043 - Here's something they don't teach you in school: how to write a compelling, high-converting website for your business. And without that critical copywriting know-how, trying to conjure up words for your website can cause your brain to melt. It's painful.

In this week's episode, I chat with fellow pet photographer and copywriter for the pet industry Kim Wishcamper. She shares some essential ingredients for an effective website, and gives us real-world examples of what to write to win over potential customers. Loads of actionable info in this episode!

What To Listen For:

A simple way to reduce your bounce rate
The subtle shift in your website copy that makes a dramatic difference
Specific examples of sentences edited to be more powerful
Why no one cares about your styrene-mounted prints!
Which punctuation marks to embrace and which to avoid (yep, it matters)
Formatting tips to make your visitors linger longer

You'll also find a handy checklist linked in the show notes below, with tips from our convo plus a few extras. Use it to audit your website and see which copy improvements you can make.
