Here's what I learned from launching my second digital product

A few weeks ago I launched my second digital product, the Income Tracker Spreadsheets, and I wanted to share my thoughts, observations and lessons learned from this project.

Everything you need to know about permalinks and Squarespace SEO

SEO is an art, not a science, but I've seen many websites get incredible results simply by following a few best practices.

One of the best and easiest ways to improve SEO for your Squarespace website is by setting up permalinks in the best way possible.

Permalinks are also known as URL slugs, and they are one of the factors of good SEO that many people overlook. If they only knew how valuable good permalink structure was, I know they would give it the attention it deserves!

I'm going to introduce you to permalinks (aka URL slugs), explain why they are so important, and let you in on the best practices for setting up permalinks for SEO success.
