How to use Link Triggers in ConvertKit to Allow Subscribes to Skip Registration Pages

Today I want to teach you how to use link triggers in ConvertKit to make things crazy easy for already-existing subscribers. Obviously there are 1.493723 billion things you could use a link trigger for so this is just an example.

Let’s say you’re hosting a webinar and you want to send an email to your list telling them about it and asking them to sign up but because they’re already on your list (aka, already given you their email address, name, etc) they could really skip the whole sign up page thing.

Automation FTW: How to Streamline Trello to Get EVEN MORE Done

So, this ain’t your first Trello rodeo.

 

You have Abagail and Emylee’s boards. Your business is insanely organized. You spend your days doing the things and moving the cards to the right, to the right.

 

Like Beyonce on opposite day.

 

Anyway, you spend most of your day in Trello and love it that way. But is that really a good thing?

 

I mean, I get it.

 

The app is a-mah-zing for planning and organizing, and that stuff is so important. But you need to focus on the doing, not just the planning and organizing, so maybe you need to find another way to get that stuff done.

How to Work with a Newborn

In preparation for working from home once we our babe was here, I did a lot of Googling. I mostly found articles that said stuff like “work while she sleeps!”, “time block your tasks!” or “don’t expect to do anything for at least 4 months!”. I hated all of that advice.

First, let’s get real for a second. I’m freaking napping while she sleeps (especially in the early days) or staring at her or hosting yet another person who has chosen to stop by to meet her. The thought of hammering out a blog post at that time was laughable

How to Use Leadpages to Add Hundreds of New Subscribers to Your Email List Every Week

Looking back on our investments over time, we actually purchased Leadpages long before we even started paying for an email service provider. For some that may seem goofy, but for us it was strategic. With the power of Leadpages we have been able to grow our list by thousands and it didn’t take any technical knowledge to make it happen.

Before I jump into how to set up my favorite aspect of Leadpages, let me first tell you about the different options available to you right out of the box.

How to Create Auto Replies for Social Media

Goodness gracious, I have an easy one for you today girl (I’m resisting every inclination I have to say “that’s what she said” right now).

We’re all running a rat race when it comes to online business, or it feels that way, anyway, #amIright? Something that I find SO overwhelming is direct messages on various social media platforms.

You’re getting hit with a PM on Facebook and a DM on Instagram and all the other kinds of “M”s on other platforms and you just don’t know what to do about it.

Well, I’m about to make your life about 42% better (statistic pulled completely out of my head).

How to Prep Your Business for Maternity Leave

So you spent your energy, a shiz load of time, and a whole lotta hope on creating a business with no borders. The idea was that you get to live the dream and work from home, on your own schedule, with just you as boss. You get to take coffee dates, sleep in, work late and have more flexibility than Simone Biles. You also know there’s some wiggle room for when you decide to bring a baby into the mix…..but how do you actually prepare for that?

When I was preparing our business for my own maternity leave people kept saying, “You can’t ever prepare for a baby.” Even though that’s true with regards to your little human, I wholeheartedly disagree when it comes to your business. You don’t have to go into your leave (whether it be for a baby, a sabbatical or time off for health) blind. In fact, you can go into it with a solid blueprint and business manual for how things will run while you’re away.
