00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.260
Hi, welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:34.539
Today I wanted to talk about website platforms and your SEO.
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:42.130
This is a question I get a lot, especially from my students, Rachel, which website platform is the best for my SEO?
00:00:42.370 --> 00:00:50.590
Before I get into this, before I start doing SEO, before I start creating more content, do I need to move my website to a different platform?
00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:54.010
In most cases, the answer is no.
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:57.429
You don't need to move your website to a different platform.
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:01.914
If you're on showit, Kajabi, Squarespace, WordPress.
00:01:03.804 --> 00:01:05.634
I don't know which other ones.
00:01:05.634 --> 00:01:07.855
Those are the main ones, Shopify, et cetera.
00:01:08.245 --> 00:01:11.064
Those are all ones that you can do SEO on.
00:01:11.335 --> 00:01:19.495
In my experience, the only one I found that really had an issue with SEO was the GoDaddy website builder, and it's possible that they've updated it.
00:01:19.495 --> 00:01:28.944
I haven't looked at it in the past couple of years, but it was one where you could not do SEO on the site, but the majority of the ones that are available today are.
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:30.210
SEO Friendly.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.530
They are ones that you can optimize, you can customize, you can do what you need.
00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:49.049
So rather than worrying about, am I on the wrong platform, I want you to instead focus on learning how to optimize for the platform that you're on, because the thought of moving from one platform to another is actually.
00:01:49.674 --> 00:01:52.284
A very serious, sizable undertaking.
00:01:52.284 --> 00:01:57.864
It's not something that I want you to do, just because you think that the one you're on isn't the most ideal.
00:01:57.864 --> 00:02:03.625
From an SEO perspective, it's something that if you really need to make a change, you really don't wanna be on Squarespace.
00:02:03.625 --> 00:02:05.185
You really do wanna move to Kajabi.
00:02:05.185 --> 00:02:11.335
You wanna go to go high level, you wanna go to show it because of features that that platform has.
00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:16.579
Great, but don't think that you need to do it just to be able to do SEO.
00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:26.480
Sometimes when we get focused on things like I need to change the platform before I do SEO, that's actually our nervous system.
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:26.865
Like I.
00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:34.900
Getting scared and so wanting to stay busy by focusing on something that feels less scary than like learning SEO.
00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:35.770
It's kind of interesting.
00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:41.949
I've been learning a lot about how our nervous system impacts us as entrepreneurs, and I found that to be fascinating.
00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:43.060
It's that busy work.
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:51.310
It's staying busy doing things that aren't really moving the needle so often when we're thinking about, I need to change this, or I need to redesign my website.
00:02:51.590 --> 00:02:55.099
It's not actually what's going on, it's that something inside of us is scared.
00:02:55.099 --> 00:03:00.469
So maybe take a minute, take a deep breath, ask yourself what is it that you're afraid of doing?
00:03:00.469 --> 00:03:03.349
What is it that you think you need to do differently?
00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:07.370
And then like, what is the one next thing that I could do?
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.159
So what's the one thing if I just started with one thing?
00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:16.729
So for you, let's say you're gonna stay on the platform you're on because now you understand you don't need to change.
00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:20.390
The platform that you're on is absolutely fine for SEO.
00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:27.400
So now what we wanna do is to look at how can I start to optimize my site without getting scared.
00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:29.770
So choose one keyword.
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:31.000
Let's start with your homepage.
00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:37.629
Your homepage is honestly the easiest page to focus on because in most cases, your keyword for your homepage is gonna be your business name.
00:03:38.890 --> 00:03:40.150
Let's make it super simple.
00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:58.729
If you service a local area, let's go ahead and also use that local area, that city or town or city and state, depending if you're in a situation where like there's two cities with your name, there's one in your state and there's one in another state, then you might wanna go ahead and include the city and state both.
00:03:59.525 --> 00:04:01.474
But let's optimize that homepage.
00:04:01.474 --> 00:04:06.814
Let's just get it started, because that's gonna make it easier and it's gonna make everything else feel easier for you.
00:04:07.055 --> 00:04:08.645
So start with your business name.
00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:16.750
You're gonna create a title tag and a meta description with your business name as the key words, so you can do that.
00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:21.310
Your title tag should be a maximum of 60 characters, including spaces.
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.889
Your meta description should be a maximum of 160 characters, also including spaces.
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.840
Then I want you to make sure that you've used your keyword, meaning your business name or your name.
00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:33.610
If you're like a coach or a consultant.
00:04:34.404 --> 00:04:41.995
And if you are a local business, you've used your location information also in the first paragraph of your copy.
00:04:42.414 --> 00:04:47.485
This is important because it helps Google Bot, it helps ai, it helps all of that.
00:04:47.485 --> 00:04:53.605
It also helps the customer to know that this is the website, I found the right place.
00:04:53.634 --> 00:04:55.429
It is servicing this local area.
00:04:56.455 --> 00:05:01.975
And then you'll want to potentially use your keyword in some of your header tags on your homepage.
00:05:01.975 --> 00:05:04.554
So header tags are just those big fonts.
