If there's one thing that drives me bananas about the online business world...it's how people think there are "rules" they must follow in order to be successful.

Okay, so maybe you wouldn't call them rules, but if you're unsure of what I'm talking about here, I'll explain. It drives me bananas when experts proclaim that there is one true way to accomplish something. You know what I mean, stuff like: 

• "If you want to grow an audience, you must do XYZ" 
• "You need XYZ if you want your reel to go viral"
• "This is exactly what you need for a 7-figure launch"

I mean, please.

We all know that my favorite phrase is "it depends" and I think there are so many marketing approaches and asset that will look different for every business.

Take your website, for example.

There are no rules you need to follow. Sure, there are best practices for both copy and design, but your business and your growth is what dictates the strategy for what best practices you should follow (and dare I say, which you shouldn't?!). I'm joined today with website designer, Teresa Schlup, to finish up this website series by  discussing how business owners can set their own rules for their websites and ways to be strategic while doing so.
