Campaign and Strategy Services
Successful engagements have road maps to guide them. A plan clearly spells out what’s going to get done, by whom, and by when. It serves as a checklist to gauge the progress of your project, and helps make course corrections where necessary. It allows me to schedule my workload across all my clients, and keeps unexpected surprises and additional work at bay. Consequently, I recommend a strategic plan for engagements with more than a few moving parts.

Copy Writing and SEO Services
Copywriting is likely the crux of our engagement. Once I understand your challenges, I will create copy that, first and foremost, engages your prospects, clients, or members with content that is important to them. Closely on the heels of that effort is that of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Public content serves to educate and inform, and it must be tuned to make search engines believe in its relevancy to searches.

Site Structure and Specialty Services
When I am copywriting, I am creating content that you can use in your web site pages, your blogs, your emails, and other communications. There are times when you might not have the vehicle to make that content accessible. I can create and host entire websites, including full sites, micro-sites, or landing pages. I can also set up and operate service platforms such as Mailchimp, Aweber, InfusionSoft, and others. And inside of your websites, I can further create integration with merchant providers such as PayPal, Square, Stripe, and others.

Despite doing what seems like all the right stuff, you’re not getting the return you need. I’ll get under the hood of all your channels to see what’s going on, and to make recommendations that I think will give you the biggest benefit.

Marketing Funnel Services
A leading strategy for creating a large client or member base is to first engage people with high-value material that you give away for free. In the process of giving these nuggets, you want to build your prospect list, so the call to action is to capture their name and email address. This is the least invasive capture, and many people are used to this process now. So the marketing funnel is a lead-generation system that gives you the ability to stay in touch to present more offers.
