Growth Hacking & Online Marketing for Creative Entrepreneurs

A year from now you'll wish you had started today (Karen Lamb). Learn how to get the most out of this course and apply it directly to improving the results you're seeing in your own life and career.

I’ve worked with many hosts that overload their servers with way too many
accounts, causing the server to fail and my site to suffer. There’s been a time where I paid for an expensive advertising campaign to drive traffic to my site while the host was down. My advertising dollars got me nothing. I should have thrown my money in a lake somewhere and I would have at least enjoyed the ripple effect for a while. I created this course to share my experience so you can do it better.

I had a conversation with a friend the other day who is a self-proclaimed “entrepreneur”, but doesn’t seem to believe in the need to do any personal branding. I was shocked, as I think the two go hand in hand. I believe everyone has a personal brand, whether you like it or not. And it can work for you if you take care of it and build it, or against you if you don’t.

All goals are awesome - but they all cost money, there's a price tag attached to your goal. The money itself isn't the goal but it will help you get there. More important than that is the why: why do you want to go after a certain goal. Once you have a goal and a clear why you can start moving towards the target that you have set.

Being financially free is a goal for many. But what does it mean? And what does it mean for you? The outcome is different for everyone, but you'll need at least a plan in place to get to where you want to be. 

You get stuck sometimes in a career as a creative entrepreneur. You need goals to focus on what's next, and struggle through the process whenever you get stuck. It takes effort - setting goals is not always easy.

I’m a big believer in setting goals and priorities. They’re a great way to make dreams become a reality. But the world isn’t flat. Once you made it all the way to the “horizon” – the realization of your dream – it’s not the end of the world. There’s more beyond the horizon. You’re never “there”, you’ve never “made it”. But how do you know what's next?

What do you see in opportunities? If a relationship is full of fear, anger, worry - all those things would influence that relationship. They will drag us down as a great big weight. Find and focus on positive, supportive emotions in the relationship instead.

Thoughts lead to feelings lead to actions lead to results. Every thought and feeling you bring to every action you take - you carry them into any relationship you're in which will impact your results. 

You know your idea needs a great website, but where and how to start building a site? There are an overwhelming amount of options for web hosting available, which makes the task even more daunting. Who to trust with your online presence? I regularly meet small business owners, especially artrepreneurs, who don’t even have a website. And that’s a shame. Even with no computer skills you can have a great looking website, and I’m going to show you how – without getting too technical. 

Building a website doesn’t have to be complicated. But before you start ask yourself the following questions. Keep your answers simple and to the point. Each answer shouldn’t be more than a sentence (maybe two).

Once you’ve created your site, it’s time to let people know about it. I’m going to share some ideas with you on how I get the word out about my site in the “offline” world.
