Course Buying Confessions, a Podcast Revamp, and Some New 9 Grids

A way for authors to be on social without being on social

I made a super fun 9 Grid for my client Kate Spencer.

She’s written a few romance novels. And since I usually work with online business owners it was really fun to get out of my comfort zone and create something so fun!

Her carousels are so freaking cute! I created these little collages for the romance tropes and I’m in love with them!

Her static 9 grid was the compromise she and her publisher came up with so she could be present on Instagram without actually having to log in and participate fully.

How to deal with getting duped in online business

I also re-released an old recording for Zoom meeting I hosted where everyone shared about the things they’ve bought in online business that they kinda wish they hadn’t.

If you have any shame around things you’ve bought, you might wanna listen.

It could be cathartic.

And if you want to avoid buying more things because of marketing trickery, check out my Before You Buy Robot Buddy. He’s cool and helps you slow down before grabbing your wallet!

And speaking of podcasts, I also revamped this one! I added a free tier to The Playhouse and we’re calling those folks “Friends of The Playhouse” so I had to rename the podcast to The Playhouse Collective Podcast.

When you shoot from the hip and run your business like I do with tons of experimentation and quick action, sometimes you gotta tweak things midway through.

I think it’s totally ok, and I’ve learned to just go for it and trust the process.

Also… gotta slip into this that I would love to hang with you in The Playhouse if you wanna be one of our friends too!

Cleaning up my systems and making my business easier

And speaking of The Playhouse and the new free tier – I also switched over to just running everything over in Heartbeat.

I was doing a weird hybrid where folks paid in Thrivecart, and were added to Kit through Pabbly and then landed in Heartbeat. Jeez… it hurts my brain just typing all that!

It’s all cleaned up now and I’m excited to just have one place!

The queen of dog enrichment has a new set of 3 Pinned Posts

Tori Mistick of Wear Wag Repeat was ready for a fun new look at the top of her grid.

She’s focusing more on Dog Enrichment and her new podcast, so she wanted a very clear intro at the top of her Wear Wag Repeat Society Instagram.

If you have a podcast, a membership, or a second Instagram account for anything that you don’t need to use all the time, 3 Pinned Posts is the perfect way to make sure visitors know what you do and where to go!

I’m gonna start publishing these round ups when I can, cause I love sharing what I’m up to.

It’s a great way to keep me accountable and brag about my awesome clients!

I’ll also share podcasts I’m on and just cool stuff I find. If you want them to come straight to your inbox, I’ll be linking them in my emails too, so sign up if ya want!

Ok, see ya next time!
