You are NOT required to watch or use all of these, but you'll find plenty of good stuff here if you take the time. I have put them in order with the most important ones first!

WEBSITE CONTENT GUIDE
From your Home Page to your Contact Page, this content guide will take you through tips for each core page of your website as you begin to write.

STORYBRAND AUDIO INTRODUCTION
This is a great audio file to listen to before you write your content to help you think about effective messaging

SECURE SEND LOGIN INFO
Need to send me login info? If you're looking for a great tool to manage All your passwords, I recommend LastPass. Or, if you just want to send it securely a few times - use the quickforget.com tool found here. Please do NOT send me sensitive info in a plain email!

WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
I highly recommend Termageddon for your site privacy policy setup. It will automatically update for you as online privacy laws evolve. If you use the link below you can use the coupon code DOULA for a 10% discount. Annual pricing is $119/year (before discount). This is HIGHLY recommended for your site's legal protection as you collect client data.
