Hi, I am

Ties

I am a writer.

about me

Have you ever had a long-winded conversation with that unprecedentedly boring colleague that never ended? That’s exactly what bad copywriting is. Don’t be that colleague. Readers form an opinion about your copy in less than a second. 0.5 seconds, actually – and I’m here to help make sure they stick around.

I am a copywriter and SEO Specialist, so I know how to grab people’s attention and keep it locked on your website or blog post.

My curiosity is my greatest talent, but passion has brought me where I am today, so you can trust me to produce high-quality, engaging content that will convert readers into customers.

I am not the highest qualified copywriter, but then again… I’m pretty sure copywriting isn’t about being (over) qualified. Writing persuasive copy is about hard work, passion and curiosity. As Albert Einstein once said: “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious”.

Of course, I’m not comparing myself with Albert Einstein, but I do believe that curiosity is a gift.

Curiosity is my greatest talent, but passion has brought me where I am today.

FIND ME IF YOU CAN

I help businesses find their online potential and, not to be cocky, I’m pretty good at it. Your content may be stunning, but if it’s not SEO optimized, no one will read it.

PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS

Do you have doubts about your copy? About your product or brand? Can’t find the correct words to describe what you do? Let me help you.

FEEL THE DATA

I don’t just help you create SEO-proof content. I try to make people feel, think or react because that’s what it’s all about. And I substantiate that with data.
