It's only been in the past 8 years or so that I've begun to turn my survival skills into powerful marketing strengths for my clients.Might sounds strange. But it's true. The worst days of my life prepared me to be the BEST copywriter.I HEAR you better than you can hear or see yourself or your business.No tricks of the trade. (I don't know any.)  I'm not hampered by theory. I've seen what works and I bring that right to you.By being the eyes, ears and heart of your audience, I'm able to see what you are blind to in your business. (Hint: it's not about confidence or clarity. It's about being an outsider with ears to hear and eyes to see!)I see your brilliance much more clearly than you do! And it's my greatest pleasure to turn the spotlight on what you bring to the world--what is marketable, profitable and needed by your audience.I translate your heart message into profitable copy all in your personality and voice. I take what you bring to the world and translate it into what your audience needs from you.Podcast TranscriptBrian Basilico: So I have to be honest with you guys, one of the challenges that I have is writing.
