Wanna know what the most searched thing in my blogs search bar is? SEO.

I know y'all want me to talk about Squarespace SEO on this blog and I've honestly tried bringing myself to do so on manyyyy occasions, but I admit, writing about SEO bores me to tears, so I just never write the posts. 😂

Hey, hey new Squarespacer!

Or let's be real, current WordPress user who is totes fed up with the WordPress headaches and is currently researching Squarespace because you hear whisperings that it's wayyyy easier to use.

So you're looking to add an option for site visitors to schedule a booking consultation call with you?! 

Fabulous idea. I can tell you from experience that offering these calls with make a big time difference to how many clients you're able to land. So first, job well done on even taking the time to set this up.

If you're reading this post, then you know the importance of building your email list, and because of that I am SO proud of you!

You friend aren't getting all glossy-eyed over a follower count but are instead ready to put time and energy into a less-glamorous, but significantly more rewarding and vital piece of your business - your email list!

So you may have heard of the hack out there about how to create a section of rotating testimonials with the Squarespace summary block. If you're unfamiliar, I teach you how to do it in this post.

Less than impressed with the number of booking inquiries you're getting? Your website should be your best marketing employee, working for you 24/7, but if it's not pulling it's weight these days and bringing in the clients you want, here's a few things we can fix to get you to where you want to be  - booked out!

Which block do I use most in all of my site designs?

Whichever block you're thinking of, I can almost guarantee that it's not the one. 

The most useful block in Squarespace? The spacer block.

I know I love to see the behind the scenes of how other online business owners organize all the things in their business, so today I'm going to share a little bit of how I do things.

Specifically, I'm going to show you into my Asana.

'How do you get clients?' It's the #1 question new Squarespace web designers ask me.

Now that I've launched a course too, I expect I'll start getting 'how do you get students to buy your course?' questions coming my way soon as well.

Y'all, today I'm going to share something I think you really need to hear.

I know it can be tough living in the 'real world' while working in a 9-5 but harbouring dreams of something completely different.

Working online while traveling the world, it’s a dream for many and good ol’ Instagram does a wonderful job of plastering our feeds with people who have managed to make the dream come to life.

(Or is that just my feed? I dunno.)

I'm back with another edition of monthly recaps, the posts where I take you behind the scenes of the business, and show you what I've been scheming up, as well as the successes and the failures (*ahem - lessons learned*).

“Well, I’m a student and only do this part time, so it’s just fun money for me, I enjoy doing the work, so my prices are lower than normal.” (That was me.)

Or “I’m a stay at home Mom, and expected to not make anything while at home with my kids, so anything is more than I expected.”

So you're looking to start an online business eh? Perfect! I have allll the online business tips and I love sharing them.

I know it can be overwhelming because there are SO many options for all the online systems that you could be using in your business and it's honestly really tough to know even where to start.

So you're on Squarespace and therefore the obvious choice seems to go with MailChimp for your email marketing platform because Squarespace and MailChimp have an integration right?

Picking a domain name you love is like getting married! If you decide to divorce it, things get ugly.

Having just changed mine, and in the process eliminated half of my site traffic which came from Google (though it should be a temporary dip in traffic) I want to help you avoid switching in the future.

Y'all, surveying is legit one of my fav things to do, it's so super intersting to me to learn about all these mysterious humans who are visiting my site and hanging out on my email list.

I'm back with another edition of monthly recaps, the posts where I take you behind the scenes of the business, and show you what I've been scheming up, as well as the successes and the failures (*ahem - lessons learned*).

If there’s one thing in this world that really gets my goat, it’s this.

People who have noooo idea smack talking Squarespace and it’s SEO capabilities.

… And businesses that make the only way to send them information via a fax. It’s 2018 y’all. Not one single millennial has a clue how to send a fax because it’s ancient technology that everyone should have abandoned ship on 20 years ago. Get with the times. 😡 (Sorry, needed to vent.)
