Forget video. Story is King.

A great story is the key to stopping the scroll and keeping the attention of your target audience. But how do we write stories people actually care about and will encourage them to turn from casual readers into loyal fans?

That’s our topic today with copywriter and storyteller, Marisa Corcoran.

In this episode, Marisa put me on the hot seat to teach listeners just how easily her signature Story Stripdown process turns your boring, informational social copy into humorous, meaningful, and memorable stories that build your audience.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: 

• The brain’s attraction to story
• Sharing our slice-of-life moments
• The two things purchasing decisions are based on
• The story stripdown process
• Keeping a story at the ready
• Why the best copy can’t fix a muddy message
• Non-sexy transitions
• Creating scroll-stopping subject lines

…And More!

About the Guest

Marisa's magic lies in creating intentional icons, whether it's supporting 400+ coaches and creatives to craft their uncopyable message inside her signature program, The Copy Confidence Society. Or helping business owners create their own stage with The Signature Summit System to grow their community and build rockstar relationships.

When not click-clacking on her laptop in the Atlanta sun, you can find this Harvard grad analyzing a Real Housewives episode like it’s government policy and consuming inappropriate amounts of Nutrageous candy bars.
