New site, new clients, new venues? What are your goals and how are they going?

Take a look around... Our intention is a useful, kind, generous, supportive, and inspirational community. We want us all to exceed in our mission of connecting the right people to our magic. What doesn't work... Posting to promote your event in hopes you'll get attendees. This is the place to get feedback on your marketing so that you can be successful. Please don't market to us. That said, please DO post about your website or offering in the appropriate chat channel so we can give you constructive feedback. You also get a 30% commission on any invites who register for the course :) In the meantime, please introduce yourself in the comments below by answering these questions; • Where are you from? • Which of these emojis matches how you feel about your marketing now?

We're here! Welcome to our world This project is a labor of love that flowed through authentic sharing and caring for friends in these communities. I had been working for large clients including charities, causes, experts, and startup companies but I was billing out at rates my friends couldn't afford. I paused my clients and have built this community, coursework, and presence to support those I love who are working on projects I care about. The first round of Marketing for Spiritworkers had participants from the US, Canada, and New Zealand in all sorts of businesses. We had a jewelry maker and soulcollage facilitator, an oracle deck designer and author, a tarot reader, two dakinis, and some who are still designing their project for the world. We even had another marketing expert join to learn how to market her tantra festival. I learned a lot about what people wanted to hear and learned that I filled the course with a ton of information. Just as I was preparing for the second round of courses I realized that I'd be able to help more people if they didn't need to wait to start. Now, here we are. This site offers so much more than I could have via Zoom meetings. We've got a community so people can connect and continue to learn, we've got the core course and there are more coming! As the site grows and I learn more about what people want to know, I can build more courses targeted specifically at your wants and needs. Thank you for being a part of this process and most importantly, thank you for investing in yourself and the magic you bring to the world!

WHAT IS BLOGGING? So many sites have blogs attached now that it's tough to discern them from anything else. When they first started popping up, blogs were long-form written content with a comment section. The entire site was a blog filled with articles about a specific topic. There was a time when people with even a drop of knowledge about a topic would start a blog for it hoping for fame and big paydays. Some were successful... the ones who were truly passionate about the topic. WHY ARE BLOGS NECESSARY FOR MY BUSINESS? There is one key reason blogs are great and it has to do with your top customer. In our Marketing for Spiritworkers Level 1 course, we learn that your top customer is Google. A blog helps train Google in what content you have. If Google knows, it will serve your website when people search for your product or service. TIP #1: ANSWER QUESTIONS See what I did up there? People search Google with questions. If your blog can answer those questions, you'll be in the running as a search result people may click on. This is far from a guarantee but it helps train Google in the content you have. Specifically, you will want your questions to be bold headers. TIP #2: KEEP GOING You may find that blogging is tedious and takes lots of time. It certainly can. Those pro bloggers I mentioned above would post 10 - 15 times each day of the week. They developed teams of people to help though. One site I love for affordable writers is TextBroker. This site harnesses a huge team of people looking to make extra money through writing content. You can even submit an ongoing order for them to write consistently about a specific topic. You may want to do some minor editing and add your style to the finished product but it's a huge leap forward. Ongoing posts will also tell Google that you're still updating your site. That is important but remember, you don't have to write massive posts (I'm looking at you, recipe sites! Just tell me how to make the brownies!). Even a single paragraph will be helpful.

When I first read about my Human Design I was stunned. Mostly, I was excited to have new language that explained things I sensed but didn't previously have words for. More than anything, this related to my deep dislike of sales. More on that later. WHAT IS HUMAN DESIGN? According to The Jovian Archive (where you can also get your free chart): "With Human Design you discover what makes you different from everyone else. It offers profound insights into your psychology, along with strategies and techniques for making correct decisions and ultimately leading to a life of more ease and fulfillment." Enter your birth date, time, and place to receive a world of information about you. There are larger categories you may fall into and details that are as unique as you are. The amount of information is staggering and it is a lot to take in. MARKETING FROM YOUR STRATEGY & AUTHORITY Each of the 4 main types (and 1 sub-type) within Human Design has a strategy and authority. Knowing and understanding your own can inform how you position, market, and sell your magic. I for instance am a Projector. My strategy is to wait for the invitation. I knew I disliked being on the front-lines of cold-calling strangers and asking them to hire me. This was a beautiful confirmation. My authority is related to the spleen which indicates I feel a deep, embodied sense of which invitations are right and wrong. Ignoring this is dangerous; My best life is found through accepting the correct invitation for me. That's how this site started. It never felt like work for one second. Pay attention to your own strategy and authority. How do they inform the ways you communicate both online and in-person? Can you see any patterned conflicts in your past related to your business? Maybe they're internal conflicts that kept you from starting a business at all! PERSONA DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN DESIGN We talk a lot about personas here. Our Level 1 course covers the basics and goes deeper into why you want them plus a great place to learn more. Essentially, you want to define the archetype of your ideal client/customer and you may have a few. While a Human Design type may not fit into your persona, you can at least have some conversation points for each one as you discuss your offering with people.
