May 13: Creating a Persuasive Website for Your Freelance Business
You know you need a website for your freelance business, but what should it include? How should it present you and your services? And, most importantly, how can it be better at turning visitors into paying clients? The answer is less about what your website says and more about how persuasively it says it. Persuasion is a journey: from understanding your prospective client to creating a positive feeling in them to earning their trust. People will only hire you if they trust you, and your website plays a huge role in building that relationship. In this 90-minute webinar, you’ll learn five ways to add persuasion to your website, see how high-converting websites work their magic, and walk away with a plan to put your website to work.
