  • How to Tell Stories that sell: Getting People to pay attention & Pay for your products


    Copywriting is one of the most important skills in business. Unfortunately, too many people still write like it’s the 1800s.

    In this talk, Jon shows how you can change that and apply what he learned as a popular writer for Forbes, Time Magazine, and Fast Company.

    He’ll teach you how to simplify your messaging without dumbing it down, write headlines and social copy to increase engagement, and tell stories to get people to pay attention to your brand — and pay for your products.
