The Marketing Platform I Actually Use in My Own Business (Not Just Recommend)
This search made me realize how much I desperately love Enji, the marketing software this marketer folds into my own business.
This isn’t some “I played with a free trial for three days, and now I’m an expert” review.
This is: I use Enji. I pay for Enji, and have since mid-2024. I build my marketing life inside Enji.
So let’s talk about why.
Unreasonable Hospitality: The Missing Strategy in Your Copy, Marketing, and Online Business
As a copywriter and strategist, I’ve been exploring what “unreasonable hospitality” means beyond food and service industries.
Here’s what it looks like in online business:
Should You Even Do a Black Friday Sale? A Spicy Guide to Strategy, Pricing & Copy that Doesn’t Backfire
What is the actual job of this Black Friday promotion?
Some real, solid answers might be:
“I want a quick cash injection before year-end.”
“I want more people in my world—email list, community, low-ticket ecosystem.”
“I want more book sales so I can boost my rankings and reviews. Best seller here I come!”
“I want to do something special for my existing audience as a thank-you.”
Those are all valid. Strategy loves clarity.
What Happens After You Take the Copywriting Course? (Spoiler: Copy Editing Might Be the Missing Step)
And if you’re like so many driven, bootstrapped, or just plain curious business owners, you’ve taken a course. Maybe twelve. You’ve learned the basics. You’ve practiced writing headlines. You’ve dipped your toes into conversion copy. You even learned the importance of brand voice (hallelujah).
Rad. I love that for you.
Hell, I love that for me too.
But what comes next?
Your Contact Me Page is Probably Letting You Down
I’ve seen it again and again in client sites: contact pages that collect digital dust. And worse, if you run your site through an SEO checker, that page will light up with a giant red flag: not enough words.
Search engines don’t know what to do with your lonely “Contact Me” page. Users don’t either. Which means… no clicks, no clients, no connection.
The Writing Process That Brought My Copywriting Back to Life
Copywriting is often taught as a formula: headline, pain point, benefits, call-to-action. And sure, those formulas are helpful. They give structure. They keep your copy pointed toward conversion instead of wandering into “cute but useless” territory.
But when you rely only on frameworks, your writing process can start to feel mechanical. The words tick boxes but lose their spark. And copy without spark doesn’t sell—it snoozes.
That’s where process comes in. Not the cookie-cutter process someone sold you. Your process.
Why Your Messaging Matters Just as Much in Collaborations as in Your Own Marketing
Here’s the interesting part: I’ve had collaborations in that exact space work beautifully.
I even run a whole summit steeped in that world.

Why “Technically Good” Copy Doesn’t Convert — And What Actually Does
You might’ve hired a copywriter.
Or followed all the formulas.
Or lovingly dotted every “i” on your website and sales page.
Your copy might check all the boxes.
But still? No clicks. No sign-ups. No sales.
Why?
What Is Brand Voice (and Why Your Business Desperately Needs One)
Let’s just come right out and say it:
“Brand voice” is having its main character moment.
With AI cranking out content faster than you can say “Canva caption,” the question isn’t should you define your brand voice—it’s how soon can you.
Because every founder, content creator, and small-but-mighty team eventually runs into the same sticky problem:
Lead Magnets That Actually Work (And What Most People Get Wrong)
Let’s talk about the humble lead magnet.
It’s supposed to be the gateway drug to your world—the thing that makes someone say,
“Oh hey, I like how this person thinks. Maybe I do want more of what they’re offering.”
But too often? It’s a PDF graveyard.
Another half-baked checklist.
A glorified opt-in box that screams, “I made this because someone on Instagram told me I had to.”

Your business has grown.
Your audience has shifted.
You’re juggling more clients, more complexity, maybe even a team.
(And if you’re solo again after trying to build a team… I see you, too.)

What Woodstock ’99 Teaches Us About Brand Messaging Gone Wrong
So when the news hit a few days later that Woodstock ‘99 had turned into a full-on disaster—fires, looting, assaults, complete chaos—I wasn’t shocked.

Now, with grown-up eyes and a strategist’s brain, I can see exactly what went wrong. And it’s something I see in online businesses, brand launches, and even social media strategies all the time.
The Problem With “Try This!” Marketing Advice (And What to Do Instead)
You ask for help in your mastermind, coaching call, or group chat. You’ve hit a snag in your marketing strategy, and you’re genuinely looking for clarity.
Instead? You get a firehose of ideas.
“Have you tried a webinar funnel?”
“Oh! I just saw someone launch with a live challenge—maybe that?”
“Ooh, add an open house! Worked wonders for my friend!”
It’s well-meaning. It’s enthusiastic.
And it’s a complete waste of time if it doesn’t start with one thing
