With more than 900 million members on LinkedIn (as of August, 2023), professionals are scanning your profile daily. Is it resonating with them and making a lasting impression or turning them away?

Debra’s goal is to eliminate the mystery and demonstrate how you can convey your thought-leadership, reap the benefits of getting engaged, and use the platform to successfully nurture deeper, more prosperous relationships.

5 Copywriting Mistakes That Cost Your Business Money AND How To Avoid Them
Are you fed up with your Web site? Frustrated because it’s not converting?
Maybe, at first, you loved the design and envisioned prospects calling . . . emailing. . . becoming loyal customers. You heard the sound of “ka-ching” in your head, but that was the only place you heard it.
Nothing happened.
Perhaps there was a “knock-knock” on your door – people visited your site – but no one was home. Visitors didn’t understand what you do or how you could help them. They took a quick peek, and left as quickly as they came (i.e. clicked onto your competitor’s site instead). AGH!
Now you’re scratching your head thinking, “what happened?” What did happen? You made one – or maybe all 5 – of the most common copywriting mistakes.
Relax! The beauty of the Internet is that you can go back, review and revise your content so that your copywriting converts to cash. But you need to know what to do. In this presentation, you won’t just hear about the mistakes, you’ll discover how to:
- Avoid them so that your content captivates, compels and converts.
- Evoke your readers’ interest in a way that tempts them to respond.
- Knock your prospects’ socks off so they say “yes, you understand me. I need what you’re offering!”
- Differentiate why a headline works for converting one prospect, but not another.
- Eliminate writing mistakes that repel people away from your web site. Get them to resonate and respond.
- Use one word that “tips readers over the edge” when it comes to motivating them to take action.
“We are ecstatic about Debra’s knowledge and ability to deliver that knowledge to our audience in such an easy to understand way, so each attendee could implement her tips immediately. Thank you Debra for making us look great. Your presentation was excellent and was jam-packed with such great information to help us all become better writers and attract the right clients to do business with us.” ~ C. Martin, Florida
