Hi Reader! Last week, I was knee deep in a few things:
So I didn't have much spare time. (And the spare time I DID have was spent watching — and yelling at — season 2 of Lost.) But there was sooooomething in the back of my head that I was anxious to address. Sooooomething that kept saying, "but what about me, Kelsey?" with sad puppy dog eyes. And it wasn't my actual puppy — 12-year-old Finn — as he's quite content to spend the day by himself on the couch. No, no ... It was MY WEBSITE. It was craving a redo, a refresh, a zhuzh, it wanted a full-blown GET-YOUR-SHIT-TOGETHER-LADY. Makes total sense. I've been neglecting it lately — something I would absolutely admonish you for doing — and it's, well, time to get my shit together. I, personally, *love* seeing shit get put together, so I thought ... Would you like to come along with me, Reader?! I don't know how I'm gonna show it yet. Or the timeline I'm gonna do it in. Or the wireframe I'm gonna follow. Or the wine glasses I'll have consumed before everything is juuuuuust right. But I know my attention is turning to my website. For the next two weeks, I'd say. (Loosely ... because I really like to cancel things and just stay home.) Here's a quick outline of what I'm fixin' to fix: Strategize my navigation and UX. Right now, I have a few offers going on:
I want to think about *your* journey through my site, and how you interact with those services and figure out which one is best for you. This task will be one of the first things I do because it will dictate everything else. Write sales page for new offer. A sales page offer, actually! The people (maybe you?) are asking for me to take sales pages off their plates. Up until now, though, I've been doing it "under the table." So I've got to get a proper sexy offer page up and running. Update copy everywhere. I'm your favorite copywriter, so I want to give you WORDS. I love a long a sales page (if you're gonna buy something, you want to know about it), so each and every offer is getting a glow-up. Update my inquiry form. It's rather basic right now. And I want a meaningful, but FUN inquiry form. Gonna let some creativity fly. Clean up my SEO. The little stuff — like alt tags and titles and how your pages show up in browser tabs. The stuff I hate to do, but won't hire for. Little bibs and bobs. The ones that will inevitably derail me from everything I just listed. Fun! Whaddya say? Want to come along for a behind-the-scenes website overhaul-ish? If so — GIVE ME YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WEBSITES! You might be wondering things like ...
Hit reply and rattle off your Qs (honestly, I wouldn't hate the accountability). Okay, I'm off to procrastinate on my website now! Much love ✌️ Kelsey |

“30 minutes and we’re OUT.” That’s what I told my partner when he convinced me to come to a new gym. (We’re hanging out in New Mexico for a month and there’s a little place super close to our airbnb. He wants to “take advantage.”) Now, some history: Eight years ago, I was in the gym every day. (I was working nights and had no social life and was able to spend 90 minutes at the gym at 11am Monday – Friday.) I was a hot gym girlie who no one ever saw except for my retired friends who were also...
Well, Reader. Lately, professionally speaking, I have sucked. Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer level of suck. The last email I sent you was six weeks ago. Six weeks is the gestation period of a cat. In essence, domestic cats have been doing more work than I have. (No hard feelings to the unsubscribes that come from this one because “who the hell is this chick again?”) I was hit hard with lethargy, lots of “what is this all for?” glasses of wine, and self-imposed hangovers from the aforementioned...
Pink hair. An adorable accent. Tattoos, jewelry, and bright vintage outfits. She’s not even afraid to show her tummy, which — if I may comment on another woman’s body — is what I would call "normal." (And I’m so RELIEVED by that.) I found her last week. And though she probably doesn’t neeeeeed me to help add to her 893K audience, I do think she might be worth a look if you have the time. Florence Given took over my life (and motivation) last week. I binged and binged and binged. Couldn’t look...