00:05:04.554 --> 00:05:08.245
The bigger text that breaks up your text on a small page.
00:05:08.245 --> 00:05:12.115
So think of it as like the titles between the paragraphs,'cause that's really what they are.
00:05:12.115 --> 00:05:15.475
They're title tags you're going to or your they're header tags.
00:05:15.745 --> 00:05:18.534
You're going to have one header tag for your page.
00:05:18.565 --> 00:05:23.575
If you're on WordPress by default, the page name is going to be the head, the H one tag.
00:05:24.299 --> 00:05:28.470
Then you'll have secondary H two or H three H two.
00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.379
You wanna think of as like your paragraphs.
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.980
So if you have three points, let's say you're working on a blog post.
00:05:34.980 --> 00:05:38.325
I know we've been talking about the homepage, but let's, it's easier to explain it in blog post.
00:05:39.034 --> 00:05:39.544
Format.
00:05:39.544 --> 00:05:42.215
So let's say we have a blog post that's three tips.
00:05:42.634 --> 00:05:48.514
Tip one, tip two, and tip three would each be an H two tag, because they are a complete thought.
00:05:48.514 --> 00:05:50.195
They're a section of text.
00:05:50.585 --> 00:05:56.200
Then if you wanted to break one of those down further, maybe there's sub points in section number one.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:12.720
Or step number one, then you would use H three tags to break down that information into subsections to make it easier for your reader and also for your search engines, both your traditional and your AI search engines.
00:06:13.495 --> 00:06:15.804
That's going to help you optimize the page.
00:06:16.075 --> 00:06:22.375
So don't worry about, is my website builder the best one for SEO?
00:06:22.375 --> 00:06:24.534
It really doesn't matter.
00:06:25.044 --> 00:06:28.884
They're all going to be fairly SEO friendly.
00:06:28.884 --> 00:06:33.924
They're all going to have some pluses and minuses honestly.
00:06:34.284 --> 00:06:47.034
You're going to have more code, which is gonna slow things down a bit when you're using website builders, but it also makes it so that you can edit it on your end, which is ideally what I recommend.
00:06:47.034 --> 00:06:55.164
So whether it's Kajabi, Squarespace, show it, et cetera, you're going to have additional code just because of the fact that it is.
00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:57.750
It is a builder, it is gonna slow it down slightly.
00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:05.340
Site speed does impact our potential rankings, but it's not going to negatively impact you to the point that you need to have somebody hard code a website.
00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:11.370
I do not recommend that my site has that on like the core pages and it's a pain in the behind.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:14.070
And I am not the one who addresses who does that.
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:23.070
I have a regular blog editor, and my blog is exactly like what you're probably used to on your website, and it's much more user friendly.
00:07:23.070 --> 00:07:25.230
And that is what I recommend a hundred percent.
00:07:26.725 --> 00:07:32.784
To be technically friendly, you wanna make sure that your site can really update.
00:07:32.784 --> 00:07:35.335
So the things you're looking for is, can I add content?
00:07:36.909 --> 00:07:38.200
Can I add header tags?
00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:39.429
Can I upload photos?
00:07:39.429 --> 00:07:41.860
Can I change the names of my photos?
00:07:42.340 --> 00:07:43.629
Can I write a title tag?
00:07:43.629 --> 00:07:45.370
Can I write a meta description?
00:07:45.370 --> 00:07:50.440
As long as you can do all of those core things on your website, you're going to be fine.
00:07:50.470 --> 00:07:57.519
You don't need to change your website structure, your builder, your platform to do SEO.
00:07:58.029 --> 00:07:59.620
The other thing you wanna look at.
00:08:00.394 --> 00:08:15.605
Is reducing your file size because your image file sizes will slow down your website, and that is what will impact you more than your choice of platform because large images.
00:08:15.909 --> 00:08:22.870
Load slowly, and they'll impact your site performance and they'll impact the user experience.
00:08:22.870 --> 00:08:31.240
So what you can do to help yourself is to either use a plugin like WP Smush if you're on WordPress.
00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:39.830
If you are maybe having photos done by a photographer, make sure that you have a version of them that are saved for web.
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:46.370
You'll use those on your website versus the big, large files that you might use for print.
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:56.480
If you are on a different platform and you don't have a plugin, or you don't have a way of doing it automatically, then you can use a tool like WP Smush.
00:08:57.115 --> 00:08:57.465
Sorry.
00:08:57.470 --> 00:09:00.370
WP Smush is the WordPress plugin.
00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:06.579
You can use JPEG mini, which is a tool that you can use to reduce the sizes of your images.
00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:16.659
If you're on Canva, you want to Remo, you want to just export your images as jpeg, not PNG, because JPEG files are smaller than PNGs.
00:09:17.334 --> 00:09:30.294
The only time you should use a PNG is if you need a transparent background on your image, because that is what you can get with A PNG that you can't get with a JPEG unless you need a transparent background.
00:09:30.294 --> 00:09:32.004
Don't bother with a PNG.
00:09:32.125 --> 00:09:33.084
JPEG is fine.
00:09:33.115 --> 00:09:35.634
It's also a smaller file on Canvas.
