Hopped on a quick call over my content with Matt. He helped me make my offer and message more clear. He audited my page and content, and made me realise things I hadn't before. His content skills are up there, would recommend

As a fellow creator on LinkedIn, I've been following Matt's work for a while now. His insights and expertise have been a goldmine of learning, and I've seen my writing improve in leaps and bounds, almost unwittingly. In the world of content creation, where words are the currency and creativity the driving force, Matt stands out as a true master of his craft. He's not just a copywriter, he's a mentor and a guide for creators and writers seeking to reach perfection. If you're a creator or writer on LinkedIn, here's why you need Matt on your team: ⭐ Expert guidance - it’s clear from everything he shares on LinkedIn, Matt knows the ins and outs of content creation. He can guide you through the maze of writing, helping you sidestep common errors and seize golden opportunities. ⭐ Hands-on help - Matt isn't just about giving advice; he's about getting his hands dirty. He's there to provide feedback, make improvements, and ensure your content is as compelling as a page-turner novel. ⭐ Skill development - Matt's mission goes beyond improving your content; he's 100% dedicated to enhancing your skills. He's committed to teaching you the art of writing, transforming you from a budding writer into a master wordsmith. ⭐ Lead generation and client acquisition - good writing isn't just about expression, it's about persuasion. With Matt's guidance, you'll learn how to write in a way that attracts leads and lands clients, turning your words into a powerful business tool. But don't let his professional prowess overshadow his cool factor. Outside of the writing arena, Matt is as cool as they come. He can play a set of drums like he's headlining a rock concert. So, if you're a creator or writer looking to elevate your content from ordinary to extraordinary, Matt is your go-to guy. 😃 He's got the skills, the experience, and the wit to guide you on your journey. And who knows? With Matt's help, you might just find that creating content is as exhilarating as headlining that rock concert. Keep up the fantastic work, Matt 😊

Matt is not a writer. He's an analytical thinker who happens to be good with words too. This is a very, very rare breed -- I should know, I spent the last 10 years scouring the internet for people like him and it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. He's the needle in the huge haystack so if you stumble upon his profile, congratulations! You've hit the jackpot! A lot of people can write pretty words that read well. But can they align them to reader intent? To your business goals? Can they teach you how to approach effective writing? Matt can! He knows how to make words work FOR you. Follow him, read his posts, download his carousels or, better yet, hire him to coach you on how to put those words to work!
