It’s time for some serious marketing strategy! The title of this really sums it up: people don’t buy products and services, they buy results. In this episode, I explain this concept and share how you can start marketing the results you provide right now! This episode is short and tactical.

I understand how it feels to be ignored in this noisy world. It’s a challenge to speak in a way that gets the attention of your dream clients. You have this great product or service, but you’re getting beat out by people who are able to communicate about their offer better. 

Whether you’re a coach, photographer, realtor, designer, you name it… If you’re asking the question, “How on earth do I stand out?!” then I ... Read more

As a new business owner, we often treat our business like a hobby unintentionally. Maybe your business even started as a hobby so treating it like one comes naturally. We desire to be a business owner, but we have bad habits that are keeping us stuck. We say things like “I’m just a freelancer” or “Oh, it’s just a little side hustle.” But, to grow your business, you’ve got to act like a business owner, which mea... Read more

These are the questions that work for me, and today I’m shari... Read more

Once your website page loads, people form an opinion of it in .05 seconds.  Yep, that’s REALLY short. And, those opinions might be leading viewers to exit your site.

Your website IS your business’ digital home, and for online-based businesses like myself, it is your business’ ONLY home. This matters. So, in this episode I’m diving into why people might not want to stay on your website. We are focusing on the copywriting m... Read more

If you’ve ever wondered “How much is too much editing?” when it comes to your testimonials, then this is your episode! This is such a strange topic because there’s no official guide book to this sort of thing anywhere. It’s very much uncharted territory.

And, let’s be real, your past customers aren’t going to just send you a testimonial just because. They’ve got their own life and stuff going on! So, you... Read more

Instagram strategy is different at every follower level. What works for someone with 100,000 followers won’t necessarily work the same for someone with 1,000 followers. In this episode, I’m sharing Instagram strategy for the business owners who are NEWER to the follower game — with less than 1,000 followers, specifically. If that’s not you, no worries!
