As an online service provider or coach, creating compelling website copy and launch copy is at the foundation of your marketing strategy. While you have the option to hire a professional copywriter, DIYing your copy with a template can be a great option that puts you in the driver's seat (and has some other pretty amazing benefits too!)

In this episode, I'll explore the pros and cons of writing your copy yourself with the help of a template, so you can decide which option is best for you!

No matter which option you choose, I'm here to help you create a magnetic connection with your dream clients so you can become their only choice – cheers to that!

With my second baby on the way, I'm preparing for maternity leave round 2. This time it's a little bit different, as I'm already a mum to a gorgeous (and very energetic) 18-month-old.

I also have the beauty of hindsight, having experienced a maternity leave in the past already. So my expectations are a little bit different this time around!

So if you're getting ready for your first maternity leave or subsequent maternity leave and you're wondering how to prepare for maternity leave or if it's even possible to step away from your daily work while keeping your business running smoothly, then read on.

I'm going to share a bit about my first maternity leave and what I'm doing differently this time to prepare my business and my life for bub's arrival!

Of course, take it with a grain of salt – we all run different types of businesses and have different lifestyles, so take on the tips that work best for you and leave the rest!

If you've ever tried to launch a new digital product or course, then you know it can be a long process.

You need to create the product, write all of the copy to promote it, create design mockups, and any other marketing collateral.

You also have to market it — and sometimes that involves sales conversations.

But what if there was a way to test your idea before investing all that time and money? What if there was a way to do this sort of testing without having to wait until your offer was completely finished?

Enter: The beta launch.

One of the most effective ways to increase sales and boost your credibility is with testimonials. The right testimonial can make potential customers feel like they know, like and trust you.

Testimonials are a form of social proof. Most of us need validation from other people before making important decisions – like buying a product or service. They assure your ideal clients that what you've created won't just "promise" to get them the result they want, but will actually help them get the transformation they want. After all, people buy from people!

If you want to supercharge your sales with killer testimonials, listen in for 5 simple tips that you can implement today.
