...handing out pretty biz cards at every industry event, conference, and mastermind within a 500-mile radius.
You’d be wrong.
If you guessed...
...posting high-value content to every social media channel under the sun Monday through Sunday ‘til your thumbs go numb.
You’d be wrong.
If you guessed...
...investing in a 5-figure website design and an A-list photographer to make your business look as legit as the industry leaders you look up to.
You’d be wrong.
If you guessed...
...and one that leaves your confidence and bank account empty—while your would-be ideal clients shrug in confusion as they bounce over to your #1 competitor’s website?
What’s the difference between a business that attracts highly-profitable and feel-good attention, leads, and referrals...
Important question for online entrepreneurs & service providers who want to stop chasing leads and land clients the easy way:
...having a kick-ass PR strategy that gets you featured in go-to business publications like Forbes, Business Insider, and Entrepreneur.
You’d still be wrong (kinda).
And if you guessed...
Think of it like this: content marketing greets people on the street and sparks conversations but your website is your real estate. If every other platform vanishes tomorrow, you can count on your website to keep your business going…
But only after you find the words to communicate your offer with clarity and J.Lo-during-halftime-level confidence.
Your website copy works.
And you don’t get recognized as an industry expert, revel in golden opportunities to change lives, and double down on your old 9–5 salary until...
Because, yes, these things *are* important... but every content marketing, networking, and publicity win leads back to your website.
Often find yourself hunched over your laptop at 2 AM, filling your precious hard drive with all the free copywriting guides and workbooks you can get your hands on.
Struggle to clearly define what you do, who you do it for, and why your offers are a cut above the rest. (“Wait, what’s a UVP again?”)
Play the type-delete type-delete game as you hack together your website words—flipping between the online homes of industry leaders you admire, trying to find the missing pieces in your own copy.
Hesitate to hit “publish” on … well, anything, because *gasp* what if it doesn’t sound good?
Let me know if this rings true. You...
But right now, you feel more like an intern precariously balancing a full order of Starbucks in one hand and a stack of uncollated webinar notes in the other.
You *know* there are people who can benefit from your skills… you just don’t know how to write about your offer in a way that resonates (and makes money ‘cause passion alone doesn’t pay the bills).
After all, your college composition class didn’t cover “brand messaging” or “website copywriting.” So you’ve listened to all the business podcasts, stalked the FB groups, and collected a mountain of self-helpy business books…
YOU SET OUT TO BUILD YOUR DREAM AS A DIGITAL ENTREPRENEUR, ONE WELL-PENNED PLANNER PAGE AT A TIME...
And no matter how many pep talks you have with your coach/partner/biz BFF, your copy still feels stiffer than the pencil skirt you wore to your last office job interview.
So you stress eat another bag of Cheetos, flick on the telly, and settle in for another afternoon in procrastination land… oy vey.
Yet despite your stellar thesaurus skills (“Hey Google, what’s another word for ‘authentic?’”), that gut-wrenching feeling of imposter syndrome lingers.
Sound all too familiar? Scroll on, m’friend.
*Cue the overwhelm*
Because without copy that pulls more “hell yeses”... are you even running a legit business? Or just playing dress-up with a pretty website?
Because if your website doesn’t sell, you’re leaving money on the table.
But somewhere between high-tailing it out of your windowless cubicle and filing your DBA or LLC, your passion and purpose got muddled up with the reality of marketing your business.
As a small business owner (AKA party of one ☝️), you gotta create a lot of content to drive traffic to your website… and you gotta have good website copy to move the needle on your bottom line… and it’s all gotta be on-brand and relevant to your audience.
(And hey, living that #laptoplifestyle doesn’t sound too shabby either.)
You bet on yourself because you saw an opportunity to ignite positive change in your industry.
You didn’t ditch your day job to become the next Oprah or Marie Forleo (although, that’d be nice)

