There are so many brilliant tools and apps now on the market to make your copywriting journey a success. Oh, how I wish, so many of these had been around in the early days of my career… but I digress.

One of my favourite go-to tools for uncovering exactly what my clients (and yours) are Googling is answerthepublic.com

Answer The Public

The tool is completely free (with a maximum usage per day) where you can plug in a search term and explore what the wild, wild, internet is searching about that term.

You’ll uncover gems like “what is a Copywriter?”, “How much do Copywriters make?”, “Where can I find a Life Coach?”, “What is Word Magic?”, “How do I know a Coach is qualified?”, etc.

And, WHY, would you want to know all this?

Simple.

Content.

By checking what real people are Googling about a search term, you’ll have hundreds of publishing ideas for books, blogs, social posts, Tiktoks and even programs/products you may want to offer.

It’s a veritable gold mine of ideas based on a search term.

Happy searching!

Most authors spend years writing their book and three weeks thinking about the launch. Here's the launch strategy that actually works — and why it needs to start before the manuscript is finished.

What Happens After You Write Your Book? The Launch Strategy Most Authors Miss

Most authors spend years writing a book and three weeks thinking about how to launch it. The book arrives quietly. A few hundred copies sell. The speaking enquiries don't materialise. The business doesn't shift. And the author is left wondering what went wrong — not realising that the launch strategy needed to start before the last chapter was written. Here's what actually works.
Book coaching is an unregulated industry. Anyone can call themselves one. Here are the 7 questions that separate the coaches who finish books from the ones who don't.

How to Choose a Book Coach: The 7 Questions to Ask Before You Hire Anyone

Book coaching is one of the most unregulated spaces in publishing. There are no qualifications required, no industry board, no certification that guarantees competence. Anyone can put up a website and call themselves a book coach — and thousands of people do. Which means that the difference between a transformative experience and an expensive disappointment comes down entirely to the questions you ask before you sign anything. These are the seven questions that matter.
You have the story. You have the expertise. You've started three times. Here's the honest diagnosis of what's actually stopping you — and the one change that fixes it.

Why Your Book Isn’t Getting Written (And What to Do About It)

You've started the book. More than once, probably. You have notes in four different places, a half-finished introduction somewhere in your downloads folder, and a running list of chapter ideas that felt brilliant at 2am and slightly less brilliant in the morning. The book isn't getting written — and deep down you suspect the problem isn't time, or discipline, or talent. You're right. Here's what the problem actually is.

You’ve told more people about this book than you’ve written pages of it.

The Bestseller Blueprint is the advice I would give you… if you asked. Okay, even if you didn’t… but you should.

Six parts, about forty minutes. Whether the book is worth writing, where AI quietly costs you the copyright to your own book, which publishing door to walk through and what each one really costs in 2026, and what happens to the book after launch week.

Every number in it is sourced. Where the honest answer is that nobody knows, I say so.

The newsletter is publishing, what I’m actually working on, and the bits nobody says out loud. No six-part win-back sequence if you leave.
