00:07:34 LaShae Dorsey: I have to remind myself to listen to Shannon All. The. Time. and then do what she said to do!!!! Learning to trust the process.
00:07:55 Nay Stevens: Gorgeous site Lori!
00:08:27 Lori Reeves: Thank you Nay!!
00:10:22 Cory Peterson: My eyes too! 😳
00:14:17 Cory Peterson: Sorry – had to take a call
00:14:32 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I’m finishing up this website this week: https://justine-cohen.com/
00:16:15 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: That’s what I was talking about… I threw A LOT of spaguetti at the wall this year… So overwhelming!! But some things stuck!
00:17:04 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I should wrote a post about all I have done and what worked and what didn’t…
00:17:24 Nicole Bartholomew: If you do, can I read it, please? LOL
00:17:39 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Nicole, yes, of course.
00:18:53 Kate Newnham: Question (if there’s time): I just had a call with a WIX marketplace rep and they send you leads, but the average agency/freelancer charges $1,250 for a full 5-page website including copywriting. This seems really low to me, but you can upgrade. This doesn’t seem in line with what you’re teaching about offering more $$, but it’s a 33% shot of getting each client they send you. What are your thoughts, if any, on that?
00:20:41 Cory Peterson: Throw that spaghetti Kate!
00:20:52 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I know a Wix designer and she has mentioned that, too. Wix designers don’t charge much because the perceived value is not so high (sorry … )
00:21:11 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: What she does is start from templates, and she does day rates, so she IS profitable
00:22:24 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: She charges like $1,000 for a day rate where she creates a whole website in a day. But you need to have really on point processes, etc.
00:27:20 Nicole Bartholomew: Sadly, I have to run for 30 mins. I have a client until 4. Is this recording in the resources somewhere to finish watching it later?
00:27:58 Cory Peterson: Nicole – the replay will be available tomorrow (I think)
00:28:21 Nicole Bartholomew: THANK YOU!!! It was amazing to meet you all!
00:28:26 Cory Peterson: You too!!
00:30:09 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I just joined an amazing networking group and it has been the fastest ROI of EVERYTHING I have done. It’s focused on referrals, referring each others. Lots of different kind of business owners. I have attended 2 networking events on Zoom with breakout rooms, and I have already 2 consultations. I wasn’t even trying to sell anything, just talking about what I do.
00:30:28 Cory Peterson: Tell us more Mariela!
00:30:41 Lori Reeves: I’m curious about this, too, Mariela!
00:30:57 Leslie Zemenek: Me too
00:31:43 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Registration is closed now, it will open up in January again. If it’s ok with Shannon, I can post my affiliate link soon (I don’t have one yet)
00:32:03 Cory Peterson: Yes, please keep us posted!
00:32:10 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I will
00:36:45 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Hard work
00:38:47 Kate Newnham: Thanks @Mariela and @Cory!
00:42:00 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Question for the group: Do you use Canva elements for your websites? Like icons, graphics, or images? I have read the rules many times and even reached out to Canva, and it should be fine, but every time I use an element I feel like I might get in trouble…
00:42:15 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: (I have Canva Pro)
00:43:03 Wendy Coop: @Mariela – I only do so for my own site. I use sites like Pexels, Unsplash, and Deposit Photos (paid) for everything else.
00:43:57 Singleton, Alanna: I use Canva @ Mariela
00:44:14 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Thanks, Wendy and Alanna.
00:44:24 Cory Peterson: I have something I could share
00:44:38 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Sometimes Canva elements are so beautiful, I can’t find anything better…
00:46:30 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Do we have a tutorial for that in the WDA? (for assessments)
00:46:34 Kate Newnham: Canva is amazing
00:47:09 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Ohhh… the Website Health Assessment..
00:47:53 Lori Reeves: Did people take you up on it when it was free, Cory?
00:48:58 Lori Reeves: When people pay, they pay attention. Get them started on something low ticket and then you’re the person they want to continue with.
00:49:32 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Have you heard of tiny offers? It’s the same principle!
00:50:11 Lori Reeves: That’s right Mariela!
00:50:16 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: I see her ads all the time… https://alliebjerk.com/tiny-offers/
00:50:33 Lori Reeves: I’ve been warned against hiring that particular person, though. Just FYI
00:50:45 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Oh.. really.. Intersting..
00:50:58 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Thanks for sharing Lori
00:50:59 Lori Reeves: Yep. Strongly warned, actually.
00:51:02 Lori Reeves: You’re welcome!
00:51:03 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Wow
00:57:02 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Should I wait to go through the WDA then?
00:57:58 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com/week: Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the Us!
00:58:01 Singleton, Alanna: Thank you Shannon!
