It’s time to write your freaking site.

2. Writing prompts for every section (over 300 total!)
3. HUNDREDS of examples for inspiration!

But we’re not just here to teach you how to write your website. We’re here to help you feel SUPER
confident in your website’s ability to convert. By the end of this workbook, you'll have a website
that could've been written by a professional copywriter. That means words that position you as an
authority in your niche. Words that overcome all potential objections. And words that turn first-

Hey, friend! We're Madison & Haley,


the strategic copywriters & twin
sisters behind Maha Copy Co.
People always ask us where we learned our strategy for writing website
copy. But the truth is we didn’t learn our method. We created it.

We read the classic copywriting books, took tons of copywriting courses,


researched, saw what was out there, and tested different strategies. And
after years of learning, we forged our OWN repeatable path to success.
And now, we’re sharing it with you in the easiest way possible.

THE MENUS
www.imarketing.courses
www.imarketing.courses
PART 2: THE MENUS 12

The Website Menu


PURPOSE: To give your audience an easy-to-navigate experience and
clearly lay out your offer

MENU HORIZONTAL VIEW (IN THIS ORDER)

SERVICES/ ADDT'L ADDT'L


HOME ABOUT CONTACT
SHOP CTA 1 CTA 2

Your menu should include the 4 main pages every website needs — Home, About, Services (for
service-based businesses) or Shop (for product-based businesses), and Contact — and up to 2
additional pages. We don't recommend more than 6 pages, because if your menu is crowded it
looks messy and becomes overwhelming for the user. Six items or less is best for a smooth user
experience. To choose your additional CTAs for your menu, start by creating a sitemap of ALL the
pages you’ll need on your site and how you want to organize them.

Example: Home Courses


About Branding Course
Services Website Design Course
Branding [Package 1] Masterclasses
Website Design [Package 2] Contact
Portfolio Site Credits
Case Study 1 Terms & Conditions
Case Study 2

Include the main categories in your website menu, e.g. Portfolio, Courses, and Masterclasses.
Because your main menu should only have 6 pages max, you may need to do some grouping!

Example: An “Education” page could house “Courses” and “Masterclasses”

You can use dropdown menus where appropriate to list subpages.

Note: We typically recommend organizing your menu items by audience [e.g. You're a designer
offering services for photographers (Audience 1), but you also create resources for fellow
designers (Audience 2).] You can name your menu items after the audience ("For Photographers"
and "For Designers") or the offer ("Services" and "Resources"). Choose the option that provides the
most clarity and fits your business best!

www.imarketing.courses
www.imarketing.courses
PART 2: THE MENUS 13

Additional names & alternate options


Choose names for each page that are clear and concise. We tend to opt for single words options,
but you can choose a multi-word option if it suits your brand voice. Prioritize names that look
clean and clear in your design. No crowded menus, please!

HOME
Alternative Option: Link a logo in your menu to your home page. We don't recommend any
alternative naming here!

ABOUT
Alternate Names: About Me, About Us, Meet The Team, Our Story

SERVICES
Alternate Names: Work With Me, Work With Us, {Name of Type of Service}

1-2 ADDITIONAL CTAS


Your additional menu items will depend on your business. Think about the most important pages
for lead conversions and sales. Maybe it’s a course or sales page for your signature offer. If you’re a
service-based business also offering products, it could be a Shop or Resources page, too.

Suggestions:

{Name of Sales Page} (Named for your signature offer, abbreviated if needed)
Courses
Resources
Portfolio
Shop (if secondary to services)
Podcast
Case Studies
Education
Blog
Press

CONTACT
Alternate Names: Inquire

PART 2: THE MENUS 14

The Footer Menu


PURPOSE: To make every page on your website easily accessible and clearly
describe who you are and what you offer for SEO.

Your footer should include a list of all of the pages on your website that you want your audience
to be able to access. You aren’t limited by space, so you can list more navigation options.

We recommend every footer include:

Full Menu (list every page on your site that you want your audience to be able to access)
Business Logo
Social Icons/Links
Footer Statement

You may also choose to include:

Branding elements
Email list sign-up
Copyrights
Site Credit
Terms & Conditions

THE FOOTER STATEMENT

Your footer statement should be a clear, straightforward explanation of who you are and/or what
you offer. Be sure to include the name of your business, the primary service/product you offer,
your primary SEO keyword, and your location or target audience (if applicable to sales).

