1. Add contrast to your content writing.

Repeat after me: Effective health business content is dynamic.

One solid way to add dynamics to your content is through contrast. Contrast keeps your writing engaging by varying sentence structure, tone, and pacing. It also makes your voice feel more natural and effortless.

Instead of:
“A well-balanced diet supports good health. It’s important to eat nutritious meals every day.”

Write this:
“Some days, eating healthy feels easy. Other days, you just want to eat a bag of chips for dinner. The good news? A balanced diet doesn’t require you to be perfect. It just requires consistency.”

The second version includes sentences of contrasting lengths and styles. Overall, it flows more naturally, feels relatable, and draws the right people in (AKA those who share your perspective on healthy eating).

2. Replace generic phrases with vivid details.

Words like “game-changing,” “amazing,” and “high-quality” are overused and don’t create a connection with potential buyers. Instead, specificity makes your message feel more tangible and personal.

Instead of:
“This supplement boosts energy and supports overall wellness.”

Add specificity with this:
“This supplement helps you wake up refreshed, avoid the afternoon slump, and stay focused…without the caffeine crash!”

When you write with clarity, your audience immediately recognizes how your offer fits into their life. You don’t have to push them toward a sale; they naturally lean in because they see themselves in your message.

3. Make your health business content conversational.

Many people default to a formal tone in their writing because they think it makes them sound more scientifically sound or professional. But stiff, robotic language can create distance between you and your audience. The easiest way to make your writing more engaging? Read it out loud. If it doesn’t sound like something you’d say in conversation, then rewrite it.

Remove this:
“Proper hydration is necessary for optimal bodily function.”

Write this:
“Volume isn’t the only aspect of staying hydrated. Proper hydration is so much more involved than you might think. It affects your energy, digestion, and even your mood.”

When your content feels natural, the right people will feel drawn to you. You’re not trying to win them over; you’re simply expressing your perspective. Those who align with it will recognize your offer as the right choice for them.

By embracing your voice, your message becomes a magnet. The more you trust that your right-fit clients will find you, the less you have to chase them.

1. You’re happy with the people your health practice is attracting, but you want to maintain a more consistent, predictable roster.

2. You’ve been thinking about growing your client base to not only feel more fulfilled professionally but also to increase your revenue.

Idea I Want to Share With You as a Copywriter for Small Businesses

Bringing in more clients starts with increasing awareness that you exist. It also involves trusting the process – trusting that the right people will engage with your online content over time. Eventually, the content you share will help people realize they need your services or programs to address their health concerns and wellness goals.

Pivotal Question

How do you increase public awareness of your practice or business?

We Could Approach This in Multiple Ways, but I’m Gonna Suggest This Answer

Digital marketing is the key for growing your health and wellness practice. You can create a multi-channel or omni-channel presence depending on your energy and where your target audience spends time online. Alternatively, you can keep it simple by focusing on one platform. Either way, ensure you have these three essential elements:

1. A social media platform – Publicly showcase your health and wellness business.

2. A website – Make sure you write this in your unique brand voice. This provides easy opportunities for visitors to book appointments or take the next appropriate step with your practice.

3. An email list – Create a private channel to engage with your audience.

If This Already Sounds Like a Lot, Don’t Worry

If managing all three elements feels overwhelming, the good news is you don’t have to create new content for each platform. You can repurpose your content, which offers two major benefits: 

1. Content repurposing saves time – You don’t have to constantly think of fresh ideas.

2. Content repurposing keeps your messaging consistent – Your leads won’t be confused about your personality, values, or offerings.

Getting Started: Non-Negotiable #1

To make this happen, stay as organized as possible. Write all your content in a Google Doc, rather than jotting ideas down on paper or in your phone’s notes app. Writing inside a social media app or email platform is risky—glitches happen, and you could lose valuable content. Always title your Google Docs according to the key ideas within them to stay organized.

Getting Started: Non-Negotiable #2

Eliminate distractions during content creation. This might mean leaving your phone in another room or putting it on airplane mode. Alternatively, take your laptop to a park and write offline in a Google Doc (like I’m doing right now). Whatever your method, set up an environment that promotes relaxation and clear thinking.

Getting Started: Non-Negotiable #3

Write in a way that leverages your natural strengths. If your ideas flow better when spoken out loud, record yourself talking through a piece of content and type up the key points as you listen back. If writing in full paragraphs feels overwhelming, jot down bullet points in your Google Doc and later convert them into a paragraph.

The Logistics of Writing for Multiple Channels

When repurposing content for your three platforms (social media, website, and email), it’s typically easier to move from long-form writing to short-form. In other words, write a cohesive, personality-filled website first, then break that down into smaller pieces for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. This is usually simpler than stringing together small social media chunks into a five-page website.

The Exception to This Rule

I’ll contradict myself here. If you’re creating a brand voice guidelines (BVG) document, it makes sense to write short-form content first. This is something I do for my clients when they hire me to write a full website. The BVG document contains key marketing messages, organized by length and perspective.

For example, one section of the BVG might have a two- or three-paragraph message written in the first person (using “I” or “we”) to create a personal connection with the reader. Another section might have under-10-word messages that give a quick snapshot of your business’s core offer. Once the BVG is completed, you can copy-and-paste your marketing messages onto your Instagram bio, LinkedIn about section, and other short-form settings.

However, my original point was that you can use the short-form messages within your BVG to create long-form pieces like your entire website homepage, for example.

Now That You Know About BVG, Here’s How You Might Wanna Proceed

1. Write your brand voice guidelines (BVG).

2. Write your five-page website (or write more pages, depending on your needs).

3. Write your social media posts.

4. Write your emails.

(I’ll admit I’m oversimplifying digital marketing with this four-point list.)
