And just who am I?

Hi! I'm Ashlyn.

Founder and CEO at Ashlyn Writes®, a copywriting business and marketing curriculum source for creatives like you.

I’ve been obsessed with figuring out how to help creatives get words that convert WITHOUT always hiring out a pro copywriter since the day I became an entrepreneur.

When I left corporate marketing to start my small business in early 2016, finances freaked me out. I had NO idea how to read a PnL, zero concept of what to pay myself, and pricing kinda felt like guestimation. In fact, I didn’t even pay myself the first year in business ... I was terrified it would all disappear. This meant as many tears and marriage arguments as you think it did. :). 👊

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from working in media for a decade, starting my own agency, writing website and launch copy for dozens of creatives (with some single launches clocking in over a million in total revenue), and enrolling more than 6,000+ students of my own. This is a snippet of what I teach in my Market Sustainably Track, my educational component of Shanna Skidmore’s Blueprint Model curriculum. I can’t WAIT to dig into this guide with you.

You’re not excused from knowing your numbers just because math isn’t your favorite subject (lookin’ at myself here). This guide will help you get started thinking through the steps that helped me get on track.
