I see incomplete funnels alllll the time, funnels that go like this are not ideal:

So, here's THE SIMPLEST version of a funnel:

THE FUNNEL IS THE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO MAKE PASSIVE SALES, BUT YOU’LL ONLY HAVE TRAFFIC TO YOUR FUNNEL IF YOU HAVE A STRONG BRAND PRESENCE & ARE GENERATING INTEREST IN YOUR DAY TO DAY CONTENT.

the reality is this:

to stop bending reality, you have to break all the things making you do that.

-

in the past year, i’ve walked away from countless things that haven’t served me.

they may have looked great: externally

they may have looked fine: externally

they may have looked desireable, even: externally

but they felt wrong.

they felt like old versions of myself.

they felt like a skin, suffocating me, keeping me in.

keeping me stagnant.

weighing me down.

in this series, i’m going to be opening up about some deeper stuff. stuff i couldn’t bring myself to share as it was happening in real time.

CLICK THE LINK IN THE SHOW NOTES TO ENROLL. Run, don’t walk, becuase this puppy is going to fill up QUICK & it’s honestly a steal. It’s time to hone that brand message and lay the foundation for your personal brand and lock in the longevity of your company.

SHOW NOTES FROM TODAY:

how can you begin to elevate your photos?

the advantage to working with a creative director instead of just a photographer is that the creative director will understand exactly how these photos are intended to integrate with your content, your website, your business, and not just focus on pretty photos.

this is the difference between good enough, and like HOLY WOW THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.

- see our "hire or fire" guide contained within the brand alchemy workbook for guidance on who to hire as a photographer.

Upgrading Your Content:

we have to take that imagery and pair it up with a deep understanding of marketing trends and aligning content with your audience preferences.

Which implies you’ll need to understand:

where those things overlap, that’s your content strategies.

I like to create an overlapping strategy called the Content Trifecta.

It’s 1/3: what are the trends of the space/platform/industry?— aka what’s trending.

--

Part One: Your work uniform.

I used to always joke around that I was allergic to the word dresscode. That all changed when last august i hired a personal stylist and we got to DEFINE & CREATE ONE.

please don’t wear a messy bun + random shirt to your calls and also be charging $500/hr. it doesn’t add up.

now, i’m CERTAINLY not suggesting that you need to wear a blazer or even dress quote on quote PROFESSIONAL — but what I AM suggesting is that you need to be INTENTIONAL.

and taking this a level deeper, how do you want YOUR BRAND TO MAKE OTHERS FEEEEEL?

Keyword: feel

think about the following: what can I wear everyday, or nearly everyday, to create a vibe?

Part two: your workspace aesthetic.

you cannot just take calls in front of a white wall (it looks like you’re in jail) or at your moms kitchen table anymore. again, the ‘we just started working from home era’ is over.

this starts with aesthetic — again, what colors, textures, elements can you pull in?

SOME DOs & DONTs

just like the style above, we do offer 1 hour DIY consults for office spaces for $150, or full-service redesigns on a case by case basis. we will source the art, furniture, and tech necessary to customize your workspace. Dm me WORKSPACE UPGRADE for more info.
