Write Personality-Driven, Persuasive Content That Convinces People To Buy Your Stuff Without Analysis Paralysis, Imposter Syndrome, Or "Writer's Block."

You know how you want to splash onto the internet with glowly, glittering prose that will mesmerize any reader, cause them to stop scrolling and look at your message with pumping crimson hearts bulging out of their eyeballs?

And you know how you want every word to strut into a room to the beat of a sick 1990s hip hop rock collab showing off that black dress blog to the envy and admiration of everyone who lays eyes on you?

Here’s the thing— People buy from personalities, not AI generated copy.

This is important to remember when you’re trying to checkmark your content production because how you say something is more important than what you say.

It makes the difference between no sales and WHOA SALES!

And you’re going to have to decide how you want your business to show up in the minds of others. How you want them to perceive your business and you.

You Just Can’t Be Boring. Have you SEEN the wart truffles on social media these days? The absolute dandelion sludge puppies throwing out their interpretations of high brow yuck fests. Dumpster cupcakes literally arguing about the color of blue in between the seams of Taylor Swift’s red dress. You got people with stainless steel stakes protruding from their skulls going live on Tik Tok to talk about the psychological impact Pokeman had on them when they were twelve. There are women selling pliable plastic toys with pimple problems that you buy just to pop their fake zits. The world is officially insane. And you’re worried about showing your face on camera? I know, I know. You have the “I’m too overweight. I don’t want to be criticized for being fat” problem: I have a ton of helpful information that could benefit a lot of people— but no one will believe I’m credible because they’ll think I’m not self-disciplined because I’m not fit. Or the “self-conscious of my looks” problem: I have severely protruding buck teeth and I hate smiling much less talking to people. Why would I put that out there just to be mocked?” Or the “I’m an introvert” problem: I’m shy and get nervous when trying to figure out what to say in front of a camera. I’m afraid I’ll look stupid. OR, the “nobody cares what I have to say” problem: No one knows I exist and nobody is buying my stuff. I GET IT. Putting yourself out there can drag out all the insecurity demons and shine a spotlight on them for the world to see. I’ve seen a man who was attacked by dogs missing his nose and upper lip. Nothing but a gaping hole in there. He could have decided to hide in his house for the rest of his life, assuming he had no value to give and was no longer worthy of love because of what he looked like. Instead? He’s out there showing his actual face. He is motivating and inspiring thousands on Tik Tok with his message. And that has made him attractive as heck. Sometimes being significant is simply being willing to put yourself out there in front of an audience for THEIR benefit (not yours). Sometimes, it’s about the greater sacrifice for the greater good of making their lives better at the expense of your own discomfort. Look, people are naturally voyeurs. We are curious about how others live. That’s why no matter how weird or boring these Tik Tok users show up, we inevitably find ourselves watching them for longer than we’d like to admit. Don’t allow your self-conscious feelings prevent you from showing up to complete your calling. Your self-perception is never what everybody else sees. Most of the time, you see yourself worse than others see you. (We often forget that, don’t we?) That’s why they tell you to fake it until you make it. Act confident until you feel confident. However, consistency is the secret weapon. Showing up confidently consistently is the magic sauce that will allow you to overcome the fear of showing up publicly– whether that’s on video or in your written content. You have been given gifts in this life. And you have been called to speak up despite your insecurities. Whatever those insecurities are, they don’t excuse you from carrying out your God-given mission. You have people to help. There is no option to sit this life game out. You are expected to get out on the field and play. BUT I HAVE GREAT NEWS: Your audience will forgive a lot if you’re good at at least one of two things– being entertaining or informative. Know why? Because both give a release of “feel good” hormones in their bodies. They feel pleasure when they see and read your content (if you have created your content in the right way). If you can be both entertaining and informative? Well, then you’ve hit the jackpot, my sexy sombrero. In fact, there are 13 creative writing techniques I teach you how to use in Creative Writing 2 Ca$h– and every single one of them are designed to make your content both entertaining and informative, no matter what you’re writing about. EVEN PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS (No, for real– these baddies will BANG-O-RANG any dull content into a splendid sparkler of goodie gladness. I’m telling you– this mastermind is a fireworks show) The most magnificent part? You can pick this up pronto and use it immediately in any piece of content– video, audio, blogs, articles– you name it. It’s suuuper easy to implement. So much so that I used to teach these techniques to my middle school students to use on their state test essays–and they actually used them! The reason you freeze up when creating content and feel like an imposter princess at a flea market is because you have expectations for yourself. You require that you put out the best of yourself, and you know what looks good and what looks like 30-day old ground beef gravy. That’s what brings on the immense frustration when you know what expectation you have but your work isn’t living up to it. You’re disappointed in your content. It doesn’t bring you pride. It doesn’t represent the badassery that’s inside you. And then the analysis paralysis, imposter syndrome, perfectionism and “writer’s block” gang sweep in to face-plant you on the ground, pinned down unable to move forward. Or worse, they give you just enough room to write something that doesn’t get results. No clients. No sales. No followers. No bueno. This is THE numero uno problemo in our field. It’s the murderer of magic. The doubter of dreams. The internet is fueled by messaging and yours is tanking. And that’s NOT something you can afford when those words need to manifest milk in your fridge every month. But what if you accepted your faults? What if you embraced every jaded little wrinkle, every crooked tooth, every chubby cheek? And what if HOW you delivered your message was more important to your audience than what you looked like? What if every boring line, every piece of mediocre content was instantly given a face lift?  What if you immediately and instantly knew what to change, how to design, and how to shape every piece of content without the toxic fumes of imposter syndrome breath spewing over your shoulder? What if you were encouraged to write awful content so that you had “clay” to “mold” into brilliant content?  What if there was no such thing as failing at this content creation thing because the fail safe was in the bag? And what if you had one of the inter web’s most polarizing writers, who has literally built her brand around saying exactly what the helicopter you want to say unapologetically with bravery and courage, and is quite literally the biggest blast of a writing coach to have around (not to mention HUGELY MODEST too)… to show you exactly how to create content that kills? If your message is powerful, your audience will follow you like fanatics. If you can inspire them to change their own lives, they will fight each other just to get next to you. And they will stop what they’re doing to look for you the next time you show up on line. And the next. And the next. Because if the weirdo on Tik Tok who lights his ass hairs on fire for “likes” can gain a million followers, surely you can get out of your own way to go live in the name of changing people’s lives…and your own in the process. Creative Writing 2 Ca$h is the way to make any piece of content instantly attractive.  Check it out!

