CopyStyleGuide.com

Hello! This is the first time I've hunted my own product 😬 I've been writing for startups for the last 10 years. Four years ago, I went freelance and noticed most startups don't have a style guide - a document that outlines the company's communication style. So before starting any work, I'd have to create a style guide for them. This was time-consuming and expensive for them. Around this time last year, I wondered if I'd be able to standardise the process and create a tool that helped them identify their own tone of voice and generate a suitable style guide I could use. After much time researching, conducting user testing and grappling with ChatGPT to help me code (I can't code), it all came together and I launched CopyStyleGuide.com in July 2023. Since then, I've had some great feedback from startup founders (and, interestingly, agency owners) who've found the guides helpful. I haven't done much promotion so I'm offering a Black Friday discount to get this 'out there' and see what people think. I'll be checking back all weekend so please do leave any comments of feedback! Would be very grateful to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Oli Here's the DL... Who’s it for? Startup founders, small business owners and content creators. What is it? A comprehensive document that outlines a company’s writing style and tone of voice. Why do I need it? It helps your writers (from the CEO to the front-line customer support team) create distinctive, memorable and trustworthy content that elevates your brand. What are people saying about it? “You no longer need a big budget to sound like a professional brand!” “We’re saving so much time getting freelance copywriters to write in our brand’s language.” “This is an incredible asset to empower startups to communicate more effectively than ever.” How much is it usually? £149 (get £50 off).

Neat concept! Would be awesome to use this when starting out, then swap to a Copy-as-a-service type of thing one revenue is achieved. Congrats on your first self-launch!!! 🚀

Congratulations team 🎉 on the launch 👏

Best of luck today 🦄♥️

Congrats Oli this is brilliant 👏 I have worked with a lot of pre-seed and seed stage startups in the past and having consistent tone of voice and style is an area they have struggled with. (Especially if they outsource their content creation because they are not ready for someone in-house.) Are there future plans to be able to generate guides in other languages apart from English?

A huge well done @oli_west on getting the launch of CopyStyleGuide.com out into the world! This looks like a fantastic tool to help streamline the process of creating a copy style guide for startups.

Congrats team CopyStyleGuide.com on the launch!
