Don’t write every day. Instead: - Write 3 posts/week = that’s 156 posts/year - Write 300 words/week = that’s 15,600 words/year - Write for 60 mins/week = that’s 3,120 mins/year As James Clear says: “Small habits don’t add up - they compound. Tiny changes can lead to remarkable results.” Write at your own pace, but write ✌️ P.S...over 4,500 people have read my new 35 page social copywriting book. Join them here → Matt Barker. Link in bio.

Wednesday reminder: It’s not about being the most smart - it’s about being the most confident. Writing online isn’t exclusively for experts.

Super useful workflow.
The number 1 challenge for all copywriters: Turning hours of interviews into actionable insights. - Noisy cafes that ruin the audio quality - Annoyingly inaccurate transcripts - Wasting time manually finding interesting quotes The result? Stressful deadlines and missing the juicy ideas. Here’s what I did instead: 1. Hopped on a call with my target audience (7-fig CEO) 2. Recorded the call using Rev (from a noisy cafe, too) 3. Got a 99.9999% perfect transcription of the call 4. Used the AI assistant to pinpoint the insights they mentioned 5. Turned those insights into proven content ideas Boom. 60 minute call → 10+ content ideas, in minutes. Stop wasting time finding ideas. Start letting tools (like Rev) find them for you. Less stress → faster writing → better writing. p.s. to save hours manually trawling through interviews, you need a great transcriber. Rev IS that transcriber if you want to save hours of time: https://lnkd.in/e3FU9HFS You can get started for £0.

If you feel stressed out or pressured by the need to post daily as a creator, you don’t even have to post daily. The only reason I’ve ever recommended posting daily is because I love writing daily and it’s fun. Don’t stress over it if you don’t. Just go for a walk, get a pumpkin spiced latte, read atomic habits or something. (whatever the cool kidz do you know) Have a nice day and forget about posting daily :) But if you do want to post daily? And you want to use posting daily to make more money for your business?

Wake up Open phone Decide to write a post Look for inspiration Think of a “cool” idea Start writing Delete, re-write, delete, re-write Doubt your own writing abilities Tell yourself nobody cares about what you have to say anyway Delete the post And that my friends, is how to make sure you never become a better writer.

I wrote a copywriting book, but I’m weird. I called it “The Social Copywriting Bible”. Here’s the 13 year story behind why: Now, I know what you might be thinking… "Why the hell is it called The Social Copywriting Bible...? Isn't that a bit...preachy/religious/Jesus-y." Well yes, it kind of is. But I didn't name it from a place of being preachy/religious/Jesus-y. I named it that because 13 years ago I started my first office job. 8 figure/year company, massive in the UK among over 60s selling plants and seeds in the post. (I was 17 at the time so I didn’t have a clue who they were) My first proper job: answering phones on customer service. But after 6 months, my boss saw I was quick at taking orders. Speed = more orders in a day. More orders in a day = more revenue per day. I was good, so they offered me a job in marketing. That’s where I started enjoying: - Analysing data - Making money - Selling things My new boss was brilliant and someone I saw as a mentor for several years and has had a huge impact on how I run my own business today. The company’s bread and butter was catalogues. (believe it or not, the website was still an up and coming revenue channel lol i feel old) But we had another revenue channel: Newspaper ads. We spent a lot of money every month on space in national newspapers with 600k+ daily print circulations. And these ad spaces were great for: - Brand awareness - Revenue driving - Clearing surplus stock It was a business in itself. Here’s the funny thing though: We ran it all using ONE excel sheet. ONE excel sheet with: - Publication names - Available dates - Space free - Ad cost The name of that excel sheet? The Bible. It guided everything we did and was a constant reference point. We used it every day. And it was saved on our desktops. Without it, we’d have been lost. So, why call my book The Social Copywriting Bible? That’s why. Because when it comes to writing your social content and turning your social media account into a sales machine: - You can use it as a reference point every day - Bookmark, save and keep to guide you - A daily source for writing, strategy, systems Join 1,504 business owners and grab it here free: https://lnkd.in/e9cEFHXB p.s. are you one of the 1,504 who has it?
