00:09:18 Kate Newnham: Ask him how much he makes lmao
00:10:23 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): He was NOT your dreamium client. :p
00:10:24 Amy K Ogden: Thank you so much for sharing that,
00:10:40 Rachel Briscoe: What kind of a person makes a comment like that!
00:10:52 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yes, thank you for sharing!
00:10:52 Lisa Doiron: That is amazing, good for you!
00:11:05 Kate Newnham: It’s like walking by an angry dog. Say “whoa” and keep walking.
00:11:23 Amy K Ogden: Great analogy Kate, love that
00:12:28 Rachel Briscoe: And the presentation is absolutely incredible!!!

00:18:25 Erica Nash: Dreamium Client Design
00:19:59 Laura Kåmark: Thank you @kaila
00:21:10 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Great question!
00:21:22 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): I’ve had the same thought
00:26:45 Janet Hoover: 🤯 I didn’t even think about that….If you have something in the premium pkg make sure there is some version in the other pkgs too
00:27:07 Leigh Scott: LOVE the newsletter !!
00:27:23 Erica Nash: Thanks, Leigh!
00:29:32 Amy K Ogden: Wow! That’s fabulous! Thank you!
00:29:59 Rachel Briscoe: That’s great. It takes all the pressure off!
00:30:06 Kate Newnham: Have you received feedback about it from prospective + current clients?
00:30:10 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): info@heykaila.com
00:30:11 Trish Bovell: really awesome, Kaila
00:30:15 Laura Kåmark: One of my clients emailed me yesterday about a quick change with her zoom and acuity integration. We were driving yesterday so I didn’t respond. Today she texted me, so I let her know that I’m traveling today and will be back in the office tomorrow and will take care of it. (Even though I could go in real quick and change it, I want her to know that requests will take time)
00:30:27 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yep! I just had a client actually email me to see what it was because she loved it so much she wanted to create her own!
00:31:24 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): It also weeds out the ‘I need this in 5 minutes’ clients – lots of the time they will re-email back 20 minutes later and say ‘I figured it out'
00:31:32 Laura Kåmark: I had a client ask before joining my maintenance plan what day I do plugin updates, and I told her that I update once a week, but the days and times change and I’m not able to commit to a specific date and time.
00:31:49 Kate Newnham: I love that Laura
00:31:57 Anchen: Yes same with sending out speaker pitches.😀
00:32:52 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): It totally does
00:33:49 Laura Kåmark: I created an _inboxzero folder and mass dump everything so I can start fresh
00:34:06 Leigh Scott: I try to make a point to not reply same day so I don’t set expectations. Unless it’s urgent.
00:34:40 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): I also occasionally use a boomerang plugin which will let me write the email and schedule it to send later (in case I write it soon after they sent it but don’t want them to have that expectation for every time)
00:34:42 Amy K Ogden: Leigh Smith, I love that perspective too.
00:35:01 Janet Hoover: That’s awesome, Erica!
00:35:02 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yes, exactly Leigh
00:35:32 Kate Newnham: Welcome Mia!!
00:35:33 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Oh yah!! Yay Mia!!
00:35:38 Noelle: Welcome!
00:35:39 Trish Bovell: yay Mia!
00:35:40 Mia Rendon: Thank you!! I’m coming in late!
00:35:40 Janet Hoover: Welcome, Mia!!
00:35:41 Rachel Briscoe: Welcome Mia!!! Yay!!!
00:35:44 Grace: Welcome Mia!!!
00:35:46 Amy K Ogden: Heeeeeyyy!!!
00:35:57 Mia Rendon: Haha thank you
00:36:06 LaShae Dorsey: I'm a big user of boomerang – I only work Tues-Sat and that's when email replies are “sent” but who knows when I wrote them. LOL
00:36:15 LaShae Dorsey: Welcome Mia!!
00:36:22 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yasss
00:36:51 Leigh Scott: Welcome!
00:36:55 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Hahahah Kate
00:37:09 Mia Rendon: Thank you all for being so welcoming!🤩
00:37:38 Amy K Ogden: Kaila, just got your auto-reply, your dog is so cute!
00:38:16 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Thanks! She’s cuddled under the blankets next to me!
00:38:22 Laura Kåmark: @kaila you’re going to have a very full inbox 🤣
00:38:27 Janet Hoover: Awww
00:38:27 Amy K Ogden: So cute!!
00:38:40 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): It’s going to be such a happy looking inbox though! 🙂
00:39:06 Laura Kåmark: Doxie are such a special breed. I grew up with one and now my neighbor has a mini that I walk each morning
00:39:38 Janet Hoover: That’s such a great question and makes sense about not wanting to do DIY
00:41:55 Rachel Briscoe: This is something that I would like to do also to get money in quickly
00:42:12 LaShae Dorsey: What if you had a couple of “style” templates they could choose from in that low level one?
