Our biggest online business flops & failures - Guest episode on the Online Business Besties podcast

You know how they always say that “Good things come in three’s”?

Well I have to say that in today’s case, this is DEFINITELY TRUE!

I’m super excited to let you all know that I’m back for a third guest appearance on the Online Business Besties podcast, hosted by my own biz bestie Paige Brunton!

Whether we’re chatting online on our weekly mastermind Zoom calls or getting together in Toronto or Bali to record a podcast in person, we always have so much fun together and I’m thrilled that you can listen in while we talk shop and generally shoot the sh*t in the best way possible :)

In case you missed my previous guest appearances on Paige’s Online Business Besties podcast, here are the links to listen to those episodes:

Annnnnyways, we always have so much fun collaborating together and I was thrilled that Paige asked me back again on the podcast!

We recorded this episode in-person when we were both working remotely in Bali a few months ago. On the afternoon in question, we crammed ourselves into a tiny, teeny, minuscule little Skype room at a local co-working space and ended up having a really FUN yet open & honest conversation about our biggest online business flops and failures.

These are the kind of things that are a little awkward to talk about on your own so I’m super glad that we were able to tag team this topic, share our own experience, be vulnerable but also laugh about our mistakes (believe me, we’ve definitely made them)!

This conversation is packed full of practical information, as well as insights into our own work as Squarespace web designers/developers, and I know you’ll get a kick out of listening to the two of us shoot the sh*t while still delivering a value-packed conversation.

10 reasons why you NEED to start pitching your web design/development services

Coming in HOT with a blog post that is equal parts motivation and tough love :)

We’re going to talk all about pitching your web design and development services and why it’s something you need to start doing TODAY.

There’s no doubt in my mind that by the time you reach the bottom of this blog post, I’ll have you totally convinced that pitching your services is the most effective marketing strategy, and it’s something you need to implement in your own business starting today if you want to see great results.

I am a massive advocate for taking inspired action in business. Whether you want to work with dream clients - trust me, they’re out there! - , make more money, develop a swoon-worthy portfolio, or generally get the most enjoyment out of the work you do, pitching will fast-track everything.

But I’ve got to tell you, pitchin’ ain’t easy.

Yes, pitching will get you in front of the right potential clients a heck of a lot faster than other marketing methods and is known to have a higher conversion rate… but that doesn’t mean that it’s simple or straightforward work. If it was, everyone would be doing it!

The fact of the matter is that pitching is a real skill and it requires a lot of strategy, resilience and proactive behaviour. But from my own experience, I can tell you that it pays off like you wouldn’t believe.

If you’re on the fence about pitching and wonder if it’s something you should try out, or if it could work for you, then I’m here to give you a friendly shove in the right direction. Pitching your services WILL work for you too and the fastest way to get the results you want is to simply get started.

Let’s take a look.
