Thursday Press #25: Yes, you need a website
[14 APR 2022] and what to do if you don't have one
“You’re flossing every day, right?”
Shame fills your body as you struggle to mumble out a half-excuse with the dentist’s hands fully in your mouth
It’s the question we all dread. We all know what we *should* be doing to take care of our dental hygiene – brushing twice a day, flossing, mouthwash, etc.
And I bet you dutifully scrub your pearly whites every morning and night
But flossing? Ugh, don’t remind me.
Flossing is like the website of the business world.
You started out on Instagram and you post consistently, but you’ve been procrastinating creating your website because you get enough clients through Instagram and every time you think about writing your website copy or trying to build a page in Showit you want to throw your computer out of your window (just me?)
Despite this, having a website for your business actually has several benefits. It may not be life-saving like how flossing can prevent gum and heart disease, but a website gives you a professional home online that acts as a dream client magnet and ultimately makes you more money!
Plus, it’s the first thing I ask if you want to get started with Pinterest marketing.
So even though you might not want to hear this – yes, you do need a website.
Never fear! Before you go back to that throwing-your-computer-out-a-window state of frustration, I have something to share with you.
My friend, client, and copywriting queen Sara of Between the Lines Copywriting has launched the most comprehensive website copywriting course I’ve ever seen.
With 6 dreamy modules – ahem, chapters – of example-packed information, you’ll go through the EXACT process she uses to write website copy for her clients, as well as learning how to actually get people to your beautiful new site with SEO, blogging, and email marketing.
(p.s. you might also see a familiar face teaching you how to market your content on Pinterest 👀)
I’ll let you scroll through the sales page for yourself in a sec, but first let me share my favorite part: “Growing my business would have been SO much easier if I'd been willing to trust online educators.”
I’ve spent a lot of time in my business skeptical of courses, coaches, and investments, and Sara has a similar story, which is why I know I can trust her to deliver in this course.
If you’re ready to have all the knowledge you need to finally write, launch, and successfully market your shiny new website, you can sign up here!
Even if you don’t use my link, I don’t think you’re going to want to miss this one!
And if there are any other questions I can answer about the course, why I think you need a website, or how to start flossing (because I actually have been a member of the daily flossing gang for 2+ years now!), you know where my inbox is!