00:44:47 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Or use Jasper
00:44:50 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Or some other AI
00:44:51 Amy K Ogden: That’s why I offer logo/branding. I don’t want to do it but….
00:46:09 Deanna: Could you have it as an add on for all your packages?
00:46:16 Amy K Ogden: Wow, Kaila, never heard of that one. Just looked up Jasper. Hmmm, will have to check that out more a bit
00:47:27 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): I just started using it. It’s obviously not going to be as good as a human – but it’s a quick and dirty way to write copy. I generated 5 blog posts for my husband’s construction company last week in an hour or two. He will still have to go through them but it’s at least 80% there instead of starting from scratch.
00:47:53 Janet Hoover: Interesting, Kaila!
00:48:14 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): And it’s a way for me to offer copywriting in my high end package in the near future before I can figure out the process to use my human copywriter
00:48:30 Amy K Ogden: That’s really cool. I always tend to do best when it’s already written, like when a client sends something I’m always saying, “How about we say this instead.”
00:48:41 Robin Smith: Be careful with Jasper. I've had it spit out some inaccurate info when I tried it. I had to fact check everything and well…would have been less time consuming to write it myself. lol
00:48:45 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): https://jasper.ai?special=h-24Dyl
00:48:53 Amy K Ogden: Nice, I’m at the same point with subcontractors.
00:49:16 Janet Hoover: Same, Amy
00:49:19 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yes, it’s not accurate!
00:49:25 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Like it’s a starting point for sure
00:49:33 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): But you cannot depend on it like you would a human at all
00:49:43 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): It’s not a replacement by any means
00:50:00 Amy K Ogden: Yes, I totally get that. It’s a starting place but still, I think that could be useful.
00:50:18 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): @Amy I’m like you where if it’s started, then I can expand whereas if I have nothing – then I’m just staring at the screen
00:50:20 Amy K Ogden: Don’t worry, Kaila. I won’t come screaming at you for bad copy LOL!
00:50:32 Amy K Ogden: Exactly.
00:50:38 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Oh hahaha…I also know there’s amazing copywriters in the WDA family so stressing that it’s not the same!!
00:51:08 Amy K Ogden: Cool I didn’t know we had copywriters here, that’s good news. I’d love to give some WDA peeps some love if I can
00:51:42 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): @LaShae? Is copywriting still the route you’re going?
00:51:44 Rachel Briscoe: I have some copywriting training am FG Society certified and a long time member of copy school.
00:51:51 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Yes! See! 🙂
00:52:10 LaShae Dorsey: Yes I'm still moving in that direction.
00:52:15 Amy K Ogden: Wow, great! Love these sessions! So much hidden gold. You never know what you’re going to learn.
00:52:19 LaShae Dorsey: Just going through Copy School now
00:52:30 Janet Hoover: LaShae, share your packages 🙂
00:52:37 Rachel Briscoe: LaShae it’s awesome!
00:53:08 Amy K Ogden: Just scrambled to write your names and find you on FB then your websites are next!! Watch out!
00:53:31 LaShae Dorsey: Haha that would be a good thing if they were ready. 😝
00:53:41 Laura Kåmark: Website copy strategy guide?
00:53:48 Kate Newnham: She doesn’t want to write at all…
00:53:54 Robin Smith: I'm a writer but booked up till June.
00:54:07 Rachel Briscoe: @Kate I would do it for less money to get started! We could collab.
00:54:12 Laura Kåmark: Maybe you go through the guide with her?
00:54:33 Kate Newnham: That’s an idea Laura
00:54:47 Amy K Ogden: That was a great questions, Kate. Thanks for going through that. I’m still in my packages too so this was super helpful
00:54:58 Rachel Briscoe: @Amy, agreed!
00:55:00 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): Ditto! Totally helpful
00:56:00 Rachel Briscoe: That’s so helpful Erica
00:56:08 Kaila Anderson | HeyKaila Media (she/her): That’s wild. But totally understandable!
00:56:36 Amy K Ogden: When you say data do you mean analytics?
00:56:48 Erica Nash: Definitely
00:57:40 Amy K Ogden: IS how to keep track of that in the course somewhere
00:57:54 Amy K Ogden: Jumped the gun there
00:59:53 Kate Newnham: Thank you. That’s good to acknowledge for myself.
01:01:24 Amy K Ogden: Fabulous, thank!
01:01:28 Janet Hoover: Good stuff!!
01:01:43 Rachel Briscoe: Thanks Shannon and Erica, thanks everyone 🌸
01:01:47 Kate Newnham: Thank you!!!
01:01:51 LaShae Dorsey: Always amazing!
01:01:51 Amy K Ogden: Bye!