FOOTER PROMPT

[Business Name] [is/offers] [service/SEO keyword]


for [target audience] in [target location].

PURPOSE: To direct people exactly where they need to go.

SECTION 1: HERO HEADLINE


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + SUBHEADING + CTA

Every page on your website should start with a hero headline. Your hero headline and subtitle
will be the MOST READ words on your site, so they need to be clear and grab attention to
make people stick around.

We craft headlines that grab attention by focusing on the deep benefit. The deep benefit is what
your people really want, deep down. And usually, the deep benefit is either focused on an
emotional response or a transformation. It’s not just about the way someone’s daily life is going
to change as a result of whatever you’re offering them. It’s about how their internal life will
change.

If you want to learn how to find deep benefits to craft attention-grabbing headlines, check out
The Ultimate Headline Helper. If you’re looking for a plug-and-play route, use one of the prompts
from The Ultimate Headline Helper below!

SECTION 2: THE BIG PROBLEM


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + OPTIONAL SUBHEADING + BODY COPY

You might think your audience is made up of people who have an age range, a career, or an
interest in common—but it is not. It’s made up of people who have a problem in common. The
most successful websites are the ones that break down one big problem in a super tangible way.
The more specific you can be, the more your audience can relate—so make it visceral and
detailed.

HEADLINE
THE BIG PROBLEM HEADLINE PROMPTS

01 You’re {positive description}. So why are you still (struggling with) {specific
problem they’re facing every day}?
Your Instagram account is thriving. So why are you still struggling to make
sales?
02
You’re ready {to reach this goal}. But {big question they’re struggling to answer}.
You’re ready to start hiring help. But how do you know what work to offload
first?

03 Do you ever {paint a picture of a familiar scenario} and wonder {familiar


question}?
Do you ever get to the end of a 12-hour workday and wonder, “...Did I ever reply
to that email?”

04 You know {this next goal is possible}. But right now, you’re {doing this activity}
{with these poor results}.
You know passive income is possible. But right now, you’re creating so much
content for so little reward.

05 You want to feel {positive end goal}. But right now, you’re {problem holding
them back}.
You want to feel confident in your curls. But right now, you’re stuck in frizz
maintenance.

06 No more {tangible aspect of problem}.


No more tossing and turning for hours on end.

You already know composting is the way of the future. You’re ready for the whole
neighborhood to know it, too.

09 Imagine being able to {experience this benefit}.


Imagine being able to wake up in the morning allergy-free.

BODY COPY
THE BIG PROBLEM BODY COPY PROMPTS

01 You’re not about {paint the picture of the way most people do things that your
audience doesn’t do}. You’re all about {specify a value to your audience}. You {paint
how they LIVE the value}. You {paint how they LIVE the value again}. And you’d
rather {do this hard/vulnerable/uncommon thing} than {do this thing that’s
easier/less vulnerable/common} every time.

You’re not here to {basic thing most services/products in your field offer}.
You’re here to {way you’re doing it differently}.

(Optional final word).


We’re so glad you’re here. / You’re in the right place.

Example: Social Media Manager

You’re not about posting photos just for the likes. You’re all about making
social media real again. You share your scars and belly rolls. You show your
struggles as much as your successes. And you’d rather film stories in a
messy bun and sweatpants than a filter that makes you look like everyone
else.

You’re not here to gain 1 million followers.


You’re here to lead the way to a kinder world, one follower at a time.

02 You’re not interested in {describe what they’re not looking for in your service}.
{This common thing} is totally not your vibe. You’ve got {reasons it’s not their
vibe}. You want {service} that {does this thing instead}.

{Show what that looks like x 3}.

Example: Interior Designer

You’re not interested in design that makes your house feel like a no-
touching zone. All-white everything is so not your vibe. You’ve got kids with
crayons, dogs with never-ending fur, and too many things on your to-do list
besides “keep everything clean.”

You want a design that looks beautiful even when your house is totally
loved and lived in.

Rugs that hide the fur.


Fabrics that are as washable as they are fancy.
And places to put your feet up when you finally get a break.

03 Your {thing they want to change} is definitely not {adjective or noun}. Most days,
you’re {paint the real picture of what it looks like}. You’re too busy {doing this
thing} to even think about {what the picture-perfect outcome would look like}.
You end every day {paint what it looks like in life for them to feel the emotion}.

