You are not like anyone else, so why does your website sound like everyone else? You may not actually have this problem, but Erica Comitalo is a content and copywriter who exclusively works with photographers to unlock their unique voice through written content that stands out.
She spends time listening to you talk about your clients and finding the words you naturally use to describe them. She then takes those words and crafts a subtle but effective message designed to positively repel any non-ideal clients while singing to everyone you want to work with.
Erica started out writing blogs and content but that quickly evolved into doing more brand voice related projects. Her passion is helping you connect with your ideal clients without making anyone feel judged or rejected.
I loved the positivity in Erica’s message and hearing all about her background and how she found herself working with photographers. The copywriting tips she’s sharing are also perfect for anyone struggling with the words they need for their business.