The high-converting copy Erika wrote helped us get over 700 opt-ins in the first few weeks of our new course launch!
Erica and Travis Marr, The Ballroom Course
“We have a ton of passion and expertise for our products and services but struggled to craft a captivating story geared toward our target customers. With expert-level organization, Erika quickly brought a ton of clarity and boldness to our brand. We are very picky about who we bring in to help us with projects, and we are very proud of the results with this one!”
Erika’s expert copywriting made my website look and feel SO much more legitimate.
Hollis Rendleman, Interior Architect & Designer
“After spending months attempting to write my own website copy, I reached out to Erika for help. I thought it would be a great jumpstart to finesse my ideas and hone in on a consistent tone—but it was so much more. I was in tears (the good kind!) reading the copy Erika wrote. The messaging was TOTALLY on point, spoke to my ideal client, and upped my professionalism by leaps and bounds. To prove it, I booked three big-ticket clients and sold out a workshop within five days of launching my website.”
I knew hiring a website copywriter was essential for connecting with my ideal clients—and Erika absolutely NAILED IT!
Jenna Tracy, Wedding & Event Planner
“When Erika presented my copy, it was clear she went above and beyond to understand my business and skillfully craft a brand voice that feels 100% true to me AND my ideal clients. I launched my new website with complete confidence knowing that it tells the exact story I envisioned. Within a few days of launching, I received a new lead who said I have ‘exactly what she’s looking for.’ What can I say? Working with Erika was the best decision I made for my business! She’s thorough, helpful, responsive, so much fun to work with, and a wealth of knowledge.”
I looked at so many copywriters before making a decision. As soon as I found Erika, I knew she was the one.
Laura Murray, Photographer and Founder of Spark & Bound
“I immediately brought her on to help with my copy for the launch of my new brand. Since it was new, I was struggling to figure out my messaging. In the matter of a few hours, Erika honed in on what was most important to deliver a clear and concise message to my customers. I highly recommend Erika and I will certainly be using her for future projects!”
After weeks of struggling to write my own website copy, it was a huge relief to put it in her capable hands.
Jenna Renzo, Life & Business Coach
“While Erika worked her copywriting magic, I was free to focus on other important aspects of my business. And she hit the ball out of the park on the first draft, too—all while making the entire experience seamless and fun. Erika is a talented businesswoman with an amazing gift for writing copy that captures your vision and voice. Working with her exceeded all my expectations from beginning to end.”
Without a doubt, my website is booking more sales (without any extra work on my part).
Charlotte Henry, Interior Designer
“Before bringing Erika on to write my copy, I was ashamed of my website. Now, thanks to Erika, I’m proud—excited, even—to send people to my website. It’s like she went into my head, extracted all the good ideas, and weaved them into a brand story that perfectly represents my business and my clients. She’s my new go-to resource for copywriting projects and I can’t recommend her enough!”

