Wondering how all these other web designers out there seem to be constantly booked up on word-of-mouth referrals alone? No more operating in marketing burnout mode. Follow these simple tips and tricks for getting the right clients to come to you!

Thinking of selling an online course, but not sure where to start? In this post, I’m sharing the very first thing you need to be creating as a new course creator if you want your first online course launch to be raving success!

And one of the most frequent questions I’ve been getting lately is “should I host my course on Squarespace or a course hosting specific platform?” I’ve been giving my short answer (no, don’t host it on Squarespace) directly to those who have asked for a while now, but also promised to give the full explanation in a blog post.

Should I build my online course on my site? Or host it somewhere else? Will I regret starting a Course Facebook Group? Should I give a discount or a bonus my first launch? Do I really need an email list? Or is my social media following enough to make sales? All the questions I wish I had answers to when creating and launching my first online course, and now that I have the answers, I’m sharing what I wish I knew with you!

Wonder what sets the successful web designers apart from their not-so-successful competition? (Hint: it’s not just a pretty portfolio!) That’s right! It’s customer service! If you’re ready to start dazzling clients and booking out your design business with non-stop referrals, than these ideas for building a better client experience are for you!

Many website designers will polish up your project, get you launched and then offer the option to stick with them on what’s called a monthly retainer.

Monthly retainers have their pros and cons. 

Pro, you have the peace of mind that if your website decides to throw and temper tantrum one day and bring your online business crashing down, you’ve got someone on hand who’s job it is to fix it.

Con, designers and developers don’t come cheap, so paying $100 or more a month for a monthly retainer with a designer/developer can become a pricey business expense.
