I’ve always wanted to get a behind-the-scenes peek into someone else’s successful brand and business and I bet you do too. Which is why we’ll have episodes featuring other successful creatives who will take us behind-the-scenes of their brand and plan. Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Crystalyn Aucoin of Crystalyn Aucoin Jewelry.

Crystalyn makes fine jewelry for everyday wear. We're going to dive deep into the heart and vision behind her business, her biggest marketing struggles, and successes. I promise this episode is action-packed so grab a notebook before we get started.

After two full years as a full-time entrepreneur, I had created my life around my business not my business around my life. I'd gained thirty pounds from a sedentary lifestyle and lost my spark for business. But that's all changing. I've been working to create a business that helps me live out my ideal lifestyle. Join me as I tell what I've done to essentially get more done while stepping back from my business.

Have you searched for a graphic designer, noticed a wide range in pricing and wondered why?  Did you feel like some designers were trying to get more money out of you? If you haven’t had much experience working with or knowledge of graphic design then it may seem that way.

Especially when you can find low-end graphic designers doing what seems to be the same type of work for a lot less.

Today, we’re diving into why there is such a variance in pricing and few pros and cons to using graphic designers from each end of that spectrum.

New year, new website. Or maybe just a better site. Today, we're going over five must-dos for your website in 2019 that will help you climb the Google rankings a little higher, get more visitors and potentially more leads coming straight to your inbox. During the episode, you'll learn what page causes over 70% of your traffic to leave your website and what small tweaks you can make to climb the Google rankings.

The goal of your website is to turn visitors into paying clients. On this episode, we're taking a look at three common reasons why your website isn't converting and how to fix those issues. We'll look at what to do when your service isn't being understood by visitors and how to get feedback in a way that helps.
