The Ellechat Podcast

So you launched your website. You spent a bunch of time perfecting the design, layout, photos, and copy, and you even have your blog up and running.

You check your analytics to see how many people are flooding into your site day after day, but the numbers are few. Where is everyone?

It’s easy to get discouraged. Especially when a higher number of visitors has the potential to open doors down the road, whether it’s a sponsorship opportunity, collaboration, job offer, book deal, or a new client.

In this week’s Ellechat, I’ll be sharing 12 proven methods for increasing your website traffic today. Join me!

There’s plenty of talk out there about marketing your products and services, but a lot of expert launch strategies involve intense email sequences (that often overwhelm your list), pay-per-click Facebook ads, lots of bonuses, product bundles, and so on.

And while they may be helpful for some, these strategies can quickly get complicated and overwhelming for most creative business owners, especially those who are a one-man team.

Launches don’t have to be complicated, salesy, or manipulative.

If you’re preparing to launch a new offering - whether it’s a service or a product - you’ll walk away from this Ellechat with a new perspective on launches and gain some tangible steps for successfully promoting your new idea to your audience. 

Creative entrepreneurs play many roles and wear many hats. So it’s inevitable that at some point, you might consider lessening your load and delegating tasks by bringing on the help of an assistant.

Whether hiring an assistant is in your near or distant future, you probably have a lot of questions. When is the best time to bring on an assistant? How do I find the right person? How much do I pay them? What are some best practices for training them? How do I maintain a good working relationship?

I’m sharing my experience in hiring help and answering those questions in this week’s Ellechat webinar. Join me!

For new service-based entrepreneurs, one of the greatest challenges is finding, attracting, and booking clients. You may not have a large portfolio, a large audience, or client testimonials. You may not have much experience or expertise. And chances are, you’re probably in a very saturated, competitive industry.

I remember being in that position. And in less than a year and a half, I was able to grow my client waiting list to well over 250 prospective clients. 

If that sounds crazy to you, than this will be even more shocking: I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to build my waiting list. All the steps I implemented can be executed by you, too, and I’m sharing them in this week’s Ellechat!
