  • Your ONLY Link on Instagram 😱 What do you put there?! . . With only one URL link available to you, making sure you use the best one for Instagram is so important (hint, it isn’t always your home page URL). . . . ❌Do not use LinkTree to add in 5 million different links and overwhelm people with options - it's like going to Wal-Mart and having all those shampoo options, getting tired of looking and picking one you end up not liking. . . . . ❌Don't put no link at all. . . . . ❌Don't ignore your insights - are people even clicking on your link? And which link?. . . . . ✔️Think about the most actionable page you can send your followers to; your portfolio, your opt-in, your contact page, a blog post, etc… and know that you are not stuck with that one link forever. . . . . ✔️Updating your link often (especially if you are a product based shop) is a great way to provide a reason for followers to continue back to your bio again and again! . . . . . . . ✔️Alternative option: Have a page on your website with MAX 3 options - the bonus here is people are already on your website and can look around! . . Happy Sunday to all my #ceobabes and #bossbabes ! Cheers!

  • What it is & How it Can Benefit YOU as an Entrepreneur using IG or on your Website: First things first, it's actually opposite of the TV ads you see -those copywriters are working a long-term game. They want you to remember their product at some point in the future, when/if you see it on supermarket shelves. Direct-response copywriting focuses on the immediate moment. This is copy that’s about inspiring the buyer to take action as soon as they’re finished reading. And I'm betting you would LOVE it if people read your Instagram post and became your client right away, right?! You're trying to get them to complete an action like: Making a purchase Signing up for your newsletter Downloading a freebie Following you on social media To do this, you have to craft copy that tugs at your reader’s emotions, and, most importantly, addresses their worries, fears, pain points, or immediate needs. You don't want to address your audience as if they're in a group - when people read your copy they're alone - so address them on a personal level. Here's 6 Key Principals you Must Follow: 1. The headline needs to snag their attention, inspire their curiosity, and spark their interest. 2. Long-Form Copy Informs, Persuades, and Convinces Meaning a long sales page will convert more than a short one. When your customers have more information, they feel like they’re making a better, smarter decision. 3. An Irresistible Call-to-action Clinches the Response You Want Example: A button that says "Submit" vs. one that says "Yes! Give Me Access!" 4. Staying Customer-Focused Keeps Your Copy Relevant It’s about them, not about you. In fact, this form of copywriting exclusively uses the second person voice to address the reader. It’s “you” focused. 5. K.I.S.S. Ensures You Don’t Go Over Their Heads. (Aka "Keep it Simple Stupid😂"). To inspire direct action from your words, you must write at their level – not over it, not under it. 6.Cultivating a Sense of Urgency Makes Direct Customer Action Inevitable You can create an irresistible build up of the benefits or use the scarcity principal to only have a few spots or only a few left, etc. ⬇ What's your biggest takeaway from this?!
  • // 4️⃣ Elements to Include On Your Website to Generate More Leads! // Happy Thursday everyone! There's no point in having your website if you're not directing traffic to it, getting traffic or getting leads from said website! Below is a quick list of what your website absolutely needs to have. Without this information, your visitors may be left unsure of who you are, what you do, and most importantly how to contact you to book your services! 1.WHAT SERVICES YOU OFFER + WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THEM The single most important thing any website should have is a list of your services. Your services should be easy to find and easy to understand. 2.THE PRICE OF YOUR SERVICES if you don’t include your prices on your website you’re more likely to get a bunch of inquiries either asking you for your prices or asking to book a consultation. You’ll spend so much time crafting the perfect email or having that perfect consultation to only get a “oh… that’s a little too far above my budget.” If your pricing is different for every project just include “pricing starts at: $_____.” 3.WHO YOU ARE As a small business or entrepreneur it’s so important to include information about yourself on your website. It not only gives people a peak into who they are going to work with but it also builds credibility. Just a short blurb about yourself that includes why you started your business and why they should trust you to provide the services you have on your website is enough to put people’s minds at ease. 4.CONTACT INFO People need to know exactly how to get in touch with you and you want to make it easy for them to figure out. Make sure that you have an entire page dedicated to contacting you and that the page is easy to find. On that page you should include your contact information and an inquiry form. 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉 Do you have questions about driving traffic to your website or lead generation?! Leave it below and I'll do a Mini Training! 💁
  • ☀️GOOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!!!!☀️ If we haven't met before or maybe you follow me but have no idea who I am, I'm Jess! Fueled by sheer stubborness, Fizz Sticks & a fantastic obsession with Instagram, I am a Brand & Website Designer for female entrepreneurs. AKA your new behind-the-scenes BFF here to help you build an online presence that books your dream clients. On my blog, I help women learn how they can earn an income online with a few health + wellness posts mixed in because I am a full believer that if you're not taking care of YOU, everything else will suffer too. I live and breath online marketing and am here to help you stand out online and make a living doing what you love. I wear many hats, but the main ones are the founder of A Country Girl Co., Mom & Farm-wife. I grew up on an Organic farm, love horseback riding, wakeboarding, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and being at the lake! The very first website I designed was when I was 16 and it was a personal page as well as a fan page for The OC (anyone remember the site Piczo 😂 ). I got my Business degree but once in my full-time job I realized slowly climbing the corporate ladder was not for me. I started this business on the side of my 9-5 after my friend got screwed over (for lack of a better term) on a website with about $2k down the drain. I taught myself everything and she ended up loving the end result and I realized I LOVED doing it! Now I've been doing it for over 4 years and have gotten to work with the most amazing variety of female entrepreneurs from a brand new luxe clothing brand to network marketers, artists and coaches. I'm obsessed with what I do and helping women realize their potential so that they can become the woman they desire to be. I love seeing your vision come to life and creating an online presence that is truly you so you can create the business and life of your dreams. That's me in a little nutshell 😊. Cheers! Jess P.S. Please introduce yourself below and let's get to know each other! 😊💜