Hey, there! I’m Erika Fitzgerald

MY WORK HAS BEEN TRUSTED BY & FEATURED IN
What if I’ve never written a single line of copy before? Is Craft & Convert going to work for me?
Let’s get your questions answered.
Still on the fence?
It’s okay if you’re new to copywriting—we’ll cover the basics in the prep-work module. To make the most of C&C and complete your website copy in 21 days, you should already have a basic understanding of sales psychology, a business plan, and an offer you know people want.
Umm, I’m really busy. How much time is this gonna take?
I hear you! Running a business is a lot of work, right? When I started my business, I was still working 9–5 and struggled to find the energy to work on my own biz at night.
That’s why I’ve designed C&C to make writing your website as quick and painless as possible with proven, strategies, step-by-step formulas, and plug-and-play templates. Everyone writes at different speeds. So, while I can’t say how long the actual work will take you, you can complete each module (videos, worksheets, etc.) in under 5 hours per week.
I’m in a random industry. Will Craft & Convert still work for me?
If you offer professional services or digital products on your website (and you DO need a website in 2020), this course is for you. Here’s a sampling of students who are a good fit for C&C:
• Accountants
• Astrologers
• Architects
• Authors
• Caterers
• Coaches
• Consultants
• Content writers
• Course creators
• Editors
• Event planners
• Financial advisors
• Graphic designers
• Herbalists
• Illustrators
• Influencers
• Interior designers
• Marketers
• Nutritionists
• Online educators
• Personal chefs
• Photographers
• Publishers
• Retreat organizers
• Social media specialists
• Speakers
• Strategists
• Stylists
• Website designers
• Wedding coordinators
• Wellness entrepreneurs
• Videographers
• Virtual assistants
• ...and beyond
Can’t I just figure out how to write my website copy with freebies, blogs, and podcast notes?
Sure, you could. Or you could skip the hassle of hacking your copy together like a pre-owned jigsaw puzzle (you know, the kind that’s probably missing a few pieces) and get the complete step-by-system—all in one place. Using the framework in Craft & Convert will save you loads of time, stress, and money (if you’re on the fence about hiring a copywriter). Not to mention, good copy increases sales—which equals more money earned for your business.
What format is the content delivered in?
When you enroll, you’ll get your own login to the course portal (via Teachable). Inside, you’ll find training videos, printable slides, and downloadable worksheets, cheat sheets, and checklists. You’ll also get access to the Complete Website Copywriting Template via Google Docs.
Do I need any specific programs or software to complete the course?
All you need is a wi-fi connection, computer, and your cute self! You don’t need to buy any extra programs or software to complete the course—although, I use and recommend Google Docs (which is totally free with your Google account).
I’ve bought other online courses and been disappointed. How’s yours going to benefit me?
Unlike other copywriting and marketing courses, Craft & Convert is laser-focused on helping independent small business owners craft their brand voice and convert more visitors through their website.
Will the course help me if I don’t have a business website yet (but plan to soon)?
Hey, it’s 2020! You need a website m’friend. But it’s okay if you don’t have one yet. In fact, that’s awesome! You’re 110% in the right place because C&C is designed specifically to help you write your copy and get that site up lickity-split.
What if I already have a successful business and my website is working fine?
The questions I recommend asking yourself are: Do you want to create a dazzling, one of a kind brand voice that makes people instantly think of you? Do you want to feel confident sharing your website URL at meetings/conferences/retreats/industry events? And do you want to make more sales through your site—so you can support your long-term biz goals? If yes, then Craft & Convert will totally help you out.
What kind of support will I get inside the course? Is there a private Facebook group?
This is a self-study, self-paced online course—which means I’m handing over my knowledge and expertise to help you fast-track your DIY website copywriting.
In regards to Facebook… I find it can be really distracting (which is why I don’t have an account anymore). While you often log in with productive intentions—cat memes and procrastination land are always a click away, amiright? This is why I’ve decided against hosting a private FB group for Craft & Convert.
Instead, if you complete your first draft of website copy within 30 days of enrolling, you can email it to me with a list of priorities (e.g. pages and sections you’d love a second set of eyes on) and I’ll record a 20-minute review video just for you within 2 weeks.
If you have tech issues, you can email hello@erikafitzgerald.com and we’ll get you fixed up ASAP.
I’m a little uncomfortable selling my services. What if my website copy comes off as overly salesy and, well, gross?
My approach to website copywriting isn’t to teach you questionable “grey hat” sales tactics. Rather, I teach proven strategies that allow you to create an honest, feel-good framework for your copy.
By getting to know your ideal clients—the people who can genuinely benefit from your services—you can crank up the volume on your value and create honest, mutually-beneficial connections.
Let me ask you: What’s the cost of not selling your services? You’ll end up selling yourself short, along with your business and the people who need you the most. So get out there and be seen. You have lives to change for the better.
How long do I have access to the course?
Forever, forever, ever, forever, ever. Yup, that’s right. When you enroll in Craft & Convert today, you get lifetime access to the content. 🎉
I will say, the course won’t always be offered at this price point and will be updated with new strategies, templates, and advice (because the internet is always evolving, yo). But once you’re in, you’ll never pay another cent for these updates. You lucky duck, you.
Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?
Yup! With the 14-day happiness guarantee, you can test drive Craft & Convert completely risk-free for, you guessed it, 14 days!
All I ask is that you give it an honest shot. If it doesn’t feel like the right fit, simply email me with proof that you watched the videos (this is tracked in the course platform) and did the work in week 1. If it all checks out, I’ll return every pretty penny. More on that up here.
I have a different question! 🙋♀️
Gotcha! Reach out to hello@erikafitzgerald.com and someone will be in touch with an answer for you within 2 business days.

Your biz is in its early stages and you want to learn the ropes because A) you’re not ready to hire a website copywriter and B) your business is still evolving and you want to take ownership of your copy.
You’ve been in business for a few years and your website is working okay but you know it could work better with a copy facelift.
You enjoy writing (for the most part) but website copywriting is a whole new ballgame. HALP! (Don’t worry, you’re in the right place.)
You’re tired of throwing proverbial spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks—you’re ready for a proven step-by-step system to GET.IT.DONE. 👏
You’ll love C&C if...
Craft & Convert is perfect for service-based business owners who want to nail down their brand message and write their website copy.
And good copy? Well, your business depends on it.
But I’m going to cut right to the chase: If you’re looking for a “quick fix” or still have major doubts, this probably isn't the course for you. Because you will need to show up and do the work.
If you do, I promise you’ll walk away with publish-ready pages of website copy—plus the skills to confidently update your website words again and again as your business evolves. Without wasting time. And without relying on a copywriter.
How much is that worth to you? Because if you’re serious about this whole entrepreneurship thing, 21 days is not a big investment.
This is where I make the final close. Ease all your lingering objections and stuff.
If you’re still reading...

And when they do? Magic happens ✨
Lives change.
Legacies are born.
You get more sh*t done.
And finally, promoting your work feels like a total guilty pleasure.
