This week's episode is a replay from when I interviewed Andy Ortega, a Solutions Consultant for Kajabi. Andy and I used to work together at Kajabi, and today, we're going to dive DEEP into why Kajabi is so great and why it's truly my favorite platform. What is Kajabi? Founded about 10 years ago, Kajabi is an all-in-one platform for online courses, marketing, blogging, web design, and so much more… but a lot of people still haven't heard of it. What can you do with Kajabi? You can create online courses, market those courses, build a website, build an email list all in one place without the need for third-party products. The beauty of Kajabi is that it centralizes everything you could need to run an online business. Instead of needing multiple platforms (one for your website, one for your email list, one for your course, and so on and so forth), Kajabi includes all these tools in one place, saves you money, saves you time, and the possibilities are endless. Grab your cup of coffee and join us as we talk about: The basics of Kajabi: what it is, how you can use it How does Kajabi measure up?

It's been a few weeks since we've released a new episode, so thank you for your patience! Sometimes we need to take time for ourselves, and all you entrepreneurs can empathize with the ebbs and flows of entrepreneurship and needing to step back every now and then. Feelings of stress, anxiety, and burnout are all normal. You just have to find a way to hit the reboot button and get grounded. For me, that means getting out in nature. All I needed was to be present without my phone in nature to feel refreshed. As we continue our website series, today's episode is all about how to choose the right website platform for you based on your industry. We'll be diving even deeper in the next few episodes about many of the common website platforms, SEO and more! Personally, I use Kajabi and ShowIt, and because of that, I know a ton about both of them. I'm going to go over some of the other platforms today, but full disclosure: I'm not an expert in any of these, and I recommend doing your research and due diligence when finding a platform. The #1 question I ask myself when choosing a platform or a software is: “Can this support me 4-5 years from now? Will this platform grow with me and my business?” Grab your cup of coffee and join us as we talk about: The best platforms for each industry Does a service provider need an all-in-one platform?

So kicking off this mini-series is today's solocast where I'm going to talk about the ways that having a website can help grow and scale your business. From SEO to email lists to making money in your sleep, there is so much that a strategically (and I say strategically on purpose) designed website can do for you and your business.

Ellen MacKenzie is a corporate escapee turned 6-figure social media strategist and coach. She's based in New Zealand and recently celebrated two years full-time in her business.

Ellen is a self-proclaimed serial side-hustler and always had both an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for the internet, even as a teenager with a blog.

Lauren started her business as a side hustle in 2016. At the time she was working in investment banking with a high-paying job that she couldn't stand, but what she really wanted to do was coaching.

She now has a course called Slay Your Side Hustle, which is a 12-step system to go from concept to cash flow in 90 days while working a demanding corporate job. If you're stuck in a dead end corporate job but you're yearning for the freedom of entrepreneurship, sometimes all you need is to give yourself permission to go for it, but once you do that, what's next? In this episode, Lauren is going to share her best sale strategies specifically for those of you who want to turn your side hustle into a full-time biz and say goodbye to the corporate carousel forever.

Taryn is a systems and client experience expert who helps 5-6 figure service providers elevate their clients' experiences with them and create systemized processes that save them time! She specializes in Dubsado, Trello, Slack, and Zapier integrations. There's a lot of buzz in the online business world about having strategies, but do your systems support those strategies? Do your systems really support your customer journey, from leads to onboarding, all the way through to offboarding?

Taryn and I are going over everything you need to know to give your customers an amazing client experience through solid, locked-in systems. If you've been thinking about using Dubsado as a CRM, or Trello for project management, Taryn is your girl! Since referrals can be the lifeblood of your business, we also talk about how you can network with the right people whose business complements yours to boost your referrals.

When it comes to website design, we tend to talk a lot about the importance of good design and good copywriting, but there's something I think is even more important than either of these: user experience. User experience isn't something that is talked about enough.
