How I Got Here
Hi, I’m Abisoye.
Until the 2020 Covid lockdown, I was a bag designer. I made leather tote bags, purses, and folders in units but mostly on a large scale, on demand. I enjoyed every part of what I was doing except one.
‘Social Media Copywriting’
I knew I needed to leverage social media to market my products, but coming up with the right captions was one hell of a struggle. I would spend hours brainstorming and end up with almost nothing. It was frustrating.
Then the lockdown happened, and there was no more business.
While I tried to figure out what to do with my time next (because I hate being idle. And broke!), someone told me I could get paid for editing.
All along, I had been editing for my writer friends, and it was no big deal.
Wow, you mean I’ve been leaving money on the table for these many years?
As I processed that thought, they again mentioned ‘Copywriting’ instead of ‘Copyediting. They had made a mistake.
But curious me hopped on Google to figure out what Copywriting meant, and I was amazed by what I found.
What?! You mean the same thing I have been struggling to do for my business all along actually has a name? Wow!
And in less than one week, I bought my first Copywriting course and earned a certification.
That was fast, I know, but I meant business!
And that’s how I started.
All it has taken after that has been constant learning and practice. And here we are.
Why I Chose to Become a Copywriter
Writing copy for my business used to be so hard that it took an insane amount of time and effort
And I know it is the same for a lot of other business owners.
But it doesn’t have to be.
And unlike me, they don’t have to leave their current business to become full-time copywriters either. I already made that sacrifice. LOL.
I chose to become a copywriter because I figured I enjoy doing this ALOT!
At the same time, I get to help other people by taking off a part of their burden.
I make running a business easier for them.
I make taking a break more possible for them.
If you never have to bother about writing copy/content for your business, EVER AGAIN,
And you’re sure someone has that part covered for you forever,
How relieved would you feel?
Did you say, “Soo relieved?”
Yes, exactly!
That’s how relieved, relaxed, and unburdened I work to help my clients feel.
But of course, I don’t work 24/7. LOL
When not working on client projects, I love to spend time with my family, teach the Word of God, participate in stage dramas, or catch what’s trending on Twitter.
I also love to network and meet new cool people, so please feel free to connect with me via any of my social media handles.
