Copywriting Tips & Marketing Advice for Small Business Owners
Hi. I’m Robyn, aka the Copy Bitch. I’ve been a freelance copywriter and content marketer since 2002.
I originally started this blog to help new copywriters find their footing in a noisy, often scammy, online world.
But I realized I’ve got more to offer than just tips on writing subject lines.
Over the last two decades, I’ve worked closely with small business owners on how to market themselves: what works, what doesn’t, and what to definitely avoid.
That’s why I’ve expanded the focus of my blog. You’ll still get smart, no-BS advice about content and copy, but through a wider lens that includes digital marketing, social media marketing, AI copywriting, small business marketing, all of it.
And hey, if you’re a copywriter? This still applies. Because in the AI era, writing well is just one part of staying relevant.
Sound good? Let’s get to it.
