It's almost 2022, and you don't just need a website. You need a powerfully authoritative flagship.
And honestly ... most sites miss the mark.
If your site is stuck on "Just OK," it's easier than you might think to go from average to amazing.
This course is perfect for freelance writers who are comfortable writing content, but their sites lack a strong business strategy.
It's also a great fit for entrepreneurs who want to strengthen their thought leadership to support their business goals.
If your website needs to do a better job attracting and nurturing the right clients and customers, this course will help
For our initial cohort in this workshop, you'll work alongside Sonia as she launches her next content flagship site.
You'll go behind the scenes and see how an authority site gets put together, and be able to use the same strategies yourself.
There are a handful of points on your website that can make or break your first impression with potential clients.
We'll walk you through the pages that absolutely must be on your site, and how to make them exceptional. And you'll get a strong draft done ... in real time.
"More content" tends to be a writer's first answer when building their site out.
But it's not a matter of more ... it's a matter of getting the right pieces onto your site, and putting them in the right positions.
Does talking yourself up make you queasy? We have a fun, easy process that Sonia calls "10% brags."
You'll use them to talk about your most impressive accomplishments ... without making yourself look like a windbag.
Just like big brands build a "path to path to purchase," we're going to put together your individual "path to client."
Your site will become a place where clients learn how much they want to work with you ... and exactly how to move forward.
Outreach is one of the most important aspects of an authoritative site ... but most site owners ignore it.
Why? Because it feels hard!
We'll give you simple templates and frameworks that will help you expand your network and pipeline.
Our implementation framework is unlike any online course you've ever taken. You'll get six months of group focus sessions that provide a powerful, proven structure for creative productivity.
Sonia leads all of the North American sessions personally.
This workshop includes two bonus on-demand workshops on strategic content creation.
These will unlock after we've completed our live sessions. That keeps them from distracting us while we work together on your content flagship.
Sonia was a co-founder of Copyblogger Media, and served as Chief Content Officer there for 10 years. In that time, she wrote about 1.3 million words (that's about 25 business books!) Her popular MOOC has taught more than 250,000 students the power of strategic content marketing, with a 96% approval rating.
Now she focuses her time on smaller, more intimate groups, to be able to deliver even more profound results.
01
This session will get us energized and ready to build, with an exploration of the key concepts and some creative freewriting. We'll dive into your key messages with fun and creative exercises that we work on together.
We'll also make a flexible plan for keeping your project on track ... so you end up with a polished site you love.
02
This is where we'll go over the critical structures that make sure your flagship serves your goals. And we'll learn about an easy tool you can set up that will be hugely helpful when it's time to promote your site.
We're going to make a couple of big decisions for your flagship today. Don't worry, you can update them later, if you like!
03
This is where we'll really dive into the specifics of your message. We'll do some powerful exercises to uncover your content fingerprint and find your core message. Then we'll work on making that message memorable and consistent, and we'll start to populate your content universe with it.
04
Now that you have a unique and memorable message, we're going to use it to go find your audience. We'll work on both expanding your professional universe and building the audience of potential clients or customers who want to know more about you.
05
No more "just get something published once a week"! In this session, we'll get off the unending content treadmill, and start assembling the pieces that actually serve our goals. We'll build out a content framework for what we want to achieve, then make a workable plan to get it done.
06
Are clients from another planet? Sometimes it seems that way. This session is all about finding the prospects that become excellent clients, then building the structures that support that relationship.
