If you feel like you’re working 24/7, but not making as much as you want...

If you've tried changing niches, changing services, changing from projects to day rates to retainers and back, new automation tools, trendy marketing tactics (each with the purchase of another new course)…
 
If with each new strategy, you find yourself more overwhelmed, burnt out, and plateaued in your revenue, and something’s not working and you can’t quite put your finger on it…

... you are so normal.

I'm consistently making $10K a month! I successfully found my niche and what words speak to them, learned how to market myself in a way that doesn’t feel cringy, instead it feels easy and natural. My clients don’t want to stop working with me once we launch their site! I’ve since landed multiple retainer clients that I LOVE and am booked out for months in advance!

I reached my minimum baseline revenue in just 90 days. I remember listening to Shannon’s training, and it felt like she was speaking exactly to me. Immediately after joining my income started to increase because I started valuing myself and my work and asking for higher prices.

I booked a new client at 5x the rate I was charging before I joined the Web Designer Academy. I have so much more confidence in knowing the value that I bring is worth the price that I’m asking – that has been really big for me.
