Never find the time to action that big strategic to-do list?
If you’ve got a project that you know needs dedicated time, it can be difficult to focus. The inbox doesn’t slow down because you want it to, and even at times when you have a quiet period, sometimes your brain breathes a sigh of relief and you switch off.
We’re here to help
If you need a day to focus on ‘the thing’, we can help. Communicating over WhatsApp, we’ll
- Prompt you with pertinent questions and ideas
- Look over your work and make suggestions on how it could improve
- Talk you through anything that might be blocking you
- Give you inspiration from what we’ve learnt from speaking to hundreds of indie publishers over the past 8 years
What kind of thing would you like to work on?
We’ve delivered LOTS of training courses and seminars over the years, but sometimes they just add more to the to-do list.
If you’d like to put learning into action, or simply have an idea that you want to move forward with, we can support you to do so.
Maybe it’s
- A new media pack or ad sales strategy
- A newsletter launch or automation flow
- A marketing strategy or content plan
- A membership launch or member benefits package
- Or something else
Maybe you’ve been putting something off, or maybe you want to give it the time it deserves – a Do It Day is here to help you.
FAQs
Q: What timings are you offering?
A: 10am-4pm, with a break for lunch. That gives you time to answer those emails in the morning; and nobody functions well after 4pm.
Q: I can’t take a whole day out of the office, could you spread the session over two mornings instead?
A: Yes that’s fine, it’d be 10.30am-1pm x 2. Once you’ve booked we’ll message you with options for a full day or two mornings.
Q: I’m not in the UK – do you offer the same service on different time zones?
A: Depending on where you, we’re happy to offer the same service at your 10am-4pm, or if the difference is too great, then two morning sessions.
e.g. PST is 8 hours behind the UK for most of the year, so we’d ask you to do 9am-11.30am PST x 2.
Q: My readers come first – what if I need to speak to them during our session?
A: That’s the joy of holding the session over WhatsApp. If you need to go to a meeting, or reply to emails over the day, that’s absolutely fine and up to you. It’s meant to be focused but fluid – so you have the dedicated time, but with the flexibility to work around your life.
Q: I’m not sure what I want to work on, but would love some more general advice about our magazine.
A: We offer one-hour one-to-one meetings either as a one-off session or as part of our Accountability membership tier. If you’d still like to book a Do It Day, we can talk through topics then as part of your overall approach to your magazine.
