Selected writing clients and features - Copywriter + Cathlyn Melvin

 

A healthy email list is the backbone of your service-based business.

Copywriter and TEDx Coach Cathlyn Melvin looks at her laptop, as she sits on a blue sofa.

When social media goes down: you can still reach your list 💪

When you launch: your promos go straight into the right inboxes 👍

When you want a quick cash injection: a warmed-up email list is the best sales tool for flash sales and other quick-revenue strategies 💳

And that all translates into more revenue in your pocket.

In fact, according to Forbes, email has the highest ROI of all marketing channels:

For every $1 you invest, you could earn $42 in revenue. 😳

But when you’re ready to ask for the sale…

Folks will only hand over their credit card IF you’ve been consistently showing up in their inbox.

And don’t you show up empty-handed, either!

For this to work, you’ve gotta:

  • share valuable messages, lessons, and tools

  • make them see you as a real, likeable human

    and also

  • show them why you’re the expert they should trust

Sound like a lot to handle?

Well, good thing you’ve got me in your pocket. I’m a literal pro. 😉

Through my signature copywriting service, Copy Mining, you get to nurture your audience the easy way — by letting me do the hard work for you.

 
 

Signature Copywriting Service:

Copy Mining

As your personal “Copy Miner,” I:

1) Sift through your existing content (social media, blogs, podcast episodes, etc.) for nuggets that can create powerful nurture emails

2) Write, format, and edit nurture emails filled with value-oriented and connection-driven content

and

3) Hand those sparkly new emails over to you so you can deliver them to your subscribers, getting them invested in YOU and ready to hand over their credit cards when you're ready to make a sale

Easy. Peasy. Crackers and cheesey.


It’s essential to nurture your list with quality emails.

Basically, “nurturing” your list means keeping in touch with your subscribers so your leads don’t go “cold.”

Nurture emails build familiarity, respect, and trust so that when you do ask for a sale, your readers are ready to click “buy” instead of “unsubscribe.”

The Copy Mining Package is a little different from most copywriting offers.

In order for the Copy Mining package to work, you need to have some content out there on the internet already (so I can “mine” it for email content!)

Let’s play a quick game of Never Have I Ever.

  • Put a finger down if you’ve NEVER written a social media post about your business.

  • Put a finger down if you’ve NEVER been a guest on a podcast (or hosted your own).

  • Put a finger down if you’ve NEVER published a blog.

  • Put a finger down if you’ve NEVER gone live on LinkedIn, IG, or Facebook.

  • Put a finger down if you’ve NEVER made a Youtube video.

I bet you’ve still got at least a couple of fingers up.

You probably already have a wealth of great ideas out there — from your IG and Tiktok feeds, to dusty old blogs, to guest spots on podcasts, to that random article you published on Medium last year . . . 

If that’s the case, the Copy Mining package might be a great way for you to intentionally nurture your email list — so they’re ready to buy when you’re ready to sell!

You can use Copy Mining to nurture basically any size list.

Everyone’s definition of “big” and “small” lists is different. What seems small to you may seem enormous to another business owner!

I recommend have at least 25 people on your list before you start investing money into having someone like me write emails for you.

But I bet with some dedication, if you’re starting from zero now, you can get up to those double-digits in just a couple of days by personally inviting the people you’re connected to on social media (as well as current and past clients)!

The majority of my copywriting clients have 3-digit lists, although some have had lists in the multi-thousands. 

No matter how many people are subscribed to your lists, it’s essential that you continue to communicate with them on a regular basis. Otherwise, when you do show up, they’ll be like, who IS this person?! and unsubscribe.

Btw, your emails will still sound like YOU.

“I’m worried about having someone else write my emails. What if it doesn’t sound like me? Can you write in my voice?”

This is the #1 concern most business owners have when it comes to hiring a copywriter.

The short answer is, yes! I can write in your voice — you’ll sound like you on your best day.

My personal copywriting process is informed not only by my training and experience as a writer and editor…

But also by my 10+ years as a professional live theatre actorwhere my job was literally to embody someone else’s physicality, energy, and voice!

This difference is one of the things my clients comment on most often, like Reneé Hughes here:

 
 
 

“How do I know if The Copy Mining Package is right for me?”

The Copy Mining Package is for established business owners who:

  • Understand the immense value of warm leads — and the importance of nurture emails that keep those leads warm instead of letting them cool off

  • Have an email list (even if it’s small)

  • Know what your business’s message is (e.g. What does your business teach? What does your audience need to believe before they buy from you? How will their lives be different after experiencing your program or service?)

The Copy Mining Package is NOT for you if:

  • You put all 5 fingers down in our game of Never Have I Ever (above). In that case, we can chat about what a more customized nurture email bundle might look like for you!

  • You don’t know what you want people to think about / learn / discover… in other words, if you don’t know what your Big Message is, you’ll want to figure that out before investing in a professional copywriter.

  • You haven’t started to grow your email list. Focus on getting 25+ subscribers before you start paying someone like me to write to them.