You wish you {could do this thing / didn’t have to do this thing}. You want to stop
{doing this thing}, stop {doing this thing}, and {start doing this thing instead}.
You’re ready to {do this important work} so you can {let go of this negative thing /
get this benefit}.

Welcome to {Business Name}. We’re so glad you’re here.

Example: Group Running Coach

Since becoming a mom, your fitness routine is definitely not a routine.


Most days, driving to the gym feels as impossible as driving to the moon.
You’re too busy running after your kids to even think about going for a run.
You end every day straight-up exhausted.

The truth is you wish you didn’t have to play mom 100% of the time. You
want to stop the constant noise and the never-ending mess, and find some
peace and quiet just for yourself. You’re ready to make an effort to put
yourself first, so you can start feeling like yourself again.

Welcome to Moms Who Run. We’re so glad you’re here.

04 Deep down, you know you’ve got {this amazing thing/quality x3} to {what they
really want}. But right now, the path there feels {negative emotion}.

You want {this tangible thing}. You want {this tangible thing}. You want {this
tangible thing}.

You want {what they REALLY want, boiled down}.


You’re in the right place.

Example: Publishing Consultant

Deep down, you know you’ve got the talent, the passion, and the
determination to write a bestselling novel. But right now, the path there
feels — dare we say — a little too novel.

You want to learn everything about the process of getting a book deal. You
want to know exactly how to write a successful book proposal and get an
agent. You want tips from publishers and bestselling authors that will put
you ahead of the game.

You want to be paid to write, as soon as humanly possible.


You’re in the right place.

05 You’re in search of {the basic thing you offer}. But that’s not really why you’re
here.

You’re a {describe the audience in a noun}. You {describe how the audience
lives}. Deep down, you’re looking for {this thing}.

You know a {service/product you offer} is the first step to {describe the deep
desire}.

We’re right there with you. / We’re here to {help}.

THE BIG PROBLEM BODY COPY PROMPTS (CONT.)

Example: Luxury Wedding Planner

You’re in search of a wedding planner. But that’s not really why you’re here.

You’re a perfectionist. When you walk into a room, you’re the first one to
notice the intentional details — the way flower arrangements add depth to
a space, the custom hand-drawn place cards, and how crystal candlesticks
capture light and open up the view. To you, perfection is in the small details.
Deep down, you’re looking for someone who takes beauty as seriously as
you do.

You know a seasoned wedding planner is the first step towards a day that
lives up to your highest expectations. We’re here to exceed them.

06 You barely have enough {money, strength, energy, time, etc.} to {do this thing}, let
alone {do this, that, and the other thing}. You’re already {emotion} and you haven’t
even {hit this pivotal point}.

You’re tired of (feeling like)….


You’re tired of (constantly)…
And if {this additional thing happens} you might {how you’ll look going over your
breaking point}.

You don’t want {describe the pain point they’re continuously struggling with}, but
you feel {describe the emotion that’s either holding them back from change or
catapulting them into necessary change}.

That’s why I’m here.

Example: Private Chef

You barely have enough energy to host your family for Christmas, let alone
make an extravagant dinner for everyone. You’re already stressed out and
overwhelmed — and you haven’t even stepped into the kitchen.

You’re tired of planning three versions of every dish to accommodate


everyone’s needs.
You’re tired of constantly being reminded about your niece’s walnut allergy.
And if one more person tells you how they like their cranberry sauce, you
might scream.

it’s even begun.

That’s why I’m here.

SECTION 3: SOCIAL PROOF

You’ve just outlined the problem, and now you’re going to position yourself as a vetted solution
using social proof. Social proof is pretty much anything that adds to your credibility. For this first
social proof section, we recommend you keep it pretty short and punchy. You want this section to
be super readable to keep the momentum going, rather than stopping your reader with a wall of
text.

Suggestions:

Pull quotes
Success stats
Logos of past clients
Mastheads of publications where you’ve been featured
Case study results
High-visibility endorsements
Business statistics, like the number of people served and
how many years you’ve been in business
Optional for visual artists/creatives/photographers: switch
this out for a Portfolio section!

