Business is an interesting thing – especially when you do creative work, as I\u2019m sure you know. I\u2019ve been building websites for nearly 12 years – longer than I\u2019ve known my husband! It\u2019s been a significant part of my life. One that I love and hold very dear to my heart.<\/p>\n
Which is why this change is so significant.<\/p>\n
My business has shifted. More than that, I have shifted. I find the work that I love the most is that which allows me to share the knowledge that I\u2019ve gained over these many years, and that which allows me to explore and discover more. I\u2019m a curious person, and I love the opportunity to discover, explore, and share what I\u2019ve learned. It drives everything I do. I love to learn, and I love to share that knowledge.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m excited to share with you a significant change in Merket Creative.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m shifting into more of what I\u2019m best at, and more of what my clients keep asking me about – digital marketing. I\u2019ll design custom websites as part of a bigger digital strategy plan. I\u2019ll be consulting and strategizing with people just like you – and I hope you\u2019ll join me.<\/p>\n
If you have questions about creating a digital marketing strategy, or designing and scheduling social media posts, I\u2019m here for you.<\/p>\n
If you need help with branding or SEO, I\u2019m here for you.<\/p>\n
Need help with writing copy that converts? I\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m opening up spots in group courses and small mastermind groups.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll also be taking on a limited number of coaching clients. I\u2019m opening the doors to teach and coach, while simultaneously closing the door on design without an underlying strategy.<\/p>\n
If you still need a designer, let\u2019s chat. Chances are, I\u2019m still your girl – just in a different role than I\u2019ve played before. We\u2019ll take a step back and evaluate exactly how your new website will improve your marketing strategy, and we\u2019ll create THAT plan, instead of just a pretty site.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve also created several templates if you\u2019re needing something less custom. These templates are perfect for actors and artists. You\u2019ll learn more about those templates in the coming days.<\/p>\n
Merket Creative will still offer hosting and maintenance. I\u2019ve revamped the structure of my hosting plans, so you can choose the one that fits your needs best. See your options here.<\/a><\/p>\n As you may know, I have a bachelor’s degree in marketing and a masters degree in communication, where I emphasized in social media for business. I often hear business owners say \u201cI hate social media\u201d and I get it – it can be super confusing and frustrating. I\u2019ve helped several clients over the last few years find success with their social presence, and I\u2019m ready to teach you how to do it too. I just wrapped up a free course called IntAct Social\u2122<\/a> where we talked about how to do social media on purpose. We talked about prepping your business for digital marketing, and how to really fine tune the message you\u2019re sending. (If this interests you, join us for the next round in January!<\/a>)<\/p>\n I\u2019ll also be launching courses in digital marketing, photoshop, SEO, editing everything – photos, copy, websites\u2026 and even one on product photography (because you really can take solid product photos with your iPhone).<\/p>\n I’ll be taking on a very limited number of full-service clients – I’ll handle everything from creating your branding to building your website, writing your copy, and then creating a marketing plan around you and your product. I’ll handle your social media, too. (If this is the right option for you, message me right now<\/a>. I have 1 spot left for the next 4 months.)<\/p>\n I\u2019ll also be consulting on websites – how to make them better and convert more. I just won\u2019t be executing the design without a strategy in place.<\/p>\n If you have digital marketing questions, I\u2019m TOTALLY here for you.<\/p>\n In fact, I\u2019d love to offer you an introductory strategy session at a significantly reduced rate as a way of saying \u201cthank you\u201d for being part of this incredible journey so far. Just click on this link to book your appointment.<\/a> No coupon code to enter. You’ll see the reduced price as soon as you get to the site.<\/p>\n Working with people like you has been the greatest part of my job, and I can\u2019t wait to support you in an even better way by sharing insights into the world of digital marketing.<\/p>\n The ancient Chinese proverb says: \u201cGive a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.\u201d I\u2019m ready to hand you the line. Are you ready to take it?<\/p>\nLet me tell you a bit about what I will be doing, because maybe this is the next step for you too!<\/h1>\n
If you have questions, I\u2019m here.<\/h2>\n
