Breakthrough Brand Podcast - Online Business Growth, Website Design Strategies, Grow a Podcast, Motherhood and Business, Passive Income, Christian Faith, Showit Templates

Relatable, raw and tactical business trainings to keep you moving towards your big goals. I’m Elizabeth McCravy — a website designer and business strategist for female entrepreneurs. And, I’ve built a multiple six-figure web design business while in my early and mid 20s. I believe that how to build a thriving business shouldn’t be a secret. So, I’m here to pull back the curtain of all things successful business building. I'm a Christian business owner, a toddler boy mama (with baby #2 on the way), and I'm married to my high school sweetheart. I design and sell Showit website templates over at elizabethmccravy.com. I teach fellow brand and website designers how to build an in-demand business in my course and coaching program, Booked Out Designer. And, I've been a podcaster/content creator for years now. I also do real estate investing and my husband and I own 5 long-term rental properties! I believe in working smarter, building wealth through scalable income, and building your business around your LIFE... not your life around your business. On this podcast, you’ll find solo episodes that are tactical, actionable, and easy listening! And you’ll find expert guest interviews and lifestyle-related episodes too. Let’s build a business that feels amazing on the inside and also looks great from the outside. We’re talking online marketing, brand and website design, podcasting, faith, motherhood, productivity, systems, growing a team, business strategy, and so much more! It’s time for you to build a breakthrough brand!

Today’s episode is inspired by a question I got over and over again in my audience survey last year because a lot of you guys are like me. You are a personal brand business or other type of business but you are not a ministry, and what you do may have literally nothing to do with your faith on paper, but you ARE a Christian business owner and your faith is an important part of who you are and how you show up in the world. It also i...

What makes a great website? What makes a dud? 

Besides all the obvious things like don’t make your text too small, don’t use 1,000 fonts at once, and things like that… What are the major keys?! 

No matter what you do in your work, if you have a website, you should be asking yourself these questions. Today I’m sharing 3 things that I consider TOP things to making a great website, and people often miss them.

Are you looking to grow your email list this year? Quizzes have a MUCH higher conversion rate than the typical lead magnet, and in this episode, I'm walking you through EXACTLY how you can create one for your business!

I've been creating quizzes since the beginning of 2018, so over five years now. Since then, I've made new quizzes, revamped quizzes, and helped other business owners make quizzes for their bus...

I posted a reel on Instagram all about a week in the life with my schedule in the last year and a half as a working mom who owns a business but works part-time from home. Today, I want to expand on what I explain in that very short 90-second clip to tell you more of the nitty-gritty details about what my week is like running my business, taking care of my son, recording this being very pregnant, and how my team and my husband fit i...

In this episode, I’m teaching you how to create a launch debrief for your business. If you’re not 100% clear on what I mean by this - don’t worry! We’ll talk about what it is, why you should do one, all the STEPS, and I even have a new resource to share with you — a ready-to-go Google Doc template of my ACTUAL launch debrief process that you can use as your starting point! 

Whether you’re just getting started and debriefing your fir...

Have you ever wondered if you could run your business without Instagram? Thinking about a social media detox? How much time would you get back? How would it affect things like your revenue, your website traffic, and your overall visibility as a business owner? What other marketing tools would you use instead of social media? 

As someone who uses Instagram a lot in my marketing, I'm like the rest of us in that I have d...

Today, I’m sharing three ADVANCED podcasting strategies - one for show growth, one for boosting efficiency, and one for making money for your podcast. Sounds pretty good right? Honestly, it was SO hard to narrow it down to just one tip from each category because I really do have SO many that I share inside Podcast Success Blueprint (which the doors are officially open to, if you’re reading this in real time, until February 2nd!).

Even on mainly solo podcasts like mine, guest interviews are so important, not only for your show growth, but also just for giving your audience someone else's perspective. Not to mention - it gives you a break from being the brains behind all the content in your business. Podcast guest interviews are also a fun and exciting way to meet other people, network, make strong connections, and potentially even make lifelong friendsh...

In this episode, I am sharing THREE of my favorite scriptures lately that I think are really encouraging as we start new as business owners this year. Whether you’re still setting goals or are just feeling called to be more attuned to God as you make decisions in your business, I hope these verses will be encouraging to you (in January when this airs, and for the rest of the year). I’m not just reading the Bible verses...

Today, I’m sharing ALL about team vision meetings. I rarely hear people talking about this, but personally I've found it be incredibly impactful in my own business. So, naturally, I wanted to share it with you all!

What I mean by team vision meetings is a gathering to kick off the year, close a year, start a new quarter, or even halfway through the year. It's where you lay out the exact direction...

A new year means it's a great time to make some tweaks to your website.

These three things can be done in less than five minutes (and this episode is less than 10 minutes!). So it’s SUPER ...

Before diving into the goals for the coming year, I always like to take a moment to reflect on the previous year. It's time to evaluate what worked, what didn't, and relive the best memories. In this episode, I want to take you along on this journey, sharing TWO very practical business lessons I learned in 2023 and tips for taking what I learned to help you grow your business in the new year.

In this episode, I’m sharing all about having a word of the year for your business! I've alluded to having a word of the year (I actually had THREE words of the year) on the show many times so if you're a regular listener, you've heard me talk about this already but today I’m sharing WHAT those words are, why I picked them, why this matters, and how you can do the same!

This episode is a recast from 2022, aired at the same time of year last year. You guys loved it then, and I loved it too! It was such a fun episode to record. I just finished listening to the whole thing on a walk before I re-recorded the intro. I decided to re-air it because it's as relevant now as it was a year ago. Let's talk about what this episode is and then dive right into it.

Today, I’m sharing my TOP tips to getting yourself a new website my new years instead of letting that website template you bought sit on your virtual shelf. After 5 years of selling Showit templates - there have been some recurring themes between those that get their website up FAST (like within days!) and those who take many months to make their site live.

As a designer, I absolutely love talking about SEO, and I incorporate SEO strategy into every template and website I design. It might surprise you, but before you even input your own information, a website template can already be SEO-friendly or be a disaster that you'll have to fix later. While most SEO strategies are implemented after you customize the template with your own content, images, and SEO settings, there are certa...

We all have those days where we reach the end and think, "Wow, that was an awesome day!" Or maybe it's more like, "Wow, that day really sucked. I'm ready for a fresh start tomorrow." Often, we just move on without asking ourselves what made the day good or bad. We might acknowledge it if something big happened, but we often miss the opportunity to appreciate the small but amazing days.
