Conversion-focused messaging for health & fitness brands | Driving engagement for JRM Web Marketing | Laughter is my love language

I create memorable, conversion-focused copy for health and fitness brands. Why me over other fitness copywriters? For one, I spent 15 years in the trenches as a personal trainer. I then worked my way into becoming a prolific health and fitness magazine writer. Earned a couple of awards along the way.

I interviewed hundreds of people and experts in the process.  It's why I'm able to translate fitness geek speak into relatable, understandable solutions.

My byline appears in heavy-hitters like MSN Health, TIME, Shape, Self, Woman’s Day, Men’s Fitness, Bowflex, and HuffPo, I've got a knack for understanding what people really want. 

Let's chat about how we can make your content resonate and get those decisions rolling in your favor.

My specialties include:

1. Value Proposition Audit and Strategy Roadmap

Most companies struggle with converting copy that showcases their uniqueness. My proprietary process, based on research, decision-making psychology, analytics, and customer interviews, uncovers what sets your solution apart from the rest. This special messaging audit will give you clarity, attracting more of your ideal customers in less time.

2. Email Marketing

My email sequences get noticed and opened, with clients typically experiencing a 45-50% open rate. By writing in your customer's voice, they trust you and see you as the solution they need.

3. Landing Pages, Sales Pages, Opt-ins, and More

Whether it's a landing page, email, or event brochure, I start with a deep dive into the emotions of your target audience, understanding what keeps them up at night–and what they would pay anything to be free from.

Results of my work include:

➡️ A 5-email sequence that landed a client a $70k contract 
➡️ A homepage makeover resulting in a 44% lift in page conversions
➡️ A 30% boost in opt-ins for a lifestyle program

B2B Copywriter and Marketing Strategist

Helping B2B businesses increase conversions through high-converting copy.

It's never too early for pumpkin pie. 🥧 

As a former pastry chef and bakery owner (yes, for real), I baked a lot of pies.

A lot. 

And one thing I discovered around the holidays: 

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬. 

Forget Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake... or Pumpkin-Pecan Pie... or any other artistic twist on the classics.

It's pumpkin pie or bust. The creative versions never sold.

I also realize the same approach to assembling a pie can also apply to copywriting.

You can change some of the ingredients but if you forget the basics, you're taking risks you may regret.

Here's a formula that never fails to bring in your ideal audience...

Linda Melone

pumpkin pie marketing 

"Knowing your audience" doesn't mean what you think it means.

It's NOT about their income level, state of residence, or whether they shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's.

Just because they can afford you or live in your hometown doesn't mean they'll buy from you.

Copy that converts requires emotion. If the reader doesn't feel anything, you may as well write your copy in hieroglyphics.

Knowing your audience is about:

🤕 The problem that lurks in the back of their mind every day - like a headache that's not quite a migraine but puts them in a perpetual bad mood.

🙁 It's a thing they've nearly given up on resolving but believe there's a solution they haven't yet discovered.

👉 It's about spending time in their shoes, walking through their day and seeing how this problem affects their lives.

This requires empathy. 

It's the only way to write copy that shows them you understand them so they trust you - and believe you can help them.

Vinyl record enthusiast 🎶 Content strategist 💡 copywriter ✍️

You've either

(1) got no time to network, post, AND engage consistently

OR...

(2) have the time but cannot connect with your target audience.

You feel stuck, frustrated, SOL...

It's okay. You're human and this work is the hard work.

Here's how it works:

1. We'll get clear on your who, your what, and your how 
↳ So that your audience knows you have them, their problem, and their solution in mind.

2. We'll develop high-converting messaging
↳ With algorithm-friendly content, engagement, and audience growth.

3. We'll scale your out-bound lead generation strategy
↳ Using daily/weekly/monthly KPIs to track progress.

What you'll get from me is a former teacher with an insatiable philosophical curiosity. It's why I excel at...
	- Listening to my clients
	- Identifying natural message progressions
	- Find audience building among my chief superpowers 

And those three letters at the end of my name? Don't worry about them. They remind me of where I came from and where I'm going. You'll find out what that means soon enough.

But don't just take my word for it. Here's what Kevin Huntting said about working with me: 
"Michael understands that at the heart of every successful piece of content lies a fundamental truth – the human connection. His language doesn't just reach people; it speaks to them, creating a dialogue that feels intimate despite the digital divide."

Let's start building a relationship with a pitch-free virtual coffee. You'll likely find out about my favorite vinyls.
