One of the most common questions I get from business owners is surprisingly simple.

“How many pages should my website have?”

And usually that question comes with a little bit of stress behind it.

Should it have five pages?
Ten pages?
Twenty pages?

Do you need a blog?
A resources section?
Landing pages?

Or maybe you are wondering if your website is too small or too big.

The good news is there is no magic number.

But there is a simple way to figure out exactly how many pages your website actually needs.

And today I will walk you through it.

Have you ever sat down to build or redesign your website… and suddenly realized you have no idea what should actually go on it?

So you start choosing colors.
Maybe picking a theme.
Maybe even hiring a designer.

But the problem with most websites is not the design.

It is the lack of clarity behind them.

Today we are talking about the three things every business owner should clarify before they touch their website.

Because when these things are unclear, the website becomes confusing.
And confusing websites do not convert.

And I will also share one quick test you can run to see if your website already has this problem.

What if I told you that you only need 20 minutes a week to write emails that actually make money?

Not 20 minutes a day.
Not hours of storytelling.

Just 20 focused minutes.

Today, I’m joined by the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing herself, Liz Wilcox.

Liz is an email strategist and keynote speaker who helps small businesses build real relationships and real revenue through email. She’s turned a $9 offer into multiple six figures without ads, sold a blog, and created a simple framework called the Email Staircase that untangles all the confusion around what to send and when.

We’re talking about:

✉️ How 20 minutes a week is actually enough
✉️ What makes a subject line work
✉️ Why she doesn’t teach storytelling the way most marketers do
✉️ And what you’re probably doing wrong in your welcome emails that’s costing you sales

If email has ever felt complicated, overwhelming, or like a chore… this episode is about to make it simple.

You can tell people you’re trustworthy.

You can say you’re experienced.
You can list your credentials.

But online?
Words alone aren’t enough.

If your website doesn’t visually reinforce trust, visitors hesitate. And hesitation kills conversions.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to use visual trust signals to increase conversions without rewriting your entire website.

You’ve probably heard me say this before…

Your website should be your smartest sales tool.

But what does that actually mean?

Because a lot of websites look good.
A lot of websites exist.

But very few actually work.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what separates a brochure website from a smart sales tool… and how to know which one you have.

You’ve probably heard this before:
“You don’t need a website. You just need a funnel.”

Or maybe the opposite:
“Funnels are scammy. Just build a solid website.”

So which is it?

Do you actually need both?

Or is one enough?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real difference between a funnel and a website, when you need one, when you need both, and how to make them work together instead of competing.

It’s one of the most frustrating moments in online business:

You send the email.
They click the link.

And then… nothing.
No sale. No signup. Just silence.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why that happens and how to fix it—so more of your clicks actually convert.

This one’s especially for you if you’re sending traffic to sales pages, lead magnets, or product links—and getting crickets.