  • 🔥HOW TO WRITE YOUR BIZ STORY SO IT CAPTIVATES + CONVERTS: 🔥 ↘️ You don’t need a special talent to craft your own business story. 💁 First, define the 4️⃣key moments of your business story: Which problem do you solve? Which insight sparked the start (or pivoting) of your business? What are you doing now to fix the problem? What’s your mission? When you connect your mission to your founding story, you energize and motivate your audience. Think about this today! Write it down. Say it out loud. Practice recording yourself! I will be sharing MORE on this but this is part 1! Stay tuned!!! Cheers!

  • It would be REALLY easy to not go for our dreams. It would be REALLY easy to give up and just "get by". It would be REALLY easy to say "maybe one day". ➡️But you know what would so NOT be easy? The feeling of knowing you never went for it. The regret of not saying yes to your goals and your dreams. That empty feeling inside of you wanting something bigger. The feeling of knowing you are capable of so much more but never actually going for it. Resenting people because they tried to shrink you down or scoff at your dreams. I told MAYBE 3 people about this business when I started it. I was SO scared (and honestly sometimes still can be (hello just because I hit 10k followers doesn't mean I'm not human) ) of what other people might think of me for doing something different. I grew up on a farm by a town that had 60 people in it. SIXTY. It doesn't exactly scream job opportunity like New York City. But I loved it there. I also knew I wanted to live in the country but I didn't want to end up in a job I hated. So I decided to just go for it. I took messy action. I knew I needed something I could literally do from anywhere. My first website for myself was hilarious - I've changed my biz name multiple times - I've had failed sales calls - ppl unfollow me - I've had flops but my successes are starting to outweigh those. Because I said yes. I said yes to starting my business in 2015 and I said yes to partnering with a Health + Wellness company and I said yes to my dreams and my goals. So if there is something inside you that secretly you want to do but are too afraid to tell anyone about - I'm here to let all my #bossbabes, #smalltowngirls, #countrygirls and #citygirls alike know that you've got to do it. You can be whoever you want to be. & this is your safe space to LET IT BE KNOWN. Just because you're "busy", or maybe work full-time, are in school, are a Mom, live in the middle of nowhere, etc.,is all the more reason why you should, NOT the reason why you shouldn't. You've got something amazing to share with the world & there are people out there waiting for YOU to say your YES so that they can too. xo, Jess P.S. what's your fave donut?! I'm a Boston Creme!
