Is your about page something you just threw together?
If you're like most of us, writing about yourself can be pretty difficult. You might feel like you’re bragging, or in an effort to sound professional, you fall into the trap of using corporate mumble-jumble B.S. (That's Business Speak and it doesn’t mean a thing.)
Lame about page = Lost sales.
Your about page for your blog or business is such an important page. This is where your potential audience not only gets to know who you are and what you do, but more importantly, the why behind what you do. It's also one of the most frequently visited pages on your site. This is your opportunity to shine.
Learn how to communicate who you are, what you do and what you stand for:
Together, we’ll work on communicating what sets you apart by:
* Connecting with your customers so they think "wow, you really get me."
• Offering a solution to their problems.
• Providing the support why they should hire you.
• Offering a clear call to action.

Anne's workshop is the reason why I was finally able to create a succinct tagline for summarizing my hybrid skillset. Now, when someone asks me what I do - I can answer them intelligently with confidence. She helped me cut the fat and organize my thoughts and I can't recommend her services enough!

I loved the Story Unfolds workshop with Anne McColl! It helped me tell my brand story in a way that's authentic to me AND also speaks to the hearts and minds of my ideal clients. Before taking this class, my About Me page on my website was a boring bio that I felt embarrassed about. Now I feel happy when my audience reads this page--as it conveys who I am and what my company stands for in a compelling and meaningful way. Thank you, Anne!

Anne is fantastic! After attending this workshop, I’m ready to tackle my about page on my portfolio site. Anne also presented this workshop to my senior graphic design portfolio class and that helped my students find their voice when writing about their work.
Check out the sample lesson.

I help brands tell stories.
I help brands (people, businesses, and startups) find right the words + pictures to tell their stories. I put the heart back into communication so brands can make an emotional connection with their customers.
As The Best D@mn Copywriter, I work directly with businesses as well as ad agencies, design studios, and interactive firms. Over the years I have collaborated with amazing brands, including the San Diego Zoo, Hawaii Visitors Bureau, Bumble Bee Tuna, eBay, and the Del Mar Fair. When I’m not surfing the Internet, I can often be found surfing the juicy waves in San Diego.
