4 years ago I was fresh out of college and had hopped on a flight to Germany. But without speaking German, my job options were well… none.
Paige Brunton – Square Secrets Bundle
I had to find a way to work online.
Being a web designer seemed like a decent way to make a great living, all from my laptop.
I just had two problems:
I had never run a business before
I had NO professional web design experience
But I was determined to figure it out and after a LOT of trial and error I started landing projects worth up to $9,000! (And I’d do a couple in a month!)
Finally, I could live life the way I wanted to! I genuinely felt like I’d struck work-life gold.
But I didn’t just want to keep it to myself, I wanted for every girl who has similar dreams and is willing to do the work to have this too!
That’s why I created my step-by-step course, Square Secrets Business!
Your complete Squarespace web design business blueprint!
Business strategy ✓ Marketing plan ✓ Processes ✓ Systems ✓ Confidence ✓
You bring the web design skills and I’ll bring you a complete business game plan that will have you ready to begin working with clients and turning that web designer dream into your full-time job!
Your life before the course:
You’re spending the whole day trying to find clients, doing tons of ‘marketing tasks,’ but at the end of the day, you still feel like you didn’t make any real progress.
You don’t have a game plan of the next steps in place for when you do land a client. You’re secretly worried you’ll totally blow it.
You’re stuck in the comparison game, spending hours looking at other designers and wondering if you really have what it takes.
You’re clueless with setting up and organizing a business. Smooth-as-silk processes and systems? Yeah, those are NOT things you have right now.
Your life after the course:
•You’ve nailed a system for attracting clients, are booked months in advance AND you even started a client waiting list!

•You sit down at your laptop knowing exactly what to do in order to grow your business.
