Making an A+ first impression online is so important as a small business owner, freelancer, or entrepreneur! This free email course is out of this world helpful in improving your website + social media accounts so that you look credible + professional to potential clients and customers.

 

Hello again, friends. šŸ™‚ Since absence makes the heart grow fonder, I just know that right about now you consider me your greatest online love.

 

This month marks the Olyvia.co 1 year birthday —Ā wild, right?! — andĀ to celebrate with you I wanted to create something cool + helpful you could use to refresh your blog + social media accounts + brand reputation (and look 10x more proĀ online).

 

So, for the last 2.5 weeks Iā€™ve been buried in InDesign + Illustrator + MailchimpĀ working (fun, but I missed you!) — andĀ what I came up with is this:

 

A 21 dayĀ freeĀ detox for your brandā€™s online spaces.

 

(Henceforth known as “The 21 Day Brand Impressions Detox” — because I like to make things sound all official like that.)

 

Itā€™s for new and intermediate level bloggers, freelancers, creative business owners, coaches & consultants, solopreneurs, and anyone with a personal brand online whoĀ wants to:

 

 

1. Make certain that their online presence screams “modern” and “professional” — not “dated” or “amateur”

 

2.Ā Do a serious, effective cleaning of their digital spaces so things look bright + clean, not dull or junky

 

3. Get a (virtual) kick in the derriĆØre to take their brand up a notch, and have some laughs along the way (totally at my expense, I assure you)

 

Hereā€™s how to get started:

 

 

THE BRAND IMPRESSIONS DETOXĀ OVERVIEW

 

BelowĀ is a small previewĀ for our 21 days together:

 

DAY 1: Do a brand reputation check + set up alerts

 

DAY 6: Audit product/services page(s)

 

DAY 14: Write a new and amazing intro blurb + pro bio

 

DAY 17: Create an official brand style guide

 

DAY 21: Make an ā€œimpression-orientedā€ social media plan

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

Sign upĀ using the form belowĀ to get the full detox (with all theĀ instructions from me) for free in your email inbox each day.

 

What youā€™ll receive:

 

  • Mini lessons + specific instructions + extra resourcesĀ to help you completeĀ the assignment for each day

 

  • A free Color Codes PDF and Adobe Illustrator file for Day 17

 

  • Free Facebook + Twitter cover templates in PNG and Adobe Illustrator formats for Day 18

 

  • HonestĀ encouragement + cheesy 90sĀ song and TV references (worth it on itā€™s own if you ask me)

 

 

Sound good? You can start detoxing your onlineĀ business or blog right now!

    • Woohoo Kayla! It is so true; I will be doing a lot of these myself over the next 21 days. šŸ™‚ Itā€™s a great summer activity.

  • Awesome! Thank you for offering this for free! Youā€™re awesome. Iā€™m excited to get started šŸ™‚

    • You are so welcome, Nora! Iā€™m glad youā€™re going to give it a shot — plus, Iā€™m here for moral support if you need it. šŸ™‚

  • This is amazing! My goodness, who doesnā€™t need this?! Great material- so generous! Iā€™m so excited to do this! (And I love the color palette, itā€™s so peppy and fresh!)
    xx Sydney

    • Youā€™re so awesome, Sydney. Iā€™m so excited to have you take part! (And tweet me anytime if you need moral support…or just a distraction. Haha. :))

      • Youā€™re the awesome one, Erika! And thanks, Iā€™ll be sure to tweet! Iā€™ll probably need it! šŸ™‚

        • Howā€™s it going so far? šŸ˜€

          • Iā€™m embarrassed to say Iā€™ve fallen behind! But Iā€™ve saved all your emails so I can go back. I absolutely loved your tips on improving your google search results. Iā€™d never thought of those things before, and it has changed the way I think about my website and every bio page or profile! This is a seriously genius detox guide!

  • This is so fab Erika! Thanks for creating this

  • debbielq

    I love this! Itā€™s my kind of detox. I signed up and Iā€™ll be back later to check it all out (on my phone now). Pinned so I wonā€™t forget šŸ™‚

    • So great, Debbie! Iā€™m thrilled youā€™re on board. I hope you find it doable + useful. šŸ™‚

  • Julie Harris

    How fun! I love this entire post (not that I ever donā€™t absolutely love everything you share.) What an excellent group challenge, especially as we move into the second half of the year. I was totally thinking of doing my own personal digital detox, so you definitely read my mind! Your daily steps are so simple and achievable too. Thank you for all the amazing resources!

    • Ha, YES Julie — summer time just feels like the perfect time for a good detox. šŸ™‚ Itā€™s nice to take care of that now while a lot of people are on a slower schedule so when fall hits everything is looking in tip-top shape.

  • Kristine Foley

    Awesome!! Canā€™t wait!

  • What an innovative idea for a challenge! Never would have thought of a brand detox. Loving all the tips in this post and excited to see how the challenge goes!

    • Thank you so much for your comment, Tenns. šŸ™‚ It was fun to create!

  • This is so awesome, Erika! And congrats on the 1-year!! šŸ™‚

  • Woah! Iā€™m impressed…weak from delight! I canā€™t wait to get started on this. Thank you, Erika!

    • Wooohoo, so glad to have you. šŸ™‚ Iā€™d love to hear how itā€™s going for you!

  • Oh my gosh, I need this! Just signed up and canā€™t wait to get started. Thank you!

    • You are most welcome, Meredith. Feel free to tweet me anytime w/ updates!

  • Deana Ward

    Woohoo! As always, you raise the bar Erika (and help us to as well). Thanks! Iā€™m in:)

    • Love it, Deana! You are awesome. Thank you for taking part. šŸ™‚

  • Looove this Erika, Iā€™m definitely going to do this detox. So awesome to add this to my newly re-launched site!

  • Lucy Jane Davies

    Sounds great šŸ™‚ There are so many days that Iā€™m looking forward to but I know my product pages need a review. You know all these things need to doing but it can feel overwhelming - like the idea of ticking off one a day. Thank you!

    • I know exactly what you mean about knowing what needs to be done, but getting overwhelmed by it all. It was my intention that by creating this day-by-day guided detox that we could kick that overwhelm to the curb. šŸ™‚ I sincerely hope this helps you!

  • Epic Erika! You put so much heart into everything you do. This is something thatā€™s really speaking to me right now. Iā€™m feeling inspired!

  • Giiiiiiirl, youā€™ve outdone yourself this time! Super awesome! I think Iā€™m addicted to detoxing my brand and I LOVE IT!!! Plus, I canā€™t resist adult home work. So.

    You rock. The end.

    One of my goals in the next few months is to come up with my own challenge, and this one is really rad! šŸ˜€
