Strategy Meets Creativity
C
Contented is all about creating content with strategy and posting with purpose. Part planning, part strategy and part creativity, the course will help you to set your content goals, target your ideal customer and create content that converts and cuts through the noise.
With a no-kneejerk rule to avoid panic posting and pointless blog posts, Contented is about creating a content plan to underpin your business and achieve your goals. It’s not about templates or cut and paste, not about sounding the same or rigid structures - it’s about keeping it personal and creating your own content path.
Contented is designed to create a content plan for authentic brands – informal yet impactful, relaxed but with results, personal yet powerful.
Welcome to a Contented life.
I didn’t want to offer a one size fits all content course because keeping it personal is my fingerprint. Contented has been designed so that it is unique to every individual creative taking the course yet with input and access from me personally at every point.

Or

You could continue posting without purpose and creating content to keep up with everybody else yet not really know what you’re posting for.
You could be stuck wondering what can I talk about? What can I say? How can I say this in a different way?
You could be downloading freebies and caught in funnels trying to find something personal, individual and original that isn’t yet another template, always to find it’s simply more sales with a lack of sincerity.
You could continue running your business throwing content out on a wing and a prayer without any purpose or sense of personality or brand identity.
It could be overwhelming...
You could be creating content from a place of calm, content with strategy that promotes authenticity
You could be overflowing with ideas and inspiration, with enough creative topics to create a 90 day plan
You could have a personalised content plan, targeted to your ideal customer with an exact idea of what you’re saying, when you’re saying it and why you’re saying it in the first place, creating content that is unique to you and isn’t another cookie cutter sound-the-same copy.
You could be creating content that has been designed to build relationship and get results, content that is designed with impact and purpose – content created for a Contented life. You could run your business from a place of purpose, confidence, and peace of mind.
...or it could be empowering!
“Contented transformed so many things for me”
- ria mishaal, arcana
- KATE CULLEN (feedback from a different course)
I knew it would be as everything you do always is but I didn’t realise how timely and useful it would really become. The course was just what I needed, actionable each day and in just the right quantity to be manageable yet with far reaching impact. Thank you Jess for giving away so much of your incredible knowledge.
"What can I say that expresses just how brilliant insightful this course is?"
Kind Words
from past course students
- ANNA D’SOUZA (feedback from a different course)
I learned from her how to begin to put things into words in a braver and more honest way. Jess is deeply thoughtful and understands the true meanings of courage and authenticity. If you truly go with it you can learn to write with more depth and meaning.
"Jess is a different kind of teacher ..."
- Kiki-Sunshine
She just gets who you are, where you’re coming from and the energy that you want to portray. A dream to work with and a pleasure to know you’ll be hard shot to find a wordsmith with more soul and integrity than this one.
"Jess has a way of getting under your skin without being intrusive."
- Carla Towill, The Unbridled
I’m a photographer, I’m good at images but I am absolutely rubbish when it comes to written content. But even if I was amazing I would still need Jess. She has the incredible ability to see the whole picture. She got to know me inside out in a short amount of time and her work literally blows my mind. I would honestly recommend this wonderful creature to anyone. More than just content, Jess has helped me craft and develop a new brand and I am beyond excited for the future.
"Finding Jess was the best thing to happen to my business."
The course has been designed to run over seven days and to be intensive, it will likely take an hour a day during that time to complete, perhaps a little longer. However, it can be done at your own pace, you don’t have to complete in the seven days but it has been put together so that you can re-do it every 90 days to create your content for the following quarter.
How long does it take to complete the course and what if I don’t have enough time?
Frequently Asked Questions
When you join the course there is an optional Facebook group. Here you will be able to access me during the entire week to ask questions, share progress and ask for any feedback. I will be available every single day in the group and plan to keep it highly personal. Once the course finishes you’ll be invited to a dedicated Alumni Facebook group where you can stay for ongoing questions, support and guidance. This will be ongoing with access to me at a lighter level.
How does it work with the Facebook group?
No, this course isn’t focused on copywriting, it’s more about content marketing and strategy. For a specialist copywriting course, be sure to check out my signature copywriting course, Audacity.
Will this course teach me how to create copywriting for my business?
The course runs for an intensive one week period with videos, written guide content and “Content-ercises” for you to complete each day. There is also an interactive Facebook group for you to join and share your progress or any questions or problems. I will be available in the group every single day to advise and guide, to give feedback and to celebrate your wins. The course is unlocked day by day so each day you’ll get access to a new module but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it all done as you’ll continue to have access as well as receive any updated information or bonus additions.
What is the format of the course?
This course will help you set your goals in place, define your ideal customer and set up a system for creating content that works to your calendar. You’ll learn how to create authentic content that converts your customer and builds relationship as well as how to come up with creative topics so you won’t be stuck for things to write. You’ll also learn how to make your content part of your day-to-day life, something that works for you rather than you being a slave to it. The group will provide feedback, support and accountability with Jess on hand to support and advise alongside additional bonus resources to help you continue your content journey from a place of understanding and empowerment.