You Can Be Fat, Dumb, Ugly, & Stupid. You Just Can't Be Boring.

Have you SEEN the wart truffles on social media these days?

The absolute dandelion sludge puppies throwing out their interpretations of high brow yuck fests. Dumpster cupcakes literally arguing about the color of blue in between the seams of Taylor Swift’s red dress.

You got people with stainless steel stakes protruding from their skulls going live on Tik Tok to talk about the psychological impact Pokeman had on them when they were twelve. There are women selling pliable plastic toys with pimple problems that you buy just to pop their fake zits. The world is officially insane.

And you’re worried about showing your face on camera?

I know, I know. You have the “I’m too overweight. I don’t want to be criticized for being fat” problem:

I have a ton of helpful information that could benefit a lot of people— but no one will believe I’m credible because they’ll think I’m not self-disciplined because I’m not fit.

Or the “self-conscious of my looks” problem:

I have severely protruding buck teeth and I hate smiling much less talking to people. Why would I put that out there just to be mocked?”

Or the “I’m an introvert” problem:

I’m shy and get nervous when trying to figure out what to say in front of a camera. I’m afraid I’ll look stupid.

OR, the “nobody cares what I have to say” problem:

No one knows I exist and nobody is buying my stuff.

I GET IT. Putting yourself out there can drag out all the insecurity demons and shine a spotlight on them for the world to see.

I’ve seen a man who was attacked by dogs missing his nose and upper lip. Nothing but a gaping hole in there.
