Wow! What a beautiful website this turned out to be!

When I first met Rod, I remember saying “about your website…”. He knew right away what I meant.

Giving us full control to work through his logo, branding and design, this website is a great display of a non-hyper masculine style.

The colors play back to his roots of where he grew up and coached and this website truly highlights his professional achievements and direction he is heading in!

Check it out today!

Favourite part of our job? Taking our clients on HUGE transformations. 🚀

Not only should your website be easy on the eye… it should also be packed with strategy that’s going to move your business forward and help you achieve your goals.

If your website designer can’t talk to you about strategy, conversion optimisation or what the ROI will be then they’re not for you.

Competition is fierce. A pretty website just isn’t enough anymore.

If you’re interested in having a mini website audit that will drop some strategic gems that’ll help you reach your goals then head to the link in our bio and book yours for FREE.

I recently came across an IG story of speaking about getting a seat at the table.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we start our business and are working to grow them it always seems like we’re fighting for a “seat at the table”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are always trying to make it, but here’s our thought and Jahari made it clear.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who cares about that seat or that table!? Why are you working so hard to sit at someone else’s table? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make your own seat. Shoot- build your own table for that matter and watch how many people want a seat at what you’ve built!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So tell us, what have you been building lately?

Ready to tap into what your ideal clients are REALLY needing?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We hear this all of the time - "How do I find out how to best service my ideal clients?".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's pretty simple - ASK! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it be an IG poll, post or story, asking your ideal clients what they need help with is the best way to figure out how to best service them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many times, people worry about answering this question online in fear that you will jump into their DMs and start to sell to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make your intentions clear by saying things like "NOT SELLING ANYONE HERE" or "SIMPLY DOING MARKET RESEARCH". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can always offer up a discount code to anyone that wants to inquire more about your services but don't push people when you're simply trying to tap into their brains and thought process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So friends, what more are you looking for from The Creative Eights?

Wondering why Done for You is the right route to take?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hate to break it to you, but...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you don't have a solid lead generation strategy for your website, what's the point in having a website.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few tips on how to make sure you're capturing leads on the homepage of your website!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Use a popup - if you're promoting a sale or a freebie, this is a great way to gather email address and then drop potential clients into your email funnels.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Have a call to action button above the fold - when someone lands on your website, what they see first before ever having to scroll is called "above the fold."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have a strong call to action button with exactly what you want your clients to do to help generate leads. For example, this could read "Book my call now" or "I'm ready to sign up".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3- Newsletter or freebie sign up - You should have an area for people to sign up for either your newsletter or your freebie so that you can always collect email address. Selling in the inbox is a wonderful strategy and remember, if all social media went away tomorrow, you'd still have your email list!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We're not everyone's cup of tea...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and we're perfectly okay with that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
QUIT trying to run your business like everyone else. Nicole and I have had many talks about what is important to us. While we've had bumps in the road and lots of success as well, we always make sure that we are checking in with one other on our core values as a company.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you like to run your business a certain way but are worried because others don't, who cares. At the end of the day, it's your business and you have to run it how you want.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Making sure that you can rest easy each night knowing you did what's right for your business is important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Monday, we challenge you to write down at least three core values of your company and stick to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you'd like, share one below so others can get some inspiration.

Do I have your attention yet?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to an eye-catching headline!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stopping the scroll is really hard these days and we get it. Shoot, we've been known to scroll for hours on end as well!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The two things that stop the scroll in it's tracks are your image and your headline.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember, headlines can be used in your social media posts AND on your website. Here are a few tips on how focus on eye-catching headlines:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Focus on a shocking (yet always true) statement. One that will make your ideal client's jaw drop. For example, revenue milestones are great for this. "I made $10k in less than 30 days!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Post an "unpopular" opinion. No, we're not talking political but if someone had a headline that read "Fast food is okay to eat and still lose weight.", this might draw in some extra eyeballs to your post.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Finally, a quote or something some said to you. This can be positive or negative. Everything from "You've saved my life" to "You're never going to make it in this business." can make someone stop scrolling and want to read more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, which of these new headlines will you be trying out next? Tell us below!