SECTION 4: SERVICES BREAKDOWN


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + SERVICE TITLE (IF APPLICABLE) + BODY COPY + CTA

There are 3 ways to write the breakdown of your services, depending on your business model:

1. Highlight one main offer


Choose if: you have one primary offer, like a signature course

2. Break down 2-3 services with a description of each one


Choose if: you have a tiered offer suite or serve multiple audiences

3. Feature your products (scrolling horizontally, or three bestsellers)


Choose if: you’re primarily product-based

What’s important is that you use this section to describe the main benefit of each
service/product, who it’s perfect for, and any valuable specs.

HEADLINE
SERVICES HEADLINE PROMPTS

01 If you’re introducing one main offer…

Name the offer directly in your headline.

Example: Join Website Copy Mastery

02 If you’re breaking down multiple services…

Use the headline as an invitation.

Examples:
What brings you here?

What are you {verb related to the outcome}?


What are you celebrating?

Ready to {get this benefit}?


Ready to meet your new furry friend?

01 Be honest: do you think {describe the misconceptions they’re coming in with}?


That’s {assure that you’re doing things differently OR challenge the
misconception}. We’ll never {describe how others are letting them down}. We’re
here to {paint a picture of what you do}. Because {state the difference}.

Example: Cat Sitting Service

Be honest: do you think all cat sitters are secretly dog lovers who feed your
cat as quickly as possible, snap a few photos, and leave? That’s totally not
how we’re doing things. We’ll never rush through a sit with your cat. We’re
here to give them a proper hangout full of toys, treats, and snuggles (if
they’re into it!). Because we’re cat lovers, through and through.

Example: Online Dating Coach

You know you want to find love, but you still cringe every time you think
about meeting someone online. You’re ready to go on dozens of dates if
that’s what it takes to find your person. But before you can get to the
proposal, you need to get past the profile overwhelm. We’ll help you
navigate the online dating world, one bio at a time.

Example: Elopement Photographer

If you think your elopement has to be small and simple, think again. Our
adventure elopement packages are here to give you a once-in-a-lifetime
experience for two — with wall-worthy photos to prove it. Ready to see how
freaking FUN eloping can be?

04 Let’s be real: you don’t want {ways others fall short}. You want {describe what you

Example: Brand Designer

Let’s be real: you don’t want a brand that only looks good in the hands of a
professional designer. You want design elements that look intentional, even
if you’ve got zero design skills whatsoever. My Brand in Hand package gives
you all tools and templates you need to take your new branding and run
with it.

05 You don’t {need/want/have time for} {this type of service}. But you do need {this
more appealing route} {to reach this goal}! That’s why I created {this
product/service}. It’s all the essential {elements you need}, without {the things you

Example: Social Media Resource Hub

As a new business owner, you don’t need a full-time social media manager.
But you do need the tools to show up consistently online without spending
countless hours in Canva. That’s why I created The InstaStarter Kit. It’s all the
essential editable templates you need, without the done-for-you price tag.

Example: Artist / Painter

You can practically see the artwork that will pull your home together — the
warm earth tones, the delicate charcoal, and the frame in bleached pine.
There’s no doubt in your mind that you want a custom Antonello. Let’s co-
create a piece inspired by your interior design to fit right into the landscape
of your home.

07 Let us guess: you {know you need this deliverable}, but you’d rather {do it in a
more appealing way} than {in this less appealing way}. When you want {primary
benefits of the offer}, our {package/offer/service} is for you.

Example: Workflow

Let us guess: you know your business is desperately in need of some time-
saving workflows, but you’d rather learn how to set them up yourself than
pay top-dollar for done-for-you. When you want to confidently automate
the backend of your business, our Signature Workflow Course is for you.

08 {This package/offer/collection} might as well be called {name based on their deep


desire}. Because that’s exactly what we’re {action verb}. We’ll {list the features of
your offer} for a {superlative deliverable}. Can you say {their ideal finish}?

Example: Children’s Party Planner

Our Premium Package might as well be called The Best Birthday of Your

Introduce yourself as the mastermind behind your amazing, value-packed services or products.
But don’t make this section a resume to “prove your worth.” Let your value-packed offers and
social proof vet you. Instead, keep talking about what’s in it for your people. Who are you here to
serve? What are you doing for them? And what are you doing differently than everyone else?

WHY YOU BODY COPY PROMPTS

01 We know we’re not the only {noun that connects to your audience} who are
totally over {this problem / this thing that’s very common in your industry}. We
wanted {describe the difference}. We wanted {doing this thing} to finally
{describe the benefits look like in action}. So we {made one/did it}.

