Money is never the answer. It's the question, and the answer is always YES.

Hi Dr. Kat! So when sharing your portfolio with potential employers, do you send this figma link and have them go through the whole presentation or do you send your about me and each case study separately? Mostly curious about how you share something like this. Thanks!

waiting eagerly

interesting video, thank u for sharing 🌺🌺

Great points! Gonna apply this. But hey, I find you attractive doc 🫣

Can I become a UX writer without having any knowledge in tech?

Thank you ❤

As someone who's finally getting more feedback on their UX Writing portfolio, I agree with all these points. Keep going back and reworking those case studies and microcopy if it doesn't work. But most importantly, have fun with it! Like she said, mistakes are part of the process, as is how we learn from them. Also, side note: Kat's courses on UX Writing are super helpful, even if you think you have a good handle on things. I recommend.

Hey Kat, I followed your UX audit framework, and the enhancements I made are now live in production. I was hoping you could help me how to measure the impact of these UX copy enhancements on business or how to measure the effect before and after these enhancements.

Learned a lot from this and I'll definitely be implementing all of it. Thank you!

Which UX writing certificates from big name schools would you recommend?

This is the most simple yet comprehensive guide on copy and ux writing.

Great video, is there any site you can recommend us in building a ux writing portfolio and case study

Please how can we structure our portfolio for posting any guidelines on that

What a journey! I emphasize a lot with your struggles in school. Glad you’re prospering now Yvonne!

Hi Dr Kat, in 8:08, when you say that you only include tasks that you enjoy doing, is it fine for me to have the same mentality as a beginner content designer/UX writer, or would I be able to be as selective?

Anyone feeling burnt out reading this, just remember all of these things won’t matter 10-20 years down the road. What will matter is your health and well-being. Also, I really enjoyed your UX copywriting course and now UA-cam videos. Keep up the good work dr Kat

Great video! Your frustrations with burnout and what leads to it was palpable the whole way through and I'm glad you spoke on it. Thank you for putting everyone's thoughts out into tangibility. ❤ As a jobseeker looking to break into UX or copy, I've felt so much burnout. There are days I think about giving up and just coasting by on small side gigs and returning to the service industry. It's hard to cope when resources aren't as easy to come by, but knowing I'm not alone is a great help, as is knowing I can do this.

Thanks for the advice! Can you recommend some blogs or courses?

i think the more people are seeing what mechanism is behind websites and what UX UI designers do and how they lure the consumer to click, buy, read, and consume more, the more people are fed up with being lured into this psychological game of people who have a soul or anu value's UI UX designers are just playing the game and do it all for the $$ and only do what their greedy bosses tell them to do

Hey Kat, I am Miya, a copywriter with 4 years of experience. I want to transition to UX writing. Will that be a good choice? And my background is in Computer engineering. Will technical writing be more suited for me? I am a bit confused. What is your opinion?

May I ask where do the hyperlinks direct you to? Thank you.

Thank you Kat! Shalom

Thank you so much for this video. I have been thinking about freelance technical copywriting, but found the copywriting training too broad and not focused on technology. Also I something more business or customer centered and stumbled across this UX writing video. I would be interested in how to do this as a freelancer. Will your courses help? I do not want to go into UX design only the writing. Will this be an issue?

Can you recommend any German language websites that are good examples for UX writing?

Wow! it's very useful and beneficial. Can I use the same process for audit emails?

Love your content. Wish I had found you earlier... you're the doctor for all my UX boo boos 🤕😁😇

Hello Dr Kat, I found your courses on UX Writing on Coursera. One thing led to another and now here I am binge watching your videos. Being an Indian this comparison was super interesting to me. Indian banks offer so many services/options on their website because they want to cater and look lucrative to all. It helps them differentiate themselves from other competitors. Second, that 'proud home owners' phrase was because buying a home is deemed a personal and professional success. For most Indians it is there only dream- to have a roof over their head. Living in rented houses are seemed as failure. Then comes the offers be it in credit cards, loans, or other things. We, Indians, love to bargain and brag about it to family and friends. That's why they highlight it so much. We also love to emphasise on certain things. For example, saying just safe and secure is not enough. We need more words to back it up. I personally don't like the Indian Banking sites and apps. They are not user-friendly, have too much noise, and very distracting. Definitely not modern, it could be also because we tend to trust old brand names over new ones, no matter how convenient and brilliant they are.

