So many great resources here! In one of the initial brainstorming activities, I came up with a list of over 50 topics for new blog posts. And to think I'd been feeling like I had nothing to write about! I loved the practical advice about how to build a blog post, how to find and format photos, and how to share published posts. This course helped me find my footing in the big scary world of blogging, and I'm feeling much more comfortable about publishing content to help my clients and grow my business!
Hi, I'm Darlene.
I’m a business coach who helps birth professionals start and grow their businesses. Though I have a business degree, I didn’t learn how to run a small business until I started one with my husband. After working with him for six years I went off on my own to become a doula, childbirth educator, and business coach. When I first started out in 2007, there weren’t a lot of resources for doulas about starting a business, so with the help of business courses, coaches and a lot of sweat and tears, I figured things out as I built my practice. In 2008 I began blogging on Savvy Doula and later Inspired Birth Pro to de-mystify the process of starting and running a birth business. I continue to share the wisdom I’ve picked up over the years with birth pros like you and hope that I can shorten your learning curve and help you create a thriving business.
Who this is for:
Birth professionals who already have a website, and have their blog ready to go or are blogging sporadically. Best for those with a self-hosted WordPress site. (See FAQs for more info)
Birth professionals who feel comfortable with tech or have ready access to a techy person to help implement changes to their website.
Birth professionals who are itching and ready to write. Like yesterday.
Who this is NOT for:
Birth professionals who don't have a website.
Birth professionals who are intimidated by or refuse to tackle the tech.
Birth professionals taking a spaghetti-on-the-wall approach to building their business and attracting clients. ("Maybe THIS will solve my problem of having no clients.")
The blog challenge was so full of content it's hard to pick my favourite bit but overall the tips and resources for being more organised and the knowledge on how to come up with blog post ideas that are easy to write and interesting to read are the things I've used the most. The hints and tips on good blog photos and how to share what I've written across social media were also really helpful. Darlene is so full of knowledge and so helpful whenever we had questions the whole experience was brilliant.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Boot Camp officially begin?
This boot camp is set up as an online course, so it starts whenever you sign up. It's recommended that after you complete the pre-work, you wait until the following Monday to begin Module 1.
What does Boot Camp look like?
On the day you sign up, you'll get immediate access to the Boot Camp pre-work. You will have access in the course portal to Module 1 the following day, HOWEVER, I recommend you officially start the official lessons on the following Monday. To help guide you, you'll begin receiving emails about the modules the Monday following sign up. If you sign up on a Monday, you'll receive the first lesson email on the following Monday.
New modules will open up seven days after Module 1 is open, and emails for the new modules will be sent each Monday for eight weeks.
Does it matter what platform (WordPress/SquareSpace/Wix/Weebly etc.) my website is on?
You will learn a lot about blogging regardless of the platform your website is on. HOWEVER, while all of the recommendations I make can be done if you have a self-hosted WordPress site (your own domain hosted with your own web host, not WordPress.com), some of them will not be available for websites created on other platforms. Where possible, I've linked to resources with tutorials on how to implement tips for the major website platforms.
Will this program teach me how to build a website?
The Rock Your Birth Biz Blog program is geared to birth professionals whose website is up and running, who have a basic understanding of blogging and who may already have a blog on their site, and who are adept at figuring out tech for their websites. Resources will be provided throughout the program and will require you to implement technical changes to utilize those resources, but tutorials or detailed instructions for these tasks are not given.
Do we get 1:1 access to you?
I'll be available to answer your questions as you go along in the Rock Your Birth Biz Blog Facebook community. You'll also benefit from the knowledge and experience of all the other participants in the program.
What's your payment plan?
The payment plan consists of three equal payments of $59 via credit card.
What if I have more questions?
If you're on the fence, you can reach out to me through my contact page or ask your question in the Inspired Birth Pros Facebook community.
