When Good Social Marketing Gets Wasted (And How Good Copywriting Can Save It)

Mid-life career change, Social marketing participants create dozens -- perhaps hundreds -- of messages every day. They rarely think of their postings and messages as copywriting.

'Where,' I wanted to ask,'is your About page? What are your credentials to offer your services?

Most visitors are like me, I suspect. They want to get a sense of who you are, what results you achieve, and why you're qualified. They want to see signed testimonials and success stories.