Example:
We know we’re not the only cat lovers who are totally over scratched-
up furniture. We wanted an affordable, chic solution that wasn’t just a P.S. IF YOU KNOW
clear, plastic sheet or stick-on scratching post. We wanted cat-ifying SOMETHING LIKE THIS
THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS,
our furniture to finally look cute. So we created Kitty Corners. PLEASE DM US AT
@MAHACOPYCO.
#MEOWINGFORHELP

02 At {business name}, our {products/services} don’t just {do what others in your
industry offer}. They {also do this}. Because where most {name your
service/products} {have these drawbacks}, we {do provide these benefits/this
added expertise}. And you can {feel/taste/see/etc.} the difference. Our {name
product}/{name services} {show the difference in statistics or stories}.
But our real intention isn’t just to {do that already better thing}. It’s to {describe
the deep benefit}.

Example:
At Silken, our handmade silk scrunchies don’t just look better than cotton.
They feel better. Because where most hair ties cause breakage, dryness,
and the dreaded bedhead, ours actively reduce friction to keep your hair
frizz-free. And it’s a difference you can see. Over 97% of women who’ve
switched to Silken reported softer, smoother hair.

But our real intention isn’t just to reduce breakage. It’s to help women
protect their natural texture and embrace their natural shine.

03 I believe every {name the audience} deserves to {general benefit of your


product/service}. So if the thought of {describe the way LIFE looks with the
benefit in action} makes you {describe happiness, in a way related to your brand
voice, etc. make you dance around your kitchen, makes you want to jump up
and down around the locker room, makes you want to kiss your laptop screen…},
I’m so glad you’re here.

Because (at {Business},) I’m not treating this like {what it is usually}. I’m treating
this like {what it would be at its best, connected to the deep benefit}. No
{undesirable component}. No {undesirable component}.

{Let’s/It’s time to} and {do this great thing}.

Example:
We believe every plus-size woman deserves to see themselves when
shopping online. So if the thought of seeing clothes on models who look like
you makes you want to stand up and say “It’s about damn time!” we’re right
there with you.

Because at See The Fit, we don’t treat online shopping like a buy it, try it,
and return it experience. We treat online shopping like what it should be: a
way to see clothes on your body type before you buy them. No guesswork.
No endless returns.

Let’s revolutionize the way real women shop and see the fit on real women,
from size 00 to size 40 and beyond.

04 After {statistic invoking trust, e.g. X years as a {job title} / helping X clients {get this

{something most people don’t know or get wrong / why this undesirable thing
happens}. That’s why I’m {describe the way you’re doing things differently}.
Because I want you to {get this deep benefit}.

Expect me to {do this desirable thing}, {give you this tangible benefit}, and {make
you feel this transformation}.

It’s about time you {got this desirable outcome}. Let me {lead the way/show you
how/etc.}!

Example: Professional Hairstylist

After 15 years as a hairstylist, I know even the perfect cut can fall flat if you
don’t know how to style it. That’s why I don’t just cut your hair, I show you
step-by-step how to style it, too. Because I want you to feel totally in love
with your hair on haircut day and every day after.

Expect me to recommend products for your specific hair, teach you how to
properly use whatever tools you have (from your hairdryer to your fingers!),
and leave you feeling more confident in your hair care than ever before.

It’s about time you had the power to turn every bad hair day into a good

DESCRIPTION

HOW IT WORKS STEP DESCRIPTION PROMPTS

STEP 1 {Take this step} and I’ll {way you respond} so you/we can {talk about X/see if we’ll
be a good fit}. I’ll ask you {conversation topic/pre-qualification}, and you can ask
me {common question(s) potential clients have}. It’ll be {describe the vibe/what
to expect}.

Example: Makeup artist

Send me a message, and I’ll get back to you so we can chat all about the
look. I’ll ask you to share inspo photos, and you can ask me any
questions about my process. It'll feel as smooth as Boissance moisturizer
(IYKYK).

STEP 2 (Optional: After {Step 1/pre-qualification}, I’ll {describe any ways you follow
up}.) If {you’re in / we sound like a good match}, you’ll {do this thing} to
{describe the commitment, e.g. book your spot, join the course, get on my
calendar}! Then, {describe the next steps in the process before the service start
date}.

