I’m not a naming savant.
Naming programs, modules, webinars, strategies, you name it, is actually my very least favorite task as a copywriter.
The Golden Trio Naming Method works precisely because I’m NOT a natural.
I had to find a way to make it really easy when my clients came to me in need or the perfect name for their thing. That’s when I developed this simple three-step naming strategy that works every time.

Okay, so we can all agree that blogging takes a lot of time.
It can take 4, 5, 6+ hours to create a really great piece of content.
And for most entrepreneurs…the payoff begins and ends with the blog post.
But what if there were a way to extend that payoff? To put that handful of hours to work for your business not just in the form of a blog post…but of much, much more?
That, my friend, is the whole idea behind repurposing your content.

I’ve had veggies on my mind a lot lately.
With farmers’ markets in full force for the season and a teeny little herb garden growing on the patio, we’re enjoying a plethora of fresh produce in good ol’ NJ.
It’s really amazing what a difference a freshly-picked ingredient makes.
I mean, when you cut yourself a bite of bright red tomato over a thick slice of fresh mozzarella drizzled with thick, syrupy balsamic vinegar? Omg HEAVEN.
You just can’t fake the freshness. No matter how tasty your cheese or how many years your balsamic’s been aging, if the tomato’s underripe, you’re going to have a pretty lifeless bite on your hands.
One of the most common problems entrepreneurs face is not generating enough sales with their launches. And tomatoes are to blame.

I’ve always had a thing for anniversaries.
I remember a classmate in high school whose parents, according to the Bridgewater mom gossip network, were still crazy in love like teenagers. And, according to the moms, the couple also took a decadent, lavish trip — sans children — every year on their anniversary.
I stopped listening when the mom squad shared their opinions on how this puppy-dog-style love affected their kids. They lost me at the “lavish anniversary trip” part.
I LOVE the idea of honoring milestones, both big and small. Taking time to reflect and celebrate an anniversary is an awesome idea, in my book.

Once you’ve grabbed a reader’s attention with a compelling headline, guess how long you’ve got to keep it?
No, seriously, though. Give it a think.
How long before the average reader clicks away from your email / blog post / sales page, off into the abyss that is the internet?
In life, there are things we should do.
And things we actually do.
Like buying local squash. (Just go with me.)
In a perfect world, I’d shop at the farmers’ market every week. I’d write out a grocery list, pack up my reusable grocery bags, and ride my bike out to the cute little market down by the water.
Green. Local. Slow and simple. Pretty great, right?
Oh, but wait…

Have you seen the movie Inception?
You know, that Leonardo DiCaprio flick that twisted your brain and kept you up for HOURS afterwards, trying to figure out what level of the dream they were in inside each world?
Okay. Now, if I told you to think of ONE scene from that movie, what would it be?
I’m guessing you’re picturing the iconic final scene, with the top dancing maddeningly across the polished mahogany table.
Am I right?
BOOM. Clearly, I just proved I’m a mindreader. #endofblogpost
Okay, that actually wasn’t the point of this point aaaaaand I’m actually not a mindreader. (Although I would kill to know what my dog is thinking as he lies curled up on the floor as I write this!)
I just know an important psych principle about why that particular scene stands out. Keep Reading »
