absolutely have to get this 100% right”…are words we’ll never say to you
Some things you have to do meticulously ‘by the book’ in order to succeed. Good haircuts require a lot of know-how, as many of you found out while the salons were closed. Making a croissant from scratch without a recipe? Good luck winging that. Filling in your tax...
It won’t always be a cake walk, but it’s worth showing up
We hear variations of this sentence a lot: “I had meant to do my social media updates, but the week was mad busy and I never got the chance.” We’ll admit, it’s not always from clients. Sometimes it’s one of us saying that sentence. Look, we know maintaining a presence...