Example: Makeup artist

If we seem like a perfect fit, pay a $50 deposit to save your spot on my
calendar! Then, we’ll set up your complimentary pre-shoot sesh. You’ll
come to my studio or I’ll come to you, and we’ll play until we find the
look.

STEP 3 {At this pivotal moment}, I’ll {do this thing}, {do this thing}, and {do this thing}. All
you have to do is {simple contribution, e.g. show up and smile!}. {By the time we’re
done/By {this day}/You’ll leave with/you’ll feel} {describe the final deliverable/big
benefit}.

Example: Makeup artist

On the big day, I’ll bring the makeup and the good vibes — you just bring a
clean face! By the time we’re done, you’ll feel ready to rock the runway, the
cameras, or the aisle with your best face forward.

SECTION 8: CALL TO ACTION


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + BODY COPY + CTA

Invite your audience to take action! Focus on THE BIG ACTION you most want them to take, so
instead of inviting them to browse your services here, invite them to schedule a discovery call,
sign up for a session, or visit your shop. If they’ve made it to the end of the page, they’re ready to

referring back to the deep benefit in your headline, just to nail it in. It’s one last reminder of why
they should say yes.

You can also use this section for any lead magnet, like a quiz, a free resource, or a
downloadable guide.

P.S. The placement of this section is also flexible! You can include it after your Services
Breakdown, before the How It Works section, or after your final CTA — it really depends on
what you’re offering. We recommend keeping additional pages (e.g. Blog) before the final CTA,
lead magnets after the final CTA (e.g. in place of/before the Email List Sign-up section), and
additional offers after your Services Breakdown or Why You section. There isn’t one right
answer — do whatever fits your business best!

SECTION 2: AHA INTRO


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + SUBHEADING (OPTIONAL) + BODY COPY

The goal of this section is to help your people understand a big BECAUSE. As in: they need you
over anyone else because…or I do things this way, because. We call it the “Aha” intro because you
want your people to have a moment of realization when they read your REASON for doing things
the way you do them. And pretty much every time, that realization will be some variation of
there’s a better way, and I’ve found it.

There are three different ways you can give your audience that AHA moment. And you can
choose whichever one works best for you.

The first way is to ILLUSTRATE & AFFIRM.

In the illustrate and affirm option, you’ll further illustrate the problem, and then affirm that you’re
here to solve EXACTLY that. The AHA you’re going for here is simple: you really see them. You
really get it. The “better way” is to have your help.

The second way is to CHALLENGE A FALSE BELIEF.

Talk about a false belief they have, and basically explain why it’s wrong. In this option, you’re
outright offering them the realization of the “AHA” by saying what you’ve been led to believe isn’t
true; here’s what IS true.

The third way is to SHOW THE DIFFERENCE.

This option only works if you know SUPER CLEARLY why you do things the way you do them and
if it goes against the status quo. You want to explain why your unique way of doing things is the
best way — in other words, show the difference.

Example:
I’m the kind of person who’d rather sleep on a wooden plank than go a day
without kombucha. So when I moved to Springfield, my first stop was a local
health food store.

At first, I thought the lack of kombucha was just bad luck, but when I went
into shop after shop and still couldn’t find any of that glorious ‘buch, I knew
something had to change. I couldn’t help thinking, if only I could make
kombucha myself.

So I began the (kind of gross) task of finding myself some SCOBY.

And that’s how Marty’s Cold Hard ‘Buch was born.

02 To be honest, {reveal how you act differently than someone with your job title is
expected to act}. {Option to expand: paint a vivid picture of what that looks like in
action}.

The truth is {reveal an unexpected truth}. (Option to expand: Most days, I’m… I’d
rather… And I’m never going to…)

That’s why (as a {job title}/when I do this job}, I’m all about {improving your
experience} {by taking these actions}. Because I don’t want you to {experience this
specific fear/pain point}. I want you to feel like {paint a picture of their ideal
outcome}, and {remind them why they can trust you}.

Example:
To be honest, I can’t stand being in front of the camera. When there’s a lens
on me, I shrink away. It took me 3 years to get headshots taken for my
photography business because I just couldn’t stand the thought of me…and
a camera…alone. How’s that for irony?

The truth is I’m a photographer who has always felt ~awko taco~ about
having my photo taken.

