Beyond the Kitchen Table (previously the Website Coach)

One of the great things about running your own business is you can change your mind. Yes, you're the boss!

After being adamant I was never going to have a membership, my membership launches at the end of September. Yes, I changed my mind! In this episode I'm explaining why...

There are lots of demands on our time when we run our own business. There's the actual client work itself, but there's also admin, accounts, preparation for client work and, of course, sales and marketing.

And for many of us, marketing our business falls to the bottom of the priority list.

This podcast episode is all about what to do when you don't have a lot of time (or a team to do it for you)

When you have people visiting your website but they're not buying, booking an appointment or doing whatever else you might want to do you have a website conversion problem.

Rather than focusing on getting more people to visit your website, you need to look at why they're not taking the action you'd like them to take and what you can do about it. Once you've "fixed" the conversion, you can then focus on driving more visitors to your website.

In this episode I talk about the things you can do if your website is not converting.

Your website home page is the most important page of your website. It is likely to be the one that most people visit first and if you don't show them they have come to the right place, they'll leave.

In this episode (a repeat of Episode 1) I talk about the job of your homepage (it actually has two) and what you need to put on there. Having these on your website homepage will help you keep clients on your website longer and increase the chance of them clicking further.

In this episode I interview paediatric sleep practitioner, registered nurse and health visitor, Rosy Whitwell.

Using only gentle methods Rosy helps exhausted parents and their little ones get a better night’s sleep so they can get enjoy life to the full.

This is a wide ranging discussion. Yes we talk about sleep tips for babies, but we mainly talk about how Rosy has built up her business and found clients, working around her family.

It's the summer holidays and few of us have the time or inclination to create social media content - especially as views/reach and engagement tend to be down in the holidays.

So this episode is all about making it easy (business shouldn't be hard after all!) with 7 social media content ideas for the summer. Plus an additional bonus idea at the end!

In this episode I interview business mentor Libby Knight.

Libby helps entrepreneurs achieve their goals. We talk about how she helps them to uncover what is stopping them and the many mindset monkeys that can appear.

We also talk about how to deal with overwhelm, how she gets clients and of course her website.

It's that time of year. The summer holidays. You might decide you're just going to throw in the towel and take the time off from your business, or you might decide that you want (or need) to maintain your business.

But it is a challenge. In this podcast episode I talk about some of the ways I have found to work during the school holidays, recognising that a working week during the holidays will look different to a working week during term time.
