What I'm reading this week 🥂

When I first started building websites, I made a lot of rookie mistakes:

🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought a lot of website visitors meant sales.

🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought a beautiful website would make more sales.

🤦🏻‍♀️ I thought simply describing the service would be enough to...

you guessed it:

make more sales. 🥂

But one day, I stumbled across a website copywriting service that had me scrolling through page after page of content, looking for free resources, then looking at the services themselves that I finally realized:

Copywriting is just as important as SEO and Design.

That's why I've been binging textbooks, courses, trainings, blog posts, and great fiction authors to learn Writing that Works.

If you want a book to help you encourage action clearly more often than you babble: this is it.

Looking for someone to run your social media accounts? 😉

You could reach more people with ads (Up to 6,000 potential clients for just $100/month, actually),

Engage them with strategic content on your profile,

Retain them with an email newsletter for building trust and making sales directly,

And enjoy the effortless benefit of business growth with an *almost hands-off service.

(Fun fact: You get to keep your email contact list afterward)

Anyway...

I'm taking on 6 new clients this year, and I'd love for you to be among them:

I'm a *shameless coffee addict*

And it's not even about the caffeine for me.

It's the process of walking to the kitchen, getting a soft mug out, and making a warm drink that has such a sweet smell and an even better flavor.

I look forward to it every day.

I've been working towards my goals tirelessly. I want to:

✔️ Pay off my student loans by September 2025
✔️ Increase my MRR by 50% in the next 6 months
✔️ Build a community out of my brand platform
✔️ Take on 6 more social media clients in 2024
✔️ Make my home feel more like home (for my husband, and my guests)
✔️ Get over my fear of tornadoes and car accidents
✔️ Eat my body weight in grams of protein every day
✔️ And gain 10 pounds of muscle

It takes all day, almost every day to make any progress...

But in the morning, when I wake up, I know I get to enjoy a warm cup of coffee. I reflect, and take up the motivation I need for another day.

And my goals thank me for it.

So here's to progress and to shameless coffee addicts. ☕️

What I'm reading this week 🥂

When a client hits the top of a search results page for their most profitable keyword, the champagne bottles pop and I become a very happy lady.

This Spring, two of my clients hit the top of the page within 2 weeks thanks to a strong launch on Social Media.

My own website tripled its users last month because of a great social media referral.

Social media is my favorite inbound marketing strategy, and websites are my favorite sales tool.

I'm not a salesman.

Anyone else feel like that? They say the salesmen is the most valuable and it's a skill worth learning.

I've tried sales. I've read a ton of books, but found that the life of a salesman is not the life I want.

I'm more of a customer experience girly, a strategy guru, and a competitive designer.

But here I am, getting clients and helping my clients get their own clients.

That's the beauty of a great website and social media.

So here's to learning and growing, to social media and SEO. 🥂

Learn how to say no.

I promise your business and clients will benefit from it.

I said gave the word we're all afraid to use this week - TWICE - and as a result, I had more time for my perfect-fit, dream client work. And time to rest.

You can do the same thing if you know who your "ideal client" really is.

In next week's newsletter, I'll draft out how to actually determine your ideal client.

It won't be like the incredibly vague "what is an ideal client" blogs you get when you google search for tips.

I'm going in hard on the steps you should take to determine their: age, gender, desires, income, job, location, etc. to help you claim your valuable time back from clients who aren't a good fit for your business.

In this week's newsletter, though, I'm just diving into the freedom in that slick, powerful word:

No.

We're nearing the end of the school year, the fiscal year, and the spring season. 🫣

Plans are being made *now* for the upcoming seasons, and I want you to be ahead of the game when your clients are ready to make decisions.

Book with me for a Web Design • Branding • Social Media Management service that'll give you more time to enjoy your life and more pride in the business you run.

How I went from 😰 to 🫣 to 🥰 in three years:

Social media was something I was thrown into willy-nilly at a past agency.

A client signed up for social media management.

