In my opinion, that price is a little ridiculous for your average local...
I read some e-commerce advice the other day that got me thinking... Someone I follow on Instagram has had great success selling website planning worksheets as an onramp to her business courses and consulting services. She knows her repeat customer rate is 60% (which is insanely high in e-commerce). Once someone buys her $5 printable worksheet, they're highly likely to buy her $300 course, then some of them will buy her group and private consulting. The advice that piqued my interest? "Don't...
How to turn any paper-and-pen scribble into a dynamic Canva icon... I know the right people will geek out over this one with me 🤪 Instead of reading: Follow along with my video tutorial!
