Hey Reader! I'm in heavy content and copy mode for my Stay Ready Course Bundlecoming in March, and I figured I'd let you into the not-so-sexy part (or is it the sauciest EVER?!) Wanna know what makes copywriting 90% easier? It's not buzz words or sexy psychology hacks. It's being ridiculously organized with your research. (NERD ALERT 🤓) Let me share da sauce! First, every page gets a color-coded label system in the header (yes, I'm that person 😉). I mean, how else are you supposed to highlight something for later and know exactly why you did it? I'll wait...
When I'm going through strategy calls, client interviews, or my Happy Copy Hour sessions, I break everything into clearly labeled sections so I (or AI) know exactly where to look for what. Colors can indicate offers I'm referencing, messaging, action items, assets, or questions I need answering. Sometimes I'll even listen to the recording while I review to catch those golden nuggets of insight. (Context matters!)
I use brackets and header sizes to highlight key points and add comments for copy or content inspiration. This saves my ass every time I need to reference a giant chunk of content for crafting sales pages, setting up automations, or planning launch strategy. It's clear in the margins what purpose (who, what, why) this block of letters serves and makes combing for inspo pretty painless. Like numbing cream for Botox... 💉 Here’s why it matters: Having an organized system means you can
Once you have this system down, you get more time to get nerdy about your own business instead of wondering what everybody and their mama is doing. No more transcripts collecting dust in your Fathom library. No more email drafts left to rot on the cutting room floor. Who knows -- your winning headline, tagline, or email could be sitting in the dungeon of strategy and client calls you call a Dropbox. Happy Nerding! 🤓 Christina Torres p.s. would you be up for doing some spring copy cleaning together? maybe free workshop style. click this to vote! Let's make it happen :)

Reader... So here’s the deal – I’m considering running a monthly Stay Ready Workshop series that covers everything from: Quick Copy That Converts (like the one I just did) Quick Market Research That Validates $$$ Offers Quick Content Plans That Save You Time (and hair) Quick DIY Brand Voice & Vibe Generator And more “Quick ___ That ___” goodness I really love nerding out about this stuff so it's a no brainer for me. But before I go all in, I want to make sure this is something y’all actually...
Reader? Have you ever tried defining your brand voice and ended up with some snooze-worthy adjectives like “professional,” “warm,” or “authentic”? That’s about as helpful as your aunty telling you to “just be yourself” before the blind date she set you up with. THANKS TITI, but that doesn’t tell me what to say when they ask me about my hobbies or how many kids I want. (do people still have those....?)

Reader, fellow do-it-all-er! Remember filling out your own college financial aid forms because your parents were working double shifts or simply didn’t know where to start? Or advocating for abuela at doctor's appointments because the system wasn't built for her? Translating not just language, but entire worlds of institutional barriers nobody prepared your family for? That unpaid labor wasn’t just about tech support – it was about surviving systems designed to exclude. Banking forms your...
