For the past 14 years, I've helped over 350 brands go from hot mess to high conversion as a brand voice copywriter and content strategist. I love my job because it lets me flex both sides of my brain. 

With the creative side, I write copy that sounds so much like you, mama don't know the difference. (But your conversion data knows. 👀)

With the strategic side, I help put the strategy, people, and systems in place to make sure your content marketing is actually helping you reach your business goals.

And I’m ready to give my whole brain to you. (To be clear, I mean in a business capacity, not a gift bag.)

Some things you can hire me for:
⚡ Copywriting for sales pages, website copy, emails, funnels, & more
⚡ Content marketing strategy & implementation
⚡ SEO strategy & implementation
⚡ Brand voice and messaging strategy
⚡ Building your content team and systems

I work on a project/contract and retainer basis. I'm also always open to full-time opportunities that align with my brilliance and skillset.

I'm not for everyone. But I might be for you. Hit me up: hello@sarahjaneburt.com

There’s something I don’t see ANYONE on LinkedIn talking about right now. And it’s time to change that…

Here’s what your Slack lunch emoji says about you.

🥪 Sandwich. You just wanna let people know you’re on lunch without thinking too hard about it. You’re probably actually eating a sandwich for lunch.

🌯 Burrito. See Sandwich but with a finer palette.

🍝 Spaghetti. Like me, you enjoy romanticizing your life a little to distract yourself from “the horrors.” 

While lunch looks more like a Built Puff bar, a hard-boiled egg, and 3 mini cans of Coke Zero, you’re gonna eat it while dancing in $80 slippers to Sade on vinyl. It’s giving spaghetti energy, even if it’s more akin to a college kid realizing they can eat whatever they want because they’re an adult now.

If you let the intrusive thoughts win, you probably would have put the little umbrella drink 🍹as your status. But your coworkers might not understand that you’re not actually drinking a mai tai at noon. And you need this job.

Smooth operator. Smoooooth oper-aydarrrr

🍱 See Spaghetti but with a finer palette. This is the emoji I use for my lunch break block in my Google calendar. But it’s a more refined energy in there.

🥗 Salad. You’re a realist. And by that, I don’t mean you’re actually eating a salad for lunch. You recognize the only emoji that can truly communicate the feeling of a sad work-from-home lunch is a salad. 

Cold. Limp. Flavorless. Supposedly good for you, but really just putting off the inevitable… the heat death of the universe.

Either that or you’re the type of guy that wakes up at 4 am to a nice cold plunge and finishes the day with 4 hours of CrossFit. But let’s be honest, that guy is not actually eating lunch. He’s mainlining Huel. And there’s no Huel emoji.

🥑 Avocado. You recognize and relish the absurdity of life. (Truthfully, I only included this one because someone I work with uses it, and every time I see it, I delight in imagining her eating an avocado for lunch every day.)

No emoji status - For me, this is the true wild card. It could be one of a few things:

1. You are a self-employed solo. No one is in your Slack except a few forgotten Slack connects from past clients who probably did not pay you enough to warrant having that kind of access to you. Occasionally, you see the little circle by the client’s name go green and daydream about someone actually paying an invoice on time.

2. You give zero fks. This Slack message does not find you. You’re unfindable. Unknowable. Unreachable. From 12 to 12:30 you don’t even have a job or a home or a care in the world. You’re feral.

3. You are not eating lunch. You’ve forgotten what lunch is. You’re severed from 9 to 5 each day.

This is what we’re supposed to write about on LinkedIn, right? 

Yes, I wrote this on my lunch break. And yes, there’s nothing I want more than for you to drop your Slack lunch break emoji and allow me to read you for filth.

It took me 15 years for my first agency to hit 7 figures. 

I sold it in 2023.  My next agency hit $1M in 8 months. 

Those first 15 years taught me a lot about growing a service business. 

I learned the pains of not knowing:
- Where my next client was coming from 
- How to navigate sales calls
- Which marketing efforts worked
- How to scale growth predictably 

But one by one, I found solutions to these problems. 

Today, I’ve constructed those solutions into a battle tested system that consistently attracts and converts my dream customers. 

It’s the exact system I’ve used to take Quantum Leads from $0 to 7 figures in 8 months. 

Now, I am booking calls and closing deals regularly, all because I took the time to learn how to book sales calls through content and lead generation.

I realized I’m not the only person struggling with these problems. So I decided to share my system with other service business owners through Copyblogger Academy. 

Inside the Copyblogger Academy, you’ll learn:

- How to choose the right marketing channels
- How to attract leads from that channel
- How to do outbound in a way that feels genuine

Once you’ve implemented the system and are attracting leads, I’m happy to give you more one on one coaching through the Sales Accelerator.

Inside, I’ll walk you through the process of navigating sales calls and closing clients in a way that feels natural, not salesy. 

Copyblogger Academy is the solution I wish I had 10 years ago. If it sounds interesting, you can join through the link in my bio. I'll see you on the timeline.

