I'm calling BS


Most marketing advice wasn’t designed for us, Reader - the creatives, the weirdos, the witches, the regular people just trying to build a business to have a nice life!

We’re told to show up in ways that we’ve been taught not to, in places that weren’t designed for us, on platforms run by billionaires who give zero shits about the harm they’ve caused.

Marketing doesn’t feel like just an essential element of running our business, it feels like a compromise.

And when it doesn’t work, we blame ourselves.

You know what, that’s fine because most of it is bullshit anyway.

This is what compelled me to start talking about marketing on the Internet in the first place.

It’s also why I built The Decelerator, my growth marketing program and business accelerator.

Because you never have to “just” do anything when it comes to growing your business.

But! You do need momentum.

Support to take action and keep going when it feels hard.

And flexible structure that yields when life starts life-ing.

✨ If you’ve ever wished for an endless well of motivation to stay in your business when you’d rather burn it down or get a J-O-B, stay tuned.

Registration for the fall cohort is opening soon.

We’ll start October 14 with an audit to find the gaps and opportunities for you to make more consistent sales.

If you’ve already been thinking this is the right time for you to join The Decelerator, click here to register your interest – you’ll get first dibs on one of 10 limited spots in the group.

Of course I’ll be sharing the launch behind-the-scenes and you’ll always have the option to opt out.

In the meantime, I’d love to know what would actually help you take action – templates? Hot seat coaching? Async feedback and reviews? Coworking?

Let me know. I’m always tweaking the program so it’s built exactly for what you need.

Until next time,

Amanda Laird
Growth Marketing Strategist
