Building a successful site requires you to get good at many skills, such as…

Market Research

If you choose the wrong market, your site will be guaranteed to fail. This first stage is the single most important part of any authority site and the one that most people get wrong.

Keyword Research

While picking the right tool is the first challenge for beginners, Knowing how to use it effectively to uncover the right keywords is where more people fail at in their new site journey.

Tech Site Setup

There are millions of tools, plugins, and themes nowadays. With so many choices, it’s difficult to pick the right one. Slow, clunky, and out-of-date technology will kill your rankings.

Design & Branding

Getting hung up on your fonts or color scheme? What should be a quick decision can slow you down. And the worst part? Designing a great-looking site is easier than you think.

Content Creation

It’s not as easy as just writing about a topic. Your content needs to appeal to both readers AND Google. Most people waste a huge amount of time writing content destined to fail.

Link Building

Your site won’t rank without links. It’s no secret link building is hard. And scaling true white hat link building is even more difficult. There are severe penalties for doing it wrong.

Hiring & Outsourcing

You don’t want to be doing all the work yourself forever. Hiring the right people online is tricky. Outsourcing, if done incorrectly, can be the most costly mistake for any authority site.

Monetization

This is why you’re doing this in the first place, right? To make money. We’re always amazed by how many authority sites neglect proven monetization strategies that are easy to implement.

Analytics & Tracking

You need to set up the right tracking tools to keep tabs on the growth of your business and understand which areas need your focus & attention. Can you say “technical nightmare?”

I have a BFA in graphic design and a BA in journalism but my design career didn’t take shape until my 10-year gig working for a big-time concert promoter lost its allure. Don’t get me wrong - the music biz had its perks…

But I was over the 60-hour work weeks and limited income potential.

I learned Showit on the side while working concerts in dirty rock clubs until I realized...I could make more money and work less hours on my own.

I started my own business in 2018 and dove head first into the Showit platform. Four years later, I'm a Showit Design Partner, my company has 6 team members and is bringing in multiple six-figures a year. 

I want that for you too.

• Navigating the Back-end: This is your clear introduction to the Site Settings, Design Settings (aka where you input branded fonts & colors ), Media Library, and the items + options within each panel.
• Understanding Canvases and Pages: Now that you have your bearings, we’ll be explaining the differences between canvases and canvas settings as well as site canvases, plus pages and page settings.
• Loading & Customizing Brand-Specific Content:  Here’s where the site really starts to take shape – it’s time to upload all branded content & assets, from custom fonts and colors, to logos, and images.
• Making Your Site Stand Out: With photography, copy, and branding set, it’s time to have a little fun and find your creative flow.
• Blogging with WordPress: You’ll learn how Showit and WordPress work together, how to submit a blog setup/migration, how to create and adjust WordPress blog templates,..
• Getting More Traffic to Your Site with SEO: Although easily overlooked, Showit has built-in SEO page settings so all your hard work is optimized for showing up on search engines like Google.

Step 2 is all about setting up your business and home life in a strategic way that gets you off the hamster wheel of to do's and helps you streamline every aspect of your life for maximum results. 

After that, you can grow your business as high as you want because you have ALL the pieces in place!

Million Dollar Shop®

Your store is like a map...you're either leading them to BUY or leading them to LEAVE!!!

Do you want your dreams to come true?

Seems like a silly question, right? Of COURSE, we all want our dreams to come true and we want a quicker, faster, easier way to get there...a map, someone to hold our hand as we walk through uncharted territory.

Just as YOU want YOUR dreams to come true, so do your customers!

You have to show your customers that you can solve their problem, help them achieve their dream WITH YOUR product.

If you can't, they leave and you don't get YOUR dream.

See in product creation, YOUR dream is ALL ABOUT HELPING THEM CREATE THEIRS!!!!

I sell printables in my store. I help people create their dream of being more organized, being less scattered, less overwhelmed.

So you COULD throw up a store (or a link to buy on your blog) and expect sales, but you're not helping anyone reach their goals, OR you can take your dreams seriously right now and set up your shop in the right way, using the right method...Shopify.

Before I started on Shopify, I released a product and it bombed. I sold 3 copies.

You can admit that having an email list with 50,000 people on it and getting 3 sales is a total failure, right? I mean, it bombed HARD!

I put that SAME product on Shopify a few weeks later and got 52 sales!

The only difference I made between 3 sales and 52 sales was the platform I used to sell the item on.

Shopify got me 52 sales in that first baby launch!

That's when everything changed for me. It was all about the platform and setting it up in a way that would GET SALES!

Because what's the point of getting traffic to your site, if when they GET THERE, they DO...NOT...BUY!

That first month on Shopify, I ended up making an insane amount of money ($52,060)!

It's been absolutely crazy!

For a girl who used to be homeless...for a girl who used to survive on only $18k/year with 2 kids to support after my ex-husband abandoned me. That girl now makes multi-millions/year in her Shopify store! I just couldn't believe it.
