My name is Jay Crisp Crow and I have never, not ever, run out of words.
But I know it’s not the same for everyone.
One of the things I see get in women’s way often is staring at the blinking cursor of death like it’s some kind of hobby.
And that’s death to creative pursuits.
Because good copy isn’t written starting with the Headline and down to the end of a page like you’re writing an essay in a Uni exam.
Often, good copy starts with a word and then built out from the guts.
That’s what I’m offering you – the guts.
ONE WORD
Delivered to you, every day, in a monthly calendar, for 365 days of the year.
It's about that time when the year gets... sticky.
Not marketing-fun-sticky, as in: memorable.
Nearly end of the quarter, work is either bananas or crickets, the copy and branding To Do list doesn't look any further along towards To Done, and you could be losing a bit of sparkle sticky.
Unfun.
So, March at 365 Days of Copy is all about making future you a little less bogged down.
March is funnel month!
It's May. Don't forget Mother's Day for some parts of the world - but, like with all National Days, be careful and considerate of what you're posting. Mother's Day can elicit some strong feelings for some of your followers!
We're focusing on Social Media engagement this month, and what gets better engagement? Asking questions.
Let's boost your engagement (start by taking a screenshot of your current Insights on whatever your favourite socials platform is).
The arrival of June means we're halfway done with the year. (Do you feel all the way done? You're not alone, but remember: a lot can change in 6 months so let's do our best to make the rest of the year as successful, profitable, engaging, and joy-filled as possible!)
We're stepping deeper this month and into the realm of inclusion. You'll notice I didn't include National Days on this calendar because, like many folk, I'm in two minds about how I feel about days that nod to a certain issue... and then we pick up our Get Out Of Jail Free card and don't think about it again until it rolls around the next year.
The aim really should be to make inclusion a part of every business day. Every writing day. You don't have to write about inclusion to be inclusive. It's a practice, and like all practices, it takes some time and a little bit of extra effort to up your game.
This month I'll be introducing some ideas to either get you thinking, writing, or writing, posting, and sharing.
Let's do it!
