When you're building your online business, can you really only rely on social media to scale? The quick answer – NO! While social media is excellent for outreach, you just aren't going to get the same stability, control, and conversion rates as a website. 

But, I know what you're thinking: Amy, how do I even start to build an entire website?! I totally understand how nerve-racking it can be when you’re launching your first website. Mine only had a gray header, my name in black with a shadow, and super cheesy graphics. My friend, we all have to start somewhere! But lucky for you, creating a functional and beautiful website now is actually a whole lot easier and faster than you might think. 

Today, I share the practical tools, tips, and strategies my team used in our recent website remodel. That's right – you're getting a behind-the-scenes look at how we refreshed our website and a step-by-step walkthrough of the entire redesign process.

Whether you're building a website for the first time or want to uplevel your current one, this episode will help you make a great first impression with your visitors and avoid the mistakes I made early on. Plus, I talk about my favorite platform for website building and how to make your website incredibly engaging and high-converting. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

Listen in and get started on creating a website that not only looks amazing but also aligns with your business goals!

What if I told you that you’re just one email away from boosting your revenue by thousands! My friend, the moment you shift your focus towards growing and nurturing your email list instead of chasing social media followers is the moment when your business will truly take off.

I know, I know – I sound like a broken record, but your email list is really THAT important! You might feel like it takes too long, you've tried everything, or you would rather focus on your social media. Well if that rings true to you, I'm here today to challenge that mindset and help you recognize the incredible value of email list marketing.

In this episode, I share all the reasons why your email list should take center stage over your social media followers. While social media is great for organic marketing, having a large following doesn't always translate into revenue. Your email list is your direct line to your audience of buyers where you get to make a bigger impact on the market all while scaling your unstoppable business! Honestly – what more could you ask for?!

Today, I talk about: 

Listen in because when you have a thriving email list, you have the power to strengthen your client relationships, provide massive value, and sell your offer like never before.

If I had to guess, I would say that you've experienced moments in your entrepreneurship journey where things just didn't go as planned. You know, those launches that don't take off, promos that fail to convert, or your email list subscribers that keep going away? It's incredibly frustrating, and you may be tempted to move on to the next project or pick up the pieces immediately. But hold on! Before you do that, I need you to listen to this episode! 

It's completely natural to feel a sense of desperation when things don't go your way, but I’m telling you my friend, you really don't want to get caught up in what I call "desperate energy." This energy can cause you to panic and frantically scramble to find a solution without making a second thought, and it's so not helpful for your business! 

Oh, and I've been guilty of this myself, and even my brilliant CEO called me out about it a few months ago. So I know that people don't want to work with someone who has this habit! In today's episode, I share my top advice for avoiding making frantic and desperate decisions for your business when things aren’t going according to plan. 

In this episode, I talk about: 

Listen in and embrace these tips! I promise you’ll stay cool, calm, and confident in all of your interactions and relationships.
