Travis Makes Money 563: Kira Hug | Copywriting For Jasmine Star, James Wedmore, and More
Copywriting has to be one of the most important factors in the success of the launch of a business. Today, I have one of the best in the business, Kira Hug. Kira helps small business owners and SaaS companies sell their ideas, products, services, and programs through copy that creates meaningful conversation. She’s unique in her approach because she allows business owners to ‘own their weird,’ and be fully true to themselves. She is also the co-host of the Copywriter Club Podcast.
I can’t wait to hear more from Kira’s story and learn more about winning copywriting that successfully launched for names like Jasmine Star and James Wedmore.
