Non-profit and charity content writing training

Customised Non-Profit Content Writing Training means exactly that.

Your workshop will be fully tailored to the content challenges and goals that your writers and organisation face.

Depending on your objectives and needs, we could cover topics such as:

• how people read online today
• constructing easy-to-scan content
• engaging your busy web audiences
• finding your tone of voice
• powerful digital storytelling
• persuasive copywriting techniques
• SEO/Google-rank copywriting
•  attention-grabbing titles, headlines and subheads
• body copy that hooks and holds readers
• driving desired actions
• blog writing
• email, social and video script writing
• using AI Writers/ChatGPT  to write better and faster

Or anything else that’s important to your content writing success.

In your tailored and highly interactive course, your team will:

• Learn the latest best practices – in web writing, user experience and accessibility
• Get inside reader’s heads – to know exactly what to say to capture and hold attention
• Gain pro copywriting skills – to improve content structure, flow and engagement
• Use persuasion techniques – that make readers want to keep reading and act now
• Discuss and improve their content – so they can apply what they learn where it counts
• Receive proven templates – to write high-performing content, quickly and easily
• Understand AI writer tools like Chat GPT – and how they can lift their content quality and speed.

Plus, walk away with my 24 years of digital writing knowledge writing for hundreds of big brands, government agencies, non-profits and SMBs.

I’m one of Australia’s most experienced digital copywriters and trainers.

The techniques and skills I share with your participants work today – backed by world’s best

research, and testing in my own writing projects on a daily basis.

They’ll sponge up my 24 years of knowledge gained writing, consulting and training for non-profits, government agencies, Microsoft, PayPal, Canva and hundreds of other big brand and SME clients.

Time and again, clients and participants say the level of customisation I deliver is what makes the training so effective.

To prepare for your session, I’ll deep dive to:

• understand your needs
• analyse your content
• research your sector
• design training that brings your writers immediate and long-term benefits.

And deliver a program that meets your exact needs.

Equipped with more confident, capable and effective web writers, your organisation will benefit from:

• more website traffic and engagement
• greater awareness of your cause
• increased funding and support
• fewer ‘admin’ calls and emails
• happier staff
• writing that reflects well on your brand
• accessible content

I’ve been conducting training for over 15 years because I love helping people gain the skills and confidence to write in ways they could only imagine, be it:

• customised team training
• one-to-one coaching
• lecturing at Sydney University CCE
• run courses at General Assembly
• mentoring gifted kids in remote areas.

One thing I’ve learned is that people gain knowledge, confidence and skills in a workshop that’s:

• highly interactive
• highly relevant
• practical and fun.

You can be assured that your training will be as interesting, inspiring and entertaining as it is educational.

They can be delivered face-to-face, online or as a blend of each.

Whatever best suits you.

I also run customised training for companies overseas, either online or in-person.

Workshop lengths and schedules are made-to-measure too.

The amount of time required will depend on the number of topics you want to cover.

Some popular formats are:

• Face-to-face: Usually one full day (5 – 7hrs) or split over two half days.
• Online (Zoom, MS Teams, etc): Usually over two or more sessions (2 – 4hrs each)
• Blend: One half-day in-person and then follow half-day session online

Other clients prefer to run training over a longer period. For example:

• 3-hour sessions over 3 weeks (9hrs total)
• 2-hour sessions over 4 weeks (8hrs total)

I can take you through all the options and benefits of each

I’ve run customised content writing workshops for as few as five people, and as many as 50.

Today, I recommend a maximum of 15 people, so I can give each person individual attention.

If you have more people to train, please ask me about a special rate for an extra workshop.

Some clients like to runs sessions by areas or departments.

For example, content writers in one session, policy and legal teams in another, etc.

Then we can tailor the content even further for a specific group within your organisation.

Anyone in your organisation who writes content, from beginner to experienced.

I’ve trainer thousands of writers in:

• Not-for-profits.
• Government (local, state and federal)
• Corporates and big brands
• Ad and digital agencies

And when I say it’s ideal for anyone, I mean it. I’ve taught:

• creative directors
• senior copywriters
• content writers + strategists
• freelance writers
• journalists
• authors
• marketers
• designers
• scientists
• museum curators
• nurses
• doctors
• volunteers
• yogis
• teachers
• firefighters
• builders
• SMEs
• artists
• chefs
• farmers
• CEOs + office juniors
• UX specialists
• ministers
• managers
• dog catchers
• musicians
• influencers
• the list goes on.

I come to your workplace and deliver your workshop to your team in a full day or over two half days.

I’ll bring

• a laptop
• the prepared presentation

The day before, I send you the PDF workbook for all participants. They can complete exercises in this book and keep it for the future.

The workbook contains 90+ pages of in-depth digital copywriting tips, techniques and templates.

While based in Sydney, I regularly travel to workplaces and other venues around Australia and the world to conduct training (travel expenses apply).

Every online workshop is conducted in real time.

I can deliver the training on MS Teams, Zoom or any other platform your organisation prefers.

If I’m booking the online classroom, I’ll send you an invite link for access to pass on to participants. Or I can send it out to everyone.

Over the past three years I’ve run scores of group and private workshops, so I understand what’s keeps participants inspired, engaged and excited to learn.

Your session includes:

• healthy discussion about your content
• analysing your competitors
• live quizzes
• practical activities
• breakout room exercises
• regular short breaks to refresh.

Some clients like to make real-time improvements to live content – like the email campaign that was about to be sent out while the marketing manager was in class.

Just a computer with a microphone and webcam.

They login a few minutes before start time to check their cameras and microphones are working.

Your course is custom created for your specific needs. This means some clients require more preparation time than others.

As a guide, the total non-profit training fee for 15 people is usually between $3000 and $4000 + GST for a fully customised full-day/two half days training.

Far more beneficial, engaging and cost-effective than if you sent the same number of people to an all-day public course that offers no customised content, exercises or focus.
