Leaving Academia: Becoming a Freelance Editor

Overthinking Your Website? How to Simplify Your Homepage and Attract Your Ideal Clients


Listen Later

When you’re just starting out in business, choosing between the infinite tech tools is incredibly overwhelming. Even just learning what all the abbreviations and acronyms mean can make your head spin. 🤯


In this podcast episode, I talk with Becky Launder, co-founder of Oh My Hi, an all-in-one platform that helps new business owners create a website, save data on clients and inquiries in a CRM (or Customer Relationship Management platform), and stay in touch with your audience through email marketing.


Becky explains, very clearly and succinctly:


✔️ what you should look for when choosing a website host or platform,

✔️ what a CRM is and why you should use one, even if you’re just starting out,

✔️ the importance of nurturing your potential clients (or leads) using regular email marketing, and

✔️ how her company, Oh My Hi, is leaning in to personal connections and networking to grow their business.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the tech tools and options (and, I mean, who hasn’t?), this episode will help you get started with a plan to move forward.
