- Did you or your kids watch "That's So Raven?" I was a writer on the show and came up with the iconic title. -Do you like Kathy Griffin? I’ve written for her. - Do you like Monty Python? I’ve written for Eric idle. - Do you like Louis Anderson? You've got the idea. My other writing experience includes stand up, sketch, and improv in New York, and Los Angeles. As a copywriter, I’ve worked for several agencies, writing scripts, ads and social media. So whether it's writing your script, punching it up, giving feedback on it, result-delivering ad copy, jokes for your standup routine, or a roast or toast for that big occasion, I'll bring my expertise and skills to get your job to the next level.

𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥 | Content Management, Systems Management I’m a creative project manager with 13+ years of experience leading content operations, managing workflows, and supporting founders, CEOs, and creative teams behind the scenes. I’ve worked across industries from fashion and publishing to tech and digital marketing. Specializing in content management and strategy, including overseeing WordPress publishing pipelines, planning editorial calendars, managing freelancers in Slack and Asana, and turning moving parts into a working system. I'm comfortable jumping into just about any tool—Notion, Airtable, Trello, ClickUp, WordPress, you name it—and I’m always looking for smart, creative ways to simplify systems. I type 120+ WPM, pick things up fast, and genuinely enjoy helping people stay clear, focused, and ahead of schedule. Using project management and research skills, I also work as a virtual assistant (VA) to help high-end solopreneurs and small business owners so that they can focus on growth instead of day-to-day details. I keep it simple: Good projects. Great people. Lots of planning. Continuous workflow management. 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛-𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥 | Copywriting, Ghostwriting I like my copy like I like my coffee: strong, smooth, and with a little bit of bite. ☕️ I write copy that feels clean, strategic, and sharp, without sounding like a sales robot. I work with founders, creative teams, and growing brands to shape messaging that makes sense from the inside out. That means your brand voice and story are dialed in across every touchpoint: website copy, blog posts, newsletters, email flows, LinkedIn thought leadership, professional bios, speeches, course scripts, and webinar content, internal SOPs, onboarding documents, sales decks, brand guidelines, pitch decks, product descriptions, FAQ pages, case studies, lead magnets, press releases, and investor materials. Niche? I’ve written for healthcare, technical Saas start-ups, and other detailed industries where clarity and accuracy matter as much as tone does. I’m a strong researcher and naturally curious, which means I’m confident writing across a wide range of industries, including pet care, veterinary, dental, digital marketing, branding, fashion, forestry, fitness, coworking spaces, construction, and real estate. 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 | Strategy, Editing, Production, Systems, Workflow I’m a podcast consultant and behind-the-scenes (aka ghost) producer who helps creators, coaches, brands, and entertainment pros like filmmakers, writers, performers, and comedians launch, manage, and run their shows. Bring your voice, your vision, your spark. I’ll manage the moving parts, production flow, scheduling, and freelancers, so your podcast runs like a well-oiled machine. Specializing in full podcast workflow: launch planning, episode scheduling, guest coordination, script prep, editing, post-production, uploading, show notes, and everything in between. I also help streamline systems, build SOPs, and keep your production process organized using tools like Google Drive, Notion, Trello, Libsyn, Blubrry, and Simplecast. As a 👻 ghost producer, I work without credit (don’t worry, I’ve got my own shows where I take the spotlight!) and focus fully on giving you a smooth, polished process that supports your voice, vision, and goals.

