How a Sustainability Copywriter can

Help You While You Sleep

By combining SEO, blog writing, copywriting, product descriptions, and some kind words to create attractive inbound marketing strategies that boost sales and sustainability. That is how a sustainability copywriter works.

SEO works while you sleep. Once a blog post is up and running, it’s running. There’s no need to post at a certain time on social media. There is no need for expensive ads - Pinterest is fine. And there is no need to keep office hours to answer phone calls.

If you are asking for the difference between a sustainability copywriter and an eco-friendly copywriter. Both work as eco-friendly businesses and as sustainable copywriting in the sustainable environmental community. 

I have chosen to work as a freelance sustainability copywriter. You need a unique brand voice for your passion project. This includes website copy for your landing page, blogs, and email marketing that is not pushy.

As an Eco-Friendly copywriter, I work to understand how we can work to reduce our carbon footprint in our work, in our homes, and in our hobbies. For your online business, you may want to explore sustainable website hosting, and accurately track your carbon footprint. As sustainable business owners, we educate ourselves on the three pillars of sustainability and the six R’s of sustainability, and we want to follow these principles in our business practices.

Make your eco-story convert, Storytelling Blog

Your brand story is what sets you apart from the competition and gives your customers a reason to choose you over them. That's where storytelling comes in.

    Why hire a copywriter?

What influences my writing the most?

I have often used hero journeys in stories. I want readers to experience adventure, align with the mission, and change in the final product. A sustainability copywriter knows the hero's journey as an age-old story arc that has been around for centuries. It relates closely to psychologically immersive content and is meant to get people hooked on your message. 

Occasionally I incorporate my own pop culture! Pop culture can make it easy for authors to connect to audiences by providing great references to Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, or Succession. I love a good story, I love telling a good story for sustainable brands that are conscious of our environment and how fragile it is.

Your brand is more than just a brand

Your brand is built on a strong foundation. You know how conscious consumers are voting on brands with similar values. As a  sustainability and mindful copywriter, I know the value you espouse, and I want to share your brand with the world and your local community.

How do I share my values?

Values such as natural foods; sustainable packaging; sourcing recycled and upcycled materials; Fair labor and fair trade across the globe; slow fashions; and ethical business processes— all day every day. As a sustainability copywriter or green copywriter, I am responsible for creating a content marketing strategy for your business.
