As a web developer, I need service providers who can make my clients (moon)shine. Jim O'Connor from Stories That Sell is one such Sheriff I regularly call upon. Jim will wade knee-deep in a river of Copy 'guff' panning for nuggets, that turn flabby, bloated, drunken words, into lean, sharp shooting, deal closers. Don't get saddle sore without him! *queue the gun shots and piano playing* Yee-haa! More...

I work as a website developer and frequently need a good copywriter to improve the content of my clients' sites. Jim does this quickly, efficiently, affordably, and provides so much more. He's got a wealth of good business knowledge, knows what delivers a punch on the page, and is focused on bridging an emotional connection between client and customer to deliver a positive return. I wouldn't consider working with anyone else. More...

This guy knows so much about marketing based copywriting, he has written a book on it.
What do you love most about your job?
Using my creativity, business knowledge and practical experience to produce something that not only satisfies the requirements of the brief but does so skilfully, elegantly and effectively. I love doing an excellent job., the best possible job given the practical constraints of the budget and deadline.
Building good relationships with people so I do such a great job of satisfying their requirements that they never, ever, want to use any other copywriter.
I also love putting great work on my website - stuff that I can feel proud of.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to concentrate on helping clients instead of sitting in pointless meetings and having to waste time around people more interested in playing politics than getting a great job done.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have 35+ years experience. Not 1 year repeated 35+ times. Long enough to know what I'm doing, and get really sharp, but not so long that I'm burnt out.
I understand how business works in the real world - so I'm quick to appreciate a client's needs. Although I've been doing this a while I constantly keep up with the latest trends, issues and approaches.
I'm an acknowledged expert. I was recently commissioned by the publisher of The Authority Guides series to write "The Authority Guide to Creating Brand Stories that Sell". I take my work seriously but not myself - not a prima donna, guru or egomaniac (the marketing industry has enough of them already).