That’s why when I come to a shoot, I’m all about replacing the “IDK what to
do!” energy with badass confidence — I’ll give directions, pose you, and tell
you exactly what to do with your hands. Because I don’t want you to feel like
you’re alone with the camera. I want you to feel like I’m the creative director
of Vogue, and my whole job is to make you look good.

Example: Professional Organizer


Before I was a professional organizer, I was a stressed-out mom of 3
completely exhausted from trying to keep up. And TBH, I thought the
disorganized mess of my house was my fault.

It wasn’t until I hired my own professional organizer that I realized the


problem wasn’t my lack of organizational skills; it was my lack of systems.

Now, I’m here to help fellow moms put the systems in place to spend less time
cleaning and more time enjoying life. Because let me tell you, life without
constant mess will rock your socks off.

Basically? I’ll {do this work} so {tangible result/results can occur}. {Optional: Paint a
picture of how they’ll feel about you in the future}.

Example: Adventure Dog Walker


I’m not your typical dog walker. I’m more like a dog adventure planner.
Because I know you want your best friend to have the best life ever…and get
their energy out somewhere other than your living room.

That’s why when I drop your doggo back home, they’ll have the sleepy-faced
grin of a kid who just spent hours on the playground. Except our playground
isn’t a yard or a sidewalk; it’s the whole Colorado wilderness.

AHA INTRO BODY COPY PROMPTS (CONT.)

In a nutshell? I’ll take your pup to my favorite neighborhood trails, streams,


and pastures so they can play their little heart out. And then I’ll drop them
home, ready to relax for the rest of the night. And that’s when I officially
become dog and man’s best friend.

05 Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not here to {misconception people have about the
work/the experience you offer}. {I’ll never pretend/you don’t have to believe} {this
undesirable thing is necessary to find success}. And I promise you, {specific self-
doubt or worry is wrong}.

Because when I {do this work}, I know {something not everyone knows that
highlights what others get wrong}.

Example: SAT Tutor


Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not here to help you get every answer right on
the SATs. You don’t have to study for hours a day or relearn 11 years of
schooling. And I promise you, you don’t have to be a math whiz to get a good
score. Because when I sit across the table from you, I know the best way to ace
the SATs isn’t to study information. It’s to study the test.

You couldn’t care less about {basic want}. But what you do care about? {Value one.}
06
{Value two.} And {Value three}.

That’s why you don’t want {common objection about this work}. You want {deep
benefit}.

So if you’re looking for a {job title} who {does this thing, this thing, and this thing}?
Welcome. Let’s {describe what you’re really here to do}.

Example: Art Teacher


You couldn’t care less about learning how to paint between the lines. But
what you do care about? Expressing your creativity. Being a forever learner.
And trying new things, just because they’re fun.

That’s why you don’t want to take an art class where you follow instructions.
You want a free space to explore the artist within you.

So if you’re looking for an art teacher who will lay out all the supplies you need
and say “What do you want to create?” Welcome to my studio. Let’s throw out
expectations and let imagination lead the way.

INCLUDES: HEADLINE + SUBHEADING (OPTIONAL)

We call this the superpower statement instead of a mission statement because it’s not
necessarily about your purpose or what value you want to bring to your people. It’s about what
you bring to the job, just by being yourself. It’s not aspirational. It’s the feedback you’re hearing
again and again about what you do best.

I finally {describe the transformation}. Now {describe how that informs what you do

Example:
I was sitting in my office after working for 18 hours straight, hysterically sobbing.
I’d been working nonstop for 9 months, running my business on my own and
juggling everything. I was beyond burnout. I was physically and mentally done.
I’d grown to hate my business, and I couldn’t see a way out.

I knew something had to change.

So I took a look at my business and figured out what I absolutely had to do


myself, and what I could hand over to someone else. And then, even though I
was scared I didn’t have the funds, I made my first hire. And that one hire
changed everything.

Example:
Everything was going wrong. I was in the first year of starting my business,
working 70 hours a week, and I was barely making enough to get by. I felt like
maybe I just wasn’t cut out to be an entrepreneur.

I started working with a financial business coach because I wanted someone to


tell me how to make my business profitable. But it became so much more than
that.

I realized I was living with a scarcity mindset around money. I saw firsthand
how my mindset was holding me back from financial growth. And it changed
the way I ran my business entirely.