Our company didn't have anyone else to do it, so I was somewhat voluntold to give it a try - ha!

This is one of the reasons I think it's such a good idea to vet your agency:

The agency, as a whole, may have accumulated experience in the field, but that doesn't mean every employee also has those skills.

I was so nervous because I didn't want to mess up this client's reputation or cause their business harm, but there really was no one else to do it. 😰

So I took a deep dive into best practices and gave it a try. 🫣

Three years later, I've become highly adept at Web Design, Branding, and Social Media - three services that work exceedingly well together - and I never would have known that if I hadn't been asked to try. 🥰

So in honor of jumping off the deep end, here's a Client Spotlight:

I have a few spots left for social media management! https://www.goodkinddesign.org/social-media

How it works:

1️⃣ Fill out my online interest form!

2️⃣ I'll reach out and set a time to catch up with you. I want to hear about who you are, what you do, and what you hope to do with social media management.

3️⃣ From there, I'll clarify your social media strategy and business goals with a project scope/proposal.

4️⃣ Once you get the "this is exactly what I'm looking for" feeling, we'll start on content! Every social media service I offer includes a brand photoshoot: the planning and ex*****on, to make sure the content you post is high quality and attracts the right clients for your business.

⭐️ Then it's a stress-free, hands-off life for you. I'll schedule your posts out a week at a time and will handle comments and messages within 24-hours.

We'll catch up once a month about your current sales and goals, and go from there.

Social media is becoming the new search engine, and I want your business to be there when your clients are looking.

I'm not immune to wish-upon-a-star moments of hoping for something to happen that hadn't yet.

And all of my wish-upon-a-star moments have happened when I didn't see any possible way for my dreams to come true without a little outside intervention.

I think in the professional world, we do that subconsciously and often by waiting for something to happen "in due time" with hard work and patience, without changing our strategy to encourage the results we want.

So for instance, if I wanted to drive more sales with a stunning and personable social media strategy, and I had no social media/marketing/design experience, I wouldn't pick up a dandelion and hope for a miraculous breakthrough, or wait for it to eventually take off with the slightly off-kilter photos I had stored in my phone last week.

I would find someone who's done it many times before to do it again for me.

If you've been wishing on a dandelion, consider me your miraculous breakthrough. I mean, many clients have before 😉

My Muse. 🐾

"Why is your logo of a dog?"
"Do you sell dog toys?"

LOL

First of all, on a note of honesty, it's always a good idea to ask people what they think of your logo before you launch it.

But there are no regrets on this end.

My Maverick was my muse, as my closest compadre. (I've never seen such a tough little dog be so super insistent on snuggling). And he's such a super stereotypically loyal dog.

Of course, though, he's a mess to take care of. “Anybody who doesn’t know what soap tastes like never washed a dog.” 🫣

I chose him for my Mascot because he's so trusting, happy to be there, and devoted to being good.

That's how I am with my clients: Relational, Reliable, and Really Devoted to Being Good.

So no, I don't sell dog toys - but that's a great merch idea 😉

So... What's the story?

✨ Do you have a website?
✨ Does your website win you dream clients?

Or are they closing the tab before you have a chance to prove yourself?

✨ If you're concerned about leads, it's time to take your story into your own hands, turn your website into a certified page-turner, and make it super easy for your clients to grasp your value.

Don't know where to start?

✨ It's a good thing I can't wait to design your website for you!

If your website is not doing these things for your business, you're leaving money on the table:

🪩 Build trust quickly:

Quirky, chock-full-of-boring websites don't cut it anymore. Build trust fast with a website that makes your client feel like you're talking directly to them, and looks so good it makes them feel like you're the most desirable choice.

🪩 Collect client emails:

Build your email opt-in list to have a crew of people you can readily keep in touch and stay top of mind.

🪩 Be a strong foundation for all other marketing efforts:

Your clients may not be ready to give you a call after seeing one good post but direct them to your website and you have a better chance to show them what value you really have to offer.
