Links: they’re an integral part of your website. Without them, how would people get around? How would they know where to go next? Links seem simple, but so many get them wrong. Join me as we hit this topic from all angles—SEO, user experience, copywriting—and discuss 5 DOs and DON’Ts when it comes to properly using links on your website.

Decisions. How do you make ‘em? How do you feel after? If you take YEARS to make even a small potato decision, and you get caught up in the “what if?” game after it’s made, ruminating about what could have been…you may be a MAXIMIZER. Maximizers generally make good decisions, but feel bad about them. Satisficers make good decisions, but feel good.

The good news? Maximizers can become more like satisficers, enhancing their overall happiness and wellbeing. Here’s the scoop!

Have you ever been on a website and you’re presented with a pop-up before the rest of the page even loads? Annoying, right? But we’ve all been there!

Finding and using your “authentic brand voice” is easier said than done. Doing some quick & easy foundational work to uncover and document your brand’s TONE will help you maintain a consistent brand voice throughout all areas of your online presence—your website, your social media captions, your email marketing—that your audience will appreciate.

Consistency: we all struggle with it. Why? There are so many reasons, and trying to figure out the “why” is arguably LESS important than preparing yourself for the struggle and finding the strength to push through. Join me as we talk about “the dip,” coined by Seth Godin, which refers to the point in time when you stop making easy progress, your growth slows down, and you just want to give up.

It’s a new year, and so many of us are focused on hitting our big money goals. But, this is also a great time to identify areas where you may be spending more than you need to. It’s easy to become complacent and let business expenses go unchecked, but there is potential here for real cost savings if you perform regular check-ins in these areas. Join me as we discuss six areas where you may be able to trim the fat and free up money that can be used in a better way (like reinvesting in your business, or treating yourself to a nice cup of coffee for a job well done).

Having choices is a good thing, BUT there is a point when giving people too many can overwhelm and confuse them. This is NOT what we want to happen when people are visiting our websites or sifting through what we have to offer. It’s all about streamlining, baby, and focusing our energy on making what we do have to offer the best it can be!
