Nerding out over content from Abagail and Emylee of Think Creative Collective has been a business mainstay of mine since right about the time I left corporate communications—so getting to chat about copywriting for creatives, calligraphy for brides, and entrepreneurship on their Strategy Hour podcast was a dreamboat moment.

Today, I’m pumped to pass along my episode that just went live over on the Strategy Hour lineup: point of discussion? How to run two business concepts under one brand and one website.

Hit it!

 

How to use one website to run two businesses by Ashlyn Carter of Ashlyn Writes

Do you want to have a business that serves two different people? I get asked a lot how to run two businesses or concepts under one brand, because half my market is creatives, and the other half are the brides we serve through our calligraphy services.

On this episode, I walk through how to navigate your homepage, how to set up your services, products and offerings, and how to manage your social media and your email list if you’re talking to two different audiences. If that’s you, tune into Episode 95 | Using One Website to Run Two Businesses to learn:

  • How I transitioned out of corporate life …
  • Where my entrepreneur journey REALLY began (hint: it wasn’t copywriting—it was doing calligraphy for brides for years) …
  • How I dealt with PTSD from corporate years, and one of the first $29 investments I made and tell others to purchase …
  • Why copywriting is your closing pitcher as a calligrapher or creativepreneur …
  • First steps to tackling an email list …
  • … and more!
