Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthWhat is Marketing *Really*?We run ads for everything under the sun, and we have for a long time. Something we did very early on was making a conscious decision to not look at the comments on ads because sometimes there are just troll-type comments, and we don’t need to leave our headspace there. Funnily enough, Abagail’s husband is our ad comment moderator, so it is very rare for us to see a negative comment. But, for some reason, the other day, Emylee was scrolling one of our new Creative Template Shop ads, which is so beautiful and cute. The ad cont...2021-05-2537 min

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthThe One Surprising Change We Made to Our Signature Program That Dramatically Changed Student's ResultsQuarantine gave Abagail every excuse to drop any kind of consistency around movement, and now, a full year later, she is trying to get back at it.

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthMarch 2021 Profit Report: Why We Now No Longer Want to Hit Our Profit GoalWe always knew there would be this moment where, after doing these profit reports, we would eventually hit our goal, and then we would have to have the conversation about what’s next for us. We alluded to it a bit last month, where we had our first loss in over a year, but no part of Abagail was concerned. It sounds bizarre, but we really stuck things out, made some subtle shifts, and March went fantastically. What a concept! We had a loss and didn’t let it linger in our brains for months on end, which, in turn...2021-04-2744 min

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthNegotiating Brand Deals, Dangerous Contract Terms and Changes to Social Media that Effect Your BusinessThis is another one of those episodes where Abagail puts Emylee on the spot in front of the audience. She knows nothing and is expected to come up with something on air. For context, we started our business as creative entrepreneurs and designers and all that. What we did not realize we were doing at the time was influencing people. We started this blog, we were putting out content, and ultimately, a large portion of our business has become what we would call affiliate marketing. It makes up a big percentage of what we are doing. So, Abagail has...2021-04-0645 min

This conversation has come up multiple times with a good friend of ours who you all know, Jessica Eley, and in Emylee’s maker community as well. Abagail and Emylee have also had this conversation between themselves over and over, and with their students too, so it is something that definitely affects many people.

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthRestock Models, Launch Strategies and Growth Tactics for Your Product Business with Rachel Allene & Mia Graves of Honey Bee ClayToday, we have two of our good friends and product-based business gurus on the show. First up is Rachel Allene, who Abagail met years ago at a creative entrepreneur conference. They have stayed friends, and Abagail has watched her hand calligraphy business grow into what it is today.

We are so excited to hear from her because we love the way her marketing and business brain works. She makes polymer clay earrings...2021-02-0454 min

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthGetting out of a Creative Funk, Overwhelm and ComparisonitisEmylee is back from a much-needed break, but now she feels like she has forgotten how to do her job! Getting back into business mode with Boss Project is also different from returning to her side hustle, since the more creative tasks use another side of the brain. It got her thinking about overwhelm and taking breaks and thought it’s high time they did an episode on honoring your creative process. Abagail, on the other hand, is in the middle of a big house move and, as they both want to take a break over December, they find th...2020-12-0838 min

We have so many thoughts and ideas around this and think there are a lot of very strong opinions about what you should and should not do and so we just want to put a disclaimer at the top of the whole episode to say, “You do whatever you want, and that’s okay!” Nevertheless, we want to have thi...2020-08-2543 min

Strategy Hour | Online Marketing for Business GrowthMigrating from Squarespace 7.0 to 7.1 (and a mini Shopify update)Emylee recently decided to migrate from Squarespace to Shopify for her side hustle website, which got Abagail questioning hers too. She had some issues with Squarespace but she didn’t want to go through the hassle of moving from one platform to another. But since then, Squarespace has released its 7.1 version which is not quite an iteration because it is almost an entirely new platform. Some aspects have remained the same but mostly it is different. Abagail has gone through the process of comparing 7.0 to 7.1, so, in this episode, she walks listeners through the differences so that, sho...2020-05-2140 min

Because, as you may know, she isn’t stuck in her ways at all…But before she shares her news, we have to state upfront that Abagail is going to be fulfilling the role of devil’s advocate on today’s show, poking holes in Emylee’s gutsy decision to switch from Squarespace to Shopify. We’ve been using the former since 2014 and we’ve been incredibly loyal, building our entire business on this site. At one point we considered having the site customized becau...2020-05-0741 min

Indeed Abagail spent much of her youth watching the Oprah as soon as she was old enough. One thing she didn’t realize though was that in all Oprah’s years of her show, she focused so much on everyone else’s story that one rarely heard about her personal life. Oprah protected her personal life for a lot of reasons but Abagail had an opportunity to spend some time with her recently, which sounds unbelievable but it's tru...2020-02-2749 min

This past year, Abagail’s word has been “react”. She worked hard at learning to process her emotions in healthier ways and to not overreact to situations, trying to find that delicate balance between allowing yourself to feel the feelings but also not letting them guide your decision-making. Emylee, on the other hand, wanted to approach this year with “ease”, knowing that she had many changes ahead, such as moving house and figuring out childcare. What she learned...2019-12-1727 min

You might be a photographer, fine artist or wedding planner but do not necessarily have to expertise when it comes to your branding — that’s a set of skills entirely on its own.
