As a dedicated partner to non-profits and small businesses, my mission is to build the capacity of organizations with impactful resources and services. I understand the time and financial challenges directors and owners face. That's why I specialize in providing comprehensive yet affordable writing and graphic design services while providing as many free resources as possible.

A website that is easy for me to manage is key to spending my time on what matters most. Being user-friendly for my audience and clients means they can easily access the resources and services they need to grow.

Woos of WordPress

Everyone told me WordPress was the way to go if I wanted to have a blog for my business. So, I found a course that walked me through building a site. I have provided website updating services to many clients on some of the most popular platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Godaddy, Kajabi), so I consider myself reasonably tech-savvy. But WordPress has always felt overly complicated, time-consuming, and not fun. It took days to set up my site, and I never really understood how it all worked. This means that my website existed so people can find me, but I didn't update it or post new articles as much as I wanted to.

Intro to Podia

After doing some research, I found Podia to host my products and courses. I loved the look and ease immediately. Even more so, I loved that the company is continually innovating and adding to the platform. When email services were added, it was near perfect. The only piece missing was blogging capabilities.

So, I was over the moon when Podia announced they were adding blogging and got on the list to Beta test the new features. Just like everything else in the platform, it has been easy to learn and has pretty much everything I need. I moved over more than a dozen articles in about an hour. More importantly, I'm excited to add new articles to my website regularly. This will help me serve potential and current clients better.

What I love About Podia

This all-in-one platform offers a seamless solution for selling products and courses, hosting a blog, and managing email subscribers, making it an ideal choice for my evolving needs.

Streamlined Experience

One of the primary reasons for my transition to Podia is the platform's commitment to a streamlined experience. Unlike WordPress, where I had to integrate various plugins and third-party tools to achieve specific functionalities, Podia provides an all-encompassing solution.

By consolidating product and course sales, blog hosting, and email marketing within a single platform, Podia simplifies the management of my online presence. This streamlined approach saves time and ensures my audience has a cohesive and user-friendly experience.

Seamless E-commerce Integration

The platform allows me to sell both digital products and online courses effortlessly. With built-in payment processing and an intuitive storefront design, I can create a professional and engaging shopping experience for my customers. The sales pages are not limited to a one-size-fits-all format, so I can add testimonials, graphics, product details, business information and more.

Comprehensive Course Hosting

The platform's course builder allows me to efficiently organize, structure, and deliver content. Podia supports various content formats, including video, audio, and downloadable resources, enhancing the overall learning experience for my audience. I am currently working on setting up my first webinar, another feature offered on the platform.

Email Marketing Made Easy

Podia's recent addition of email marketing tools was a cherry on top of a platform I already loved. It simplifies the process of building and nurturing my subscriber list with features like customizable email campaigns, automated sequences, and detailed analytics.

I can create targeted and cohesive communication strategies by consolidating email marketing within the same platform that hosts my products and courses. This integrated approach enhances my ability to engage with my audience and build lasting relationships without needing to connect with another service.

New Release of the Blogging Platform

Now, with Podia's fully integrated blogging platform, I can cut the cord on WordPress! The built-in blogging features are user-friendly and customizable, allowing me to maintain a consistent brand aesthetic across my entire website. I can focus on creating quality content without the hassle of managing multiple complicated platforms.

Podia may be the perfect fit if you are looking for an all-in-one platform to serve small business owners and/or non-profits!
