In an industry where competition is rampant & audiences are fickle —chasing down YOUR dreams of becoming an author, podcaster, or thought leader who makes a decent living can feel impossible.

That’s where we come in.

We’re your secret weapon to grow your digital presence and build your business.

WE’RE HONORED TO WORK WITH TALENTED AUTHORS & THOUGHT LEADERS

These institutions have published our clients’ work.

There’s never been a better time to make a living as an author, podcaster, or thought leader. #thanksinternet.✨

An enthusiastic audience is all it takes to turn your passion into a paycheck. Simple, right?! 📚🎙️

👥 Followers ≠ Dollars 💰

Sure, having a legion of followers is fabulous and all, but here's the real question - how many of them turn into paying customers? 💸

Did you know that people are 300x more likely to purchase if they find you via Google?

And your audience is 40x more likely to purchase from you if they receive your emails rather than just following you on social media. 💌

Yep, you read those facts right! 💡

That's why, even in the era of likes and shares, having a website and a newsletter is still golden.

WE’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER, BUT….

  • It takes just 2.6 seconds for your audience to judge your website

  • 94% of your audience will judge your credibility based on your website

  • 56% of people don’t trust a brand without a website

You Could Save Hundreds of Hours & Thousands of $$$

Hey, let's talk about this DIY situation. 🤔

Embracing the DIY approach can be enticing – it gives the illusion of being cost-effective, right? But are we genuinely coming out ahead? 🤔

  • It's gobbling up endless hours of our time - it's an obvious truth that ⏰ equals 💰, right?!

  • After all the effort, we're left with no audience growth, wondering where we missed the mark to grow our audience and bank account. 🎯

  • And working on our websites…eh, not that fun. 🙄

Time for a reality check: Is your DIY website project truly a penny saver, or is it subtly leeching hard-earned money, time, and energy? 🚫

And do we think the Internet is becoming, well, passé? Nope?

The Internet is becoming more crucial every single day.  It's high time we claim our spot in this digital world. After all, our audience and our business deserve to thrive.💫

Why not focus on growing your audience and business — all while we take care of the pesky website details.

Powerhouse Strategy is the only full-service digital strategy agency dedicated to empowering authors, podcasters, and thought leaders to work from a place of passion and service by building sustainable online businesses.

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • We get it! Tech is annoying and frustrating. Reach out to us here and we can talk through your issues and options.

  • Social media is the highway, and your website is your storefront. You can engage your audience on socials and direct them to your website.

    Your website is your storefront because it is the most comprehensive showcase of your work and brand. You can use your website to make it easy for your audience to get to know you and buy your books, courses, and products.

    You can also use your website for tasks you simply can’t do on social media. For example, you can use your website to put products such as books, courses, and services up for sale.

    Also, SEO (search engine optimization or when your clients find you through Google search) is 300x as effective as social media in getting clients to purchase your product or service. There’s no way to take advantage of SEO without a good website filled with SEO content so Google knows to send traffic to your website.

    Clients also usually need at least 1-2 months to get their copy, graphics, and photos ready for us to work with.

  • We work with all industries and people! However, we especially love working with writers, authors, speakers, podcasters, coaches, consultants, course creators, and other creative and media entrepreneurs.

    Once you’ve done that, let’s set up a strategy call to develop a plan that works for you.

  • The sooner, the better!

    Ideally, we should work together within 3 to 6 months of your launch. 6 months is ideal if this is your first book or podcast launch; 2-3 months is sufficient for subsequent launches.

    If you’re really pressed for time, we can work together a month before launch, but that’s not ideal because good content takes time to research, develop, and test.