Money buys the seat. Culture buys the heart.

I’ve seen founders try to "raise" their way out of a toxic environment. They offer 20% salary bumps to stop the bleeding, only to wonder why their best people still quit six months later.

The math is simple, but most leaders ignore it:
A salary increase is a dopamine hit. It’s a peak that eventually becomes the new baseline.

A healthy culture is a steady state. It’s the absence of "Sunday scaries" and the presence of psychological safety.

In 2026, talent has more options than ever. If your only leverage is a paycheck, you are vulnerable to anyone with a bigger bank account.
But if your leverage is a culture of high agency, clear communication, and mutual respect? You become uncopyable.

Stop trying to "pay" people to be happy. Start building a place where they actually enjoy doing the work.

How do you define a "healthy culture" in one word? Let’s see yours in the comments. 👇

P.S. I’ve spent years refining the systems I use to scale my business portfolio without losing my mind (or my team). I share the raw frameworks and internal blueprints I use to build "freedom-first" businesses every week.

Don't build a cage, build an asset. Join us here: timstodz.com 🚀

Data isn't an asset. It’s just noise.

Most founders I talk to are drowning in "Bricks." They have:

Spreadsheets full of customer data.
Endless lists of "to-do" tasks.
A pile of half-finished ideas.

They think they have a business. In reality, they just have a messy pile of LEGOs.

To build a 7-figure "Machine," you have to move past the raw materials:

1. Sorted: Group your data. Understand what moves the needle and what's just filler.

2. Arranged: Build the framework. This is where your internal systems live.

3. Presented Visually: Make it clear. If your team can't see the vision, they can't build it.

4. Explained with a Story: This is the ultimate level.

People don't buy your data. They don't even buy your "sorted" features. They buy the story of the life your product builds for them. The best entrepreneurs aren't just great operators; they are master storytellers who use data to prove the dream is real.

Stop showing people your pile of bricks. Show them the home you’re building.

I see it every day. Brilliant people spend months (even years) waiting for the right certification, the perfect website, or a "permission slip" from the market to finally call themselves an entrepreneur.

Here is the cold, hard truth:

-You don’t become a qualified freelancer by studying you become one after your 5th client.
-You don’t become a qualified founder by writing a business plan you become one a year after you’ve actually started running the machine.
-Qualification isn't a prerequisite. It's a byproduct of action.

In my own journey, the most high-leverage assets I own were built when I was "unqualified." I didn't wait for permission; I built the system and let the results do the talking.

The only way to become qualified is to take action when you’re unqualified. Get in the game.

Stop over-thinking the blueprints. The market is the only teacher that matters.

The fear of looking like a beginner is the fastest way to stay stagnant.

If you aren't willing to be bad at something new, you’ll never be great at the next big thing.

In my business, I’ve had to "suck" at plenty of things before they became assets:

My first few newsletters were a mess.

My first service offerings were underpriced and over-delivered.
My first attempts at systematizing my workflow were clunky and failed.

But here is the secret: 

The "learning" phase is where the leverage is born. Switching your mindset from "I can't" to "I'll learn" is the only way to build a business that outlasts the current trend.

When you embrace being a beginner, you gain a competitive advantage. You’re willing to experiment while your competitors are too busy trying to look perfect.

Don’t let your current success stop your future growth. Be brave enough to suck today so you can dominate tomorrow.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a start date.

I talk to founders every week who are paralyzed by the "Impossible." They look at 7-figure portfolios or automated business machines and think, "I'm not great enough to build that yet."

They have it backward.

Greatness isn't a prerequisite. It's a trailing indicator.

As Zig Ziglar famously put it: "You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

In my world, "Doing the Impossible" is just a series of small, documented steps:

-The Impossible is just a problem you haven't systematized yet.
-The Greatness is just the result of staying in the game long enough for the math to work.
-The Mindset is simply choosing to see a bottleneck as a puzzle rather than a barrier.

If you wait until you feel "ready" or "great" to launch that project, hire that operator, or scale that asset, you've already lost. The market doesn't reward the most prepared; it rewards the most persistent.

Stop over-thinking the blueprints. Just start building the first room.

The most dangerous word in business is "Busy." 🚩

In 2026, being busy is often just a mask for being disorganized.
I see founders working 14-hour days, jumping from one "viral" trend to the next, yet their revenue hasn't moved in six months.

Here is the "Machine" perspective:

Busy people react to the algorithm. Operators build an email list.
Busy people try to be everywhere. Operators dominate one channel.
Busy people trade time for money. Operators build systems that compound.

If you are the only "engine" in your business, you don't have a business you have a job that doesn't let you sleep.

The goal isn't to work more. It's to build things that work for you.
Stop measuring your success by how tired you are. Start measuring it by how much of your business runs without your manual input.

What is one "manual" task you are finally going to automate this week? Let’s solve it in the comments. 👇

P.S. I share the exact blueprints I use to scale my business portfolio without the burnout. No "hustle culture" fluff just the systems that actually work.
