when can you start?


I couldn't help but overhear my nephew's zoom interview yesterday.

He's applying to be a social media intern for some random out-of-state company found through his college career center.

As soon I heard a voice say "when can you start?" I pulled up the owner's LinkedIn account to verify that it was an actual business.

I *may* have also searched for any lurking court records - Aunt Michelle gets a bit protective over her flock.

Duly satisfied that it was a legit biz, I checked what the company was doing marketing wise so I could share some ideas with him.

Whew, what a mess.

A dead facebook page, no other social media and the website was definitely not optimized for search.

Heck, it was barely optimized for humans - after scouring the sparse site, I still wasn't clear what the business actually did.

Websites aren't dead.

But if they're not doing what you need them to do, they might as well be six feet under.

So I'm sharing two great free trainings to help you do more with your site.

  • Struggle with getting your message across?
  • Spend way too much time second guessing your words?
  • Feel like you sound like everybody else?

Then grab a spot in my friend Marisa's upcoming live masterclass: The Leave 'Em Wanting More Masterclass:* The Proven 3-Part Copy Framework My Clients Use to Make People Say, “Me. Want. Yes. Now!

Learn how to craft hooks that grab attention, turn boring copy into binge-worthy messaging and write copy that makes everyone want to work with you.

When my fellow web designer friend Emilia asked me to be part of her upcoming summit, The Money Making Website,* I was an immediate yes.

Between the two of us, we've launched hundreds of sites and advised thousands of students on how to craft effective, efficient websites that get noticed, attract clients and drive revenue.

This one's especially great if you're a service provider - the summit focuses on proven, actionable strategies to optimize your website and book better-fit, higher-paying clients.

Grab your free spot* and listen to our interview on how to make more money with your list. In our talk I share my personal go-to revenue generator - the 6 emails every service provider should have in their back pocket.

you've got this,
Michelle

p.s. *both events are free, but affiliate links are noted. Should you upgrade to a paid offering, I will be compensated.

p.p.s. I'm stoked my nephew is here for the weekend so we can nerd out on content generation ideas and create more fun b-roll footage like this.

I never thought I'd be obsessed with guinea pigs, but well, here we are. In an effort to cheer up my nightly doomscrolling my husband sent me this reel and I'm officially hooked. Who knew it would be this brain soothing to watch animals nibble veggies for hours on end? Franky, I think the term guinea pig gets a bad rap - and I'm looking for a few to help me out. This week I've been speaking to groups all about getting more (quality) leads from repeatable activities - like connecting ManyChat...

I willingly sign up to get murdered every Friday (not to be confused with getting murdered on the show The Traitors, my other current obsession).

These days, my college roommate Justin and I communicate mainly through inappropriate memes we dm each other. I'll probably get cancelled if those ever get out.He's one of my dearest friends - even though he used to hide the good cookies on the top shelf in our kitchen. He's 6'7" and I'm pocket-sized.