Hello, I am a 33-year-old English teacher. I want to switch to online teaching permanently and, at the same time, learn UX writing. Should I also learn UX design? Also, I am confused between UX writing and technical writing. Which one to choose?

YOU'RE AWESOME, LIKE STAR WARS AWESOME, I SUBSCRIBED

You have a great experience and i would like to ask you, i thinking to change my career from ux to any job not need a lot of thinking all the time. what would you suggest please

Wsrum müssen solche Videos immer Musik haben?

Having personally learned a lot via Kat's amazing videos, I can vouch for every word of this. The structure, psychology, and strategy that goes into language is important in the greater flow of UX. Know your writers and know the craft!

This came in very handy! Thank you Dr. Kat for always helping the community.

I really wonder how many industry professionals might be discouraging newcomers just to reduce competition, similar to how people in Austin say, "Don't move to Austin; it sucks here now"? Then you go to Austin and it's pretty damn amazing. Could they just be concerned that an influx of new talent could increase competition, potentially leading to experienced workers being replaced by younger professionals who can do the job just as well, if not better, for less money? Difficult to say from the outside.. They seem to stand little to gain by telling them otherwise and much to gain and or secure by telling them what they are currently saying. People...

Such valuable information you've shared! I find it difficult to understand some explanations of ux writing because most don't provide a clear "walk-through" of the process. This has given me a lot of insight. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This is such a handy process! I love that this isn't just a simple copy & paste; it requires the writer to pay attention to create a refined and streamlined style guide. So cool. Thanks Kat!

Thank you! I have over 12 years of experience in ux and nowadays find it’s not useful, because this field need the person you learn new critical things every day and stay late every day. I hope that I can change this career path to thing that focus in 9-5 and focus on life because life is too short to spend it on us field that need too much effort. By the way your are amazing and like your studio and the video was very inspiring

Very helpful, thank you!

A good amount of articles I've read about case studies is that an effective one should show impact. How might this kind of case study show impact? Are there metrics to look out for that can show why the UX writing suggestions are better than the existing? Would explaining design decisions be enough?

awesome content! Thank you.

This is such a great refresher and perfect for beginners. There's so many challenging and unique ways to structure UX copy!

Thank you for your hard work. How to do it without numbered episodes? High regards,

As someone who discovered your awesome channel this past Autumn, I'm so proud of the growth I've been seeing in you and your content in such a short time. I've learned so much from people like you and Yvonne UX, and as someone who isn't in the space to afford lessons, these extra tidbits have helped me learn and challenge myself as a UX writer. I hope you continue creating for a long, long time. ♥

Thank you for bringing in these elements to us !

Thanks for the insight :)

Thank you for the nicely shot insight, would really like to see a typical day in your other roles too! ✨

wow so impressive! Such a big fan of your work and your structure and of course you!!😍❤️

This is such a lovely video and loooove your neighbourhood - thanks for sharing it with us :) So, this time my curiosity question is on.. what are the softwares you use to get your tasks done? I can see that you use Miro for organizing ideas and Figma for the actual work (writing). In this line, can you brief what other software helps in your day-to-day activities as a UX writer? And one more, do you also work on copywriting and other writing tasks for the part time job you mentioned as it's a startup? If yes, how do you switch between different types of writing (mentally and technically)? Also, I wanted to mention that your Udemy courses are a gem (sooo resourceful) but still I keep throwing a lot of questions at you - sorry, can't help :P Let me know :)