Your brand deserves better than generic messaging. You need copy that builds trust and communicates real expertise. I work with businesses to create content that doesn’t just read well, but performs—grounded in SEO, buyer intent, and how people actually discover and evaluate products today. I can write content for your business that is relatable, relevant to your brand's goals, and delivered quickly. No fluff, no nonsense. At heart, I'm a storyteller. I love writing descriptive copy that helps readers feel connected to the product or brand I'm writing about. I also have the drive you need to complete every single project on time and to your standards. My primary goal? To help small and large businesses grow by approaching copywriting from their customers' perspectives. In addition to articles, blogs, and web copy, I’ve written white-label thought leadership for executives and SMEs—helping translate complex ideas into clear, credible content that builds authority. I know the importance of researching every small detail related to a brand's products/services. I also recognize it's equally important to write in a way that feels natural, empathetic, and human. What industries am I comfortable writing for? Just about any. But here are a few I've written lots of content for. ✈️ Travel 📱 Technology 📈 SaaS 🤖 Robotics 💻 AI 🥗 Food and Beverage 🔭 Science 🩺 Health & Wellness 🛒 Ecommerce 🔖 Job Search Advice 📈 B2B & B2C Marketing 🔐 Cybersecurity 📚 Education 🏂 Winter Sports ⚓️ Sailing/Boating 🏡 Real Estate If you don't see your industry/niche on that list, there's still a good chance I've worked with a brand in your space! Need an article writer to create blog posts? No problem. How about someone to write SEO product descriptions that rank high on SERP but actually get customers to click "purchase now"? I can do that, too. Maybe you just need someone to quickly proofread and edit your landing page...I'd love to help! Before becoming a copywriter, I was a bartender in San Francisco for over 10 years. I know the importance of meeting strict deadlines while staying cool under pressure. I try to carry those friendly, confident vibes over to my copywriting. But it's not all small talk. My work combines clear messaging, search visibility, and conversion-focused structure—so content doesn’t just sit on a page, it actually works. I take every project as seriously as the last, and stand by my copywriting results and reputation on Upwork. See that "available now" badge? I'm ready to help right away, and can work for my hourly rate or on a fixed price per word/project. 📲 Send me a message or a job invite, and let's build content that earns attention and leads to action.

Experts promising to build you a "revenue-generating" sales funnel for under $1,000 in under a week...HA! Recycling templates, doing ZERO research, unaware of your market sophistication, using AI to come up with a weak offer... Don't be shocked if your sales funnel attracts freebie seekers, wannabe learners, bored scrollers killing time, desperate people with no budget... To attract REAL buyers, CONSISTENTLY, your sales funnels & b2b sales funnel need: ✅ Ads with exceptional messaging (interest-targeting doesn't work in 2026) ✅ An irresistible offer (don't be lazy with that one) ✅ Sales assets that build trust (don't get on phone calls before they are sold) ✅ A funnel that builds desire (to filter out non-buyers) ✅ An experienced sales funnel copywriter who RUNS HIS OWN ads + sales funnels, and cares about your business making money (not a freelancer who leaves when he thinks his job is done) If you are looking for: ✔️ A Sales Funnel Copywriter who understands ClickFunnels and GoHighLevel ✔️ Someone who can design landing pages and sales pages that convert ✔️ Proven marketing strategy paired with social media marketing and advertising ✔️ Expert lead generation systems, email marketing, copywriting, and automation ✔️ Deep experience with Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, digital marketing, and conversion-focused internet marketing (sorry for the keyword stuffing here) We should talk. Whether it’s a low ticket funnel, high ticket funnel, webinar funnel, book funnel, or a b2b sales funnel... My work as a Sales Funnel Copywriter closes these gaps with better offer positioning, stronger landing pages, more effective email marketing, and strategic lead-generation systems. The goal is the same every time: a b2b sales funnel that brings a steady flow of qualified leads. How I Work 1- We start with a consultation to understand your business, your customer, and your goals. 2- We research your market so your offer is strong and clear. 3- You get a simple strategy that positions your offer as the obvious choice. 4- We build your sales assets, your funnel, and your emails so buyers trust you and take action. 5- We launch everything, track performance, and optimize until your funnel brings qualified buyers consistently. Every build includes: • Strategic marketing plan • Landing page design and sales-focused funnel copy • Social media advertising campaigns that filter out broke leads • Lead generation systems and email campaigns • Email sequences plus ad copywriting • Ongoing optimization and campaign management 📥 If you are serious about getting a funnel that can produce predictable lead flow, invite me now or DM me on Instagram @dominibou.
