WORDPOWER ACADEMY
An 8-week program to help you write your BEST COPY EVER
October 12- November 30, 2022
You have some copy that needs writing.
Maybe it’s copy for the new website you want to create. Or the new product you want to launch.
Maybe you want to create an email sequence that does a great job of transforming new subscribers into die-hard loyal clients or customers.
Or maybe you’re looking to clarify your story and your “why” – and learn how to write content that reflects your personality and makes it easy for your ideal clients to love you.
But even though you KNOW you need to write that copy, something has been stopping you from getting it done.
You tell yourself it’s because…
You’re so busy doing the work you love, you can never find the time to focus on your copy.
You never seem to find the “right words” – and you’re worried this means you NEVER WILL
You lack the commitment and accountability to get your butt in the chair and just WRITE
You’ve never had a writing mentor to support you and give you feedback to improve your work
But despite all of the very understandable reasons why you haven’t written your copy yet, they don’t change this essential fact:
Your lack of great copy is holding you back from growing your business!
Because if people don’t have a clear understanding of who you are or how your products, programs, or services will change their lives for the better, they will be far less likely to take you up on your offer.
And that means fewer sales and clients for you. Eep!
The good news is, you don’t have to be a “great writer” to write copy that inspires action.
Because – spoilers, darling! – great copy isn’t really about great WRITING.
It doesn’t matter if you have a sophisticated vocabulary or know how to use a semicolon correctly.
And it’s not about using “savvy marketing tactics” to compel people to buy from you.
Good copy is simply good COMMUNICATION.
It’s about understanding what people want and sharing the information in a way that makes sense to THEM.
And that’s exactly what you will learn to do in WORDPOWER ACADEMY this fall!
You’re 8 weeks away from writing your best copy ever.
WordPower Academy is a new 8-week copywriting program that combines self-directed video lessons with weekly live “WORDPLAY” copy coaching sessions that give you a dedicated time and place to make real progress on your writing goals and get valuable feedback on your work.
You’ll get the tools, training, and support you need to...
Develop a writing voice that sounds like YOU (because it IS you)
Get clear on your business story and your “why”
Identify your USP – what makes you stand out from the crowd
Structure your writing for maximum readability & results
Infuse your writing with your unique personality and passion
Write effective, response-driven copy for your website, landing pages, emails, social media, and more!
Here’s what our 8 weeks together will look like...

“The best investment I’ve ever made.”
“Enrolling in Erin Whalen’s WordPower Academy was the best business investment that I’ve ever made. Erin’s program provided step-by-step instructions to create sales and landing pages as well as how to create compelling emails that my clients and potential clients would want to read. The focus was on what would resonate with the potential client and make them want to work with me.
The vast resources she shared and the weekly live videos where we could ask questions and get feedback on our writing were invaluable. I’ve heard from colleagues that they hate to “sell” their services. If you follow Erin’s expert advice, you won’t be selling, just tapping into the wants and needs of your prospects and showing how you can help them achieve their goals. Value: PRICELESS!
I plan to enroll in Erin’s next WordPower program because I derived so much value from the first program. Won’t you join me?”
KATHERINE BOCK
Executive Coach
“This is the program I didn’t know I needed.”
“This is the program I didn’t know I needed. I had a lot of stories saying that I could not write copy for my business - not for my sales pages, my website, or really any other copy for that matter.
The Wordpower course really opened my eyes to seeing copy writing from a fresh new perspective. I learned that I could rely on structures that would serve both me and my audience/clients. I discovered it wasn’t “cheating” to follow tried-and-true communication methods, rather, it actually allows me to communicate with more ease and clarity.
Erin’s enthusiasm for the subject rubbed off on me and I daresay, got me excited about writing copy. I think anyone running a business could truly benefit from taking this course. I feel more confident in my writing in general, and I learned SO MUCH about what actually works and how to create excellent copy.”
STEPHANIE WOOD

“I’m a WordPower fan for life.”
Enrolling in WordPower Academy is the single best business investment I have made in the past 2 years, hands down. My copywriting has improved dramatically, but the greatest impact WordPower has created for me - the icing on the cake - is the quantum leap it has built in my self confidence.
WPA is the copywriting recipe for success: how to express who you are, what you do, how you do it and why. It blends all the ingredients for every kind of copy you need. And Erin Is the awesome-sauce on top - full of flavorful insights and sweet - but spicy enough to give you that extra zest you need to succeed!

What Makes WordPower Academy different?
A lot of copywriting programs promise to teach you a “secret formula” that anyone can use to write “cash-generating copy” that will help them crush the competition and dominate their industry, blah blah blah. (Cool story, bro.)
But the secret to writing great copy isn’t a “formula.”
It’s EMPATHY.
Yep, you read that right. Empathy.
When you’re able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and see what the world looks like through THEIR eyes, you’ll find it so much easier to communicate your value in a way that makes sense to THEM.
That’s why the WordPower Academy lessons and activities are designed to help you gain valuable clarity into the wants and needs of your ideal clients or customers – so you can see your products and services through THEIR eyes and provide the information that will give them the confidence they need to trust you and take ACTION on your offer!
“Erin’s killer copywriting skills helped me fill my last coaching program with over 850 students – and she transformed an expensive but failing sales funnel into one that now produces the leads that I wanted!”
TIA KELLY
CEO, Co-founder
“Erin is not just an extremely talented copywriter, she is a highly skilled word maven you want on your team! Erin has the ability to identify your core message, which is the most critical piece of your marketing puzzle, and present it in such a way that turns your message into a magnet for your business… And to top it all off she is an absolute pleasure to work with!”
LEAH GOARD
Personal Transformation Coach
