Are you:​
​
-
tired of being unrecognized for your creativity?
-
sick of living as a “starving artist?
-
dreaming of showcasing your creative projects online where they can be seen, appreciated and sold?
-
overwhelmed by the technology necessary to promote online?
-
unsure about how to implement a promotion strategy?
-
aware you should be promoting online but dislike doing it?
-
too busy making to promote what you create?
Imagine instead if,
as a Creative/Maker, you...
​
-
are recognized as the artist you are
-
enjoy a robust, creatively thriving life
-
have a feature-rich website for admirers to learn about your creative pursuits and purchase from you
-
know how to execute promotional tasks with ease
-
have confidence to promote your creative endeavors like a "natural"
-
built - and actually enjoy interacting with - your online community of enthusiastic followers
-
have the support you need to focus more on your creativity than on distracting promotional details
Have you fallen into the trap of believing only the left side of this statement?
It's a lie! You CAN profitably thrive as a creative!
Imagine no more!
I know all this is possible
because I was like you...
​
a Creative with a dream of making a living engaging in my creative endeavors
who didn't have the tools or know-how to break through
the confusing process of promoting my creative efforts online
to get noticed and earn money from pursuing them.
​
I was scared, uncertain and overwhelmed
at the prospect of "going for it."
​
There were so many questions!
​
How do I even get started?
​
How - and where - do I find people who will
notice, appreciate - and buy - my art?
​
How do I communicate with potential customers?
​
What should I say and where should I say it?
​
...to name just a few!
​
I remember all too well that hollow-in-the-chest feeling
that time was slipping by;
that I was doomed to live a small, workaday life
that didn't include my big dream of selling my creations online
...and it broke my heart.
That frustration is precisely what led me
to create a solution to this problem,
so other creatives could have
an easier way to step into their
life's purpose and earn income
pursuing their unique
talents and abilities.
The marketing techniques I'd been using
for more than a decade
were the key to it all.
​
These skills can empower creatives to
BUILD AN ONLINE BUSINESS
selling the fruits of their talents
and help them to - finally - enjoy a profitable career that
aligns with their passion.

You get a completely done-for-you website (no learning new programs, spending hours putting all the pieces together and guessing about best practices).
​
Professional copywriting to tell your creative business' life story clearly and persuasively, and with words that will have search engines sit up and take notice. There's no need to spend the time to find the right words - I've got them for you!
An optimized-for-engagement social media account - Do you use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn to engage with people who appreciate your creative pursuits? You should! I'll make sure you're set up with a social media account that will build community around your creative endeavors.
A customized email marketing account with distribution list management - Be CAN-Spam compliant and embrace the power of email to connect and communicate with an audience of people who have expressed interest in what you do. I'll make that happen and show you how to grow your all-important contact (a.k.a prospects) list.
An original, educational handbook to guide you through the technology and processes - I know you're new to this and could use a handy reference resource. I've got your back!