Now, as a 7-figure entrepreneur, I teach new business owners how to cultivate a


limitless mindset around money. And the best part isn’t seeing how it changes
your business — it’s seeing how it changes your life.

figure it out on their own. Write down every potential stuck point that comes to mind. Then,
address the biggest objections in your copy, and plant seeds of reason as to why those objections

SECTION 4: VALUE PROPS (OPTIONAL)


INCLUDES: HEADLINE + VALUE PROPS TITLES + DESCRIPTIONS

Value props are the most compelling reasons why people should buy from you. What are you
delivering that makes your offer totally stand out? Choose three things that all of your people are
getting and then explain why they matter. This can be a physical deliverable, a feature, or just
why it’s great. If you’re a service provider and you’re struggling to figure out what to talk about in
a value props section, you probably don’t need them and can skip this section. (That’s just our
professional opinion, but…it’s true.)

SECTION 5: OFFER BREAKDOWN


INCLUDES: OFFER TITLE + OFFER DESCRIPTION + LIST OF DELIVERABLES
(OPTIONAL) + PRICE (SUGGESTED) + CTA

Whether you have one signature offer, multiple packages, or a product suite, it’s important to
write descriptions for each of your individual offerings. You can talk about things like the scope of
the work, timelines, and deliverables. You could also talk about who it’s for, which is something
we really love to do. When you specifically say who it’s for, your clients can self-select the option
that’s best for them. Finally, include the price and a call to action button where people can either
purchase, submit an inquiry, or take a step to learn more.

People always ask us if they should include their prices on their


site. And our answer is always YES YES YES YES! Why? Because if

e
A not
you DON’T show your prices, your customers will subconsciously
guess them anyway. And the chances of them guessing correctly

g
on pricin
are close to zero. That means they’ll either assume you’re more
expensive than you are and never reach out to you, or assume
you’re less expensive than you are and get sticker shock. By
including prices on your website, you’ll see more inquiries from
people who are serious about your offers, and you won’t have to
convince anyone of your worth.

It’s okay if your contact page is mostly just an inquiry form. But you do want to have a little bit of
copy so that it still feels like you’re still in conversation with your reader. Write a warm and inviting

the contact form. In how many days should they expect to hear from you? What will be their next

It’s best for SEO purposes to have a minimum of 300 words on every page of your website, so
consider adding additional sections to increase your word count. We love including an FAQ
section on the contact page to address any last questions people may have. (If you find yourself
answering the same questions over and over, this will help!) You can also give people additional
ways to engage after they reach out — invite people to read your blog, explore top resources, or

…80 PAGES LATER…

You wrote your freaking site!


(That wasn’t so hard, was it?)

YOU MADE IT! All the claps and snaps and high kicks for you, friend. You’ve got website copy
that’ll draw your audience in and keep ‘em there! We hope after all the prompts and examples,
you feel more confident in your words than you’ve EVER felt before. This strategy has helped
businesses grow, book out, sell out and stand out — so we CAN’T WAIT to see what it does for
yours!

So if you found this workbook helpful, or when you get flooded with messages like, “after reading
your website, I just KNEW I had to work with you,” we’d love to hear about it! Send us a DM
@mahacopyco or write to us at hello@mahacopy.com. You’ll make us happier than when we’re
snuggling our cats. (Okay, that sounded anticlimactic, but seriously nothing makes us happier
than a good cat snuggle. NOTHING. Except maybe hearing from you.)

DISCLAIMER

Here’s the part where we tell you we’re not legally responsible if this template doesn’t give you the
same awesome results it’s given other people. We say a few other things, too, but that’s the gist.

The Maha Copy Shop was created by Haley and Madison Enos to provide educational resources for
coaches & creatives who want to improve their copywriting skills.

We’re good at what we do. In fact, we’re professionals, and some of our past clients have seen amazing
results from using our words (*woot woot*). And while we love showing you what’s possible by
highlighting real customer results, we trust you know others’ successes do not guarantee the same
results for you. Your results will depend on a combination of factors we have no control over, like your
skills, effort, experience, and market. AKA: we can’t promise anything.

Likewise, we trust you know this document does not constitute professional advice. At Maha Copy Co.,
we take pride in offering high-quality copywriting services to a select group of full-service clients. Your
implementation of the suggestions set out in this resource does not create a professional relationship
between you and Maha Copy Co. If you want feedback or advice about your specific business, there are
marketing consultants and sales advisors out there who would absolutely love to help!
