JOYFUL CO. REDESIGN

    OPTIMIZING     GOOGLE   

One of the worries I have in re-branding is that I'm going to lose all of my search engine optimization for Google. But... to be honest... I never really invested a ton of time into it anyway, it was all just what happened naturally. Now with Joyful Co., I'm taking more of a strategic approach to make sure to optimize Google as much as possible to leverage its organic search and paid benefits. 

I'm no expert in Google, so I had with Andy Janaitis from PPC Pitbulls who is. We discussed the launch of Joyful Co and everything I needed to know about Google. And let me tell you, I learned a lot! Instead of keeping this info to myself, I went ahead and wrote an article that walks through everything we discussed.

WEEKLY UPDATES

    CREATE YOUR     3 YEAR     FINANCING PLAN   

Do you have a financing plan to navigate the next few years? I partnered with Keith Kohler to help every founder in our Foodbevy community create a 2-3 year financing strategy including debt, equity, and alternative investments. Keith is our most recommended partner in the community, here's what other founders have to say:

I am so grateful that Jordan and Foodbevy recommended a financial review session with Keith Kohler. As a three-time founder and CEO, I have always felt comfortable with the financials of my business, but I didn't know what I didn't know. Keith introduced me to viable, non-dilutive grants, capital and loans that I never even knew existed! Any CPG owner - or a founder from any vertical - would benefit from a session (or more!) with Keith. - Erica Levin, Globowl
