·Cohort-based Course
Take the website you have today and turn it into a content-rich powerhouse that drives your most exciting business goals.
Course overview
In today's world, 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 transform it from ordinary to outstanding.
01
This course is perfect for freelance writers who are comfortable writing content, but their sites lack a strong business strategy.
02
It's also a great fit for entrepreneurs who want to strengthen their thought leadership to support their business goals.
03
If your website needs to do a better job attracting and nurturing the right clients and customers, this course will help
Communicate a clear business focus
Most sites don't drive business goals because they lack focus. Deciding on your key messaging takes some real discipline.
You'll get in-depth coursework to unearth your messages — as well as private coaching time with Sonia Simone — to walk you through those essential decisions.
Make an amazing first impression
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.
Publish the right content (not too little, not too much)
"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.
Master the "10% brag"
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.
Build the "path to client"
Just like big brands build a "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.
Find new clients without tears
Prospect 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.
BONUS: Dedicated time to implement
The course sets aside dedicated time to get the assignments done in a supportive group setting.
You'll also get six months of access to our implementation group, including flexible coworking and quick weekly goal-setting and end-of-week accountability calls.
BONUS: Workshops on content strategy
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.
BONUS: Two private sessions with Sonia
The 2023 version of the course includes two private coaching sessions with Sonia.
The first is to set your goals and priorities for the program. The second is for any troubleshooting you may need along the way!
BONUS: Feedback on your site
Our updated course includes in-depth feedback on your site!
When you're ready for feedback, Sonia will personally prepare a detailed report, so you know what's working and what still needs some adjustment.
You'll have a full calendar year to submit your site for feedback.
