Comments on: Are “Copy and Paste” Coaches cloning your content? http://www.techcoachforcoaches.com/cool-tools/are-copy-and-paste-coaches-cloning-your-content/ Helping Coaches build an online profitable business Wed, 26 May 2010 17:49:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sandra De Freitas http://www.techcoachforcoaches.com/cool-tools/are-copy-and-paste-coaches-cloning-your-content/comment-page-1/#comment-8789 Sandra De Freitas Tue, 02 Dec 2008 21:19:45 +0000 http://www.techcoachforcoaches.com/?p=620#comment-8789 Andrea, I totally agree. Clients will see through your inauthenticity in no time. It's not worth the copy and paste approach. Karen, it is crazy. It's not worth the headaches you will get later on because of your copy and paste job. Those who "copy and paste" tend to fall flat...you can't depend on this tactic forever and it will bite you in the behind...and boy will that hurt! If you are copying and pasting because you aren't a confident writer then hire someone to write for you. There are plenty of people who LOVE to write copy, they are great at what they do and they should be paid for their awesome work. So support a writer and save your behind ;) Andrea, I totally agree.

And totally agree with Andrea's comments about your site being an extension of you. It's not just lazy copying and pasting other people's website copy, it's plain crazy!

In the last six months, I've reviewed about 30 web sites by coaches and seen WAY too much copy that sounds alike. The content on your web site *is* an extension of who you are. And if it's not authentic, prospects sense the disjoint within the first five minutes of their conversation with you, and move on. *See Andrea get off her soapbox* Sandra . . .Thank you very much bringing this issue to light!
