I am a writer seeking to offer my services to businesses. I have experienced the frustration of being manipulated into buying online courses and ebooks though questionable sales funnels. I have paid “charm prices.” I have seen many penalize those who pay in monthly installments rather than in full, meaning those who paid in installments ended up paying 15, 20, 25% more in the end than those who paid in full. I am sick of the incestuous affiliate marketing circle jerk that is the online course industry.

For me as a creative agency, the client and business relationship is an amazing thing. You provide them with something they need and something they love, and you are rewarded for it. Being paid for work is amazing, but having an on-going relationship where you can really help them make a difference in their business is something quite amazing.

As a strategic copywriter I want my clients to have the confidence that any copy I produce for them aligns with ethical selling practices. Part of my mission is to make ethical selling the norm and use facts to drive decision-making rather than icky tactics.

I don’t have to change my prices to round numbers, because they already were! Delighted to find a group of like-minded marketers.

I am making the ethical move because many of my business colleagues have fallen prey to these tactics, as have I. As a content writer, I know that it is important to use my words ethically, and that is the entire backstory of how I got started. Therefore, taking this pledge and making the ethical move is the outward sign of the commitment I am making to myself and my clients to be a part of the solution via written words, and not contribute to the manipulation and sleaziness.

I am making the ethical move because I am tired of being manipulated into sales, and because I’m tired of living in a world that values economical growth at the cost of people, animals, plants, environmental well being. Because I believe in a better way, and want to be a part of the solution. Not through manipukation- that’s not a true solution anyway.

I have always worked this way. Love, truth and honesty are paramount to my personal spiritual and working life. I deem it a vital practice and an absolute necessity to the growth and wellbeing of the individual as part of a wider community. Together we are stronger, support and abundance are interconnected. One cannot exist without the other.

I was part of the problem. I came into business from education and knew nothing about marketing myself. I was taught a particular way not knowgin there was another way, but I always felt uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable. When we know better, we do better.

As a therapist I’m committed to an ethical framework for how I practice. Why would I then not show the same level of ethical integrity when I’m offering training? Building connections that have the foundations of trust and transparency are more meaningfu
