6 Copywriting Mistakes You’re Probably Making

I’m here to tell you you DON’T need to be a professional copywriter or even a natural writer to DIY your copy. Of course, hiring a professional is easier, but it’s expensive, so if you’re not there yet, I’ve got some tips that will hopefully help you to write confident, effective and on-brand copy in the meantime. These are the mistakes that I see ALL the time when it comes to copy, and the biggest traps that I fell into... before I knew what I was doing.