00:09:35.634 --> 00:09:37.404
Save it as a small one or a medium file.
00:09:38.084 --> 00:09:43.064
Um, start with small, take a look at it, make sure that it looks like it's got the right quality that you want.
00:09:43.064 --> 00:09:47.355
As long as the quality is good on a small file, it will load faster, which will help you.
00:09:47.924 --> 00:09:51.644
Ultimately, you're looking to have your images be kilobytes, not megabytes.
00:09:51.644 --> 00:09:52.995
So kb not mb.
00:09:53.404 --> 00:09:54.365
You want them small.
00:09:54.365 --> 00:09:58.924
You don't want big, giant images that are going to slow everything down.
00:09:58.924 --> 00:10:05.074
That's going to have more of an impact than whether you're on Squarespace or Kajabi or WordPress.
00:10:05.105 --> 00:10:05.524
Okay.
00:10:05.884 --> 00:10:06.875
Hopefully this helped.
00:10:06.875 --> 00:10:13.804
I know we talked a little woo there for a moment about nervous system regulation, but it's been fascinating for me.
00:10:13.804 --> 00:10:16.569
I've had the opportunity to learn.
00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:25.509
Um, quite a bit about how our nervous system impacts us as entrepreneurs, and it's been really, really interesting.
00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:33.220
And there are little things like that where you feel like you're stuck, you know what you should do, but you can't do it, or you feel like.
00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:34.980
Well, I've gotta figure this out.
00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.319
Before I do that, I've gotta redesign my website.
00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:38.459
I've gotta change my font.
00:10:38.459 --> 00:10:39.569
I've gotta change my brand.
00:10:39.569 --> 00:10:41.909
Maybe I need to change my platform.
00:10:42.269 --> 00:10:48.475
And so often that's just a nervous system reaction because we're scared about something.
00:10:49.375 --> 00:10:50.245
I had no idea.
00:10:50.424 --> 00:10:52.674
I'm finding it absolutely fascinating to learn about.
00:10:52.674 --> 00:10:58.014
If you are interested, if this is like, I wanna learn more about this, let me know.
00:10:58.314 --> 00:11:05.304
Send me a DM on Instagram, reply back to an email, something like that, because I have a friend who I've learned a bunch from.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:12.549
And she could potentially come on the podcast and talk to us about tips for our nervous system regulation.
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.649
But I wanna make sure it's something that you're interested in because I've learned a ton from her and I bet she would be willing to come on and chat with us about it.
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.299
But I wanna make sure it's something that you're interested in before I reach out to her and ask about that.
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.089
Alright, that's it for today.
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.970
Thank you for being here, and I'll see you back here next week.
00:11:31.029 --> 00:11:32.259
Bye for now.
00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:32.319
Bye.
00:00:27.070 --> 00:00:29.260
Hi, welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:34.539
Today I wanted to talk about website platforms and your SEO.
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:42.130
This is a question I get a lot, especially from my students, Rachel, which website platform is the best for my SEO?
00:00:42.370 --> 00:00:50.590
Before I get into this, before I start doing SEO, before I start creating more content, do I need to move my website to a different platform?
00:00:51.310 --> 00:00:54.010
In most cases, the answer is no.
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:57.429
You don't need to move your website to a different platform.
00:00:57.700 --> 00:01:01.914
If you're on showit, Kajabi, Squarespace, WordPress.
00:01:03.804 --> 00:01:05.634
I don't know which other ones.
00:01:05.634 --> 00:01:07.855
Those are the main ones, Shopify, et cetera.
00:01:08.245 --> 00:01:11.064
Those are all ones that you can do SEO on.
00:01:11.335 --> 00:01:19.495
In my experience, the only one I found that really had an issue with SEO was the GoDaddy website builder, and it's possible that they've updated it.
00:01:19.495 --> 00:01:28.944
I haven't looked at it in the past couple of years, but it was one where you could not do SEO on the site, but the majority of the ones that are available today are.
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:30.210
SEO Friendly.
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.530
They are ones that you can optimize, you can customize, you can do what you need.
00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:49.049
So rather than worrying about, am I on the wrong platform, I want you to instead focus on learning how to optimize for the platform that you're on, because the thought of moving from one platform to another is actually.
00:01:49.674 --> 00:01:52.284
A very serious, sizable undertaking.
00:01:52.284 --> 00:01:57.864
It's not something that I want you to do, just because you think that the one you're on isn't the most ideal.
00:01:57.864 --> 00:02:03.625
From an SEO perspective, it's something that if you really need to make a change, you really don't wanna be on Squarespace.
00:02:03.625 --> 00:02:05.185
You really do wanna move to Kajabi.
00:02:05.185 --> 00:02:11.335
You wanna go to go high level, you wanna go to show it because of features that that platform has.
00:02:11.810 --> 00:02:16.579
Great, but don't think that you need to do it just to be able to do SEO.
00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:26.480
Sometimes when we get focused on things like I need to change the platform before I do SEO, that's actually our nervous system.
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:26.865
Like I.
00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:34.900
Getting scared and so wanting to stay busy by focusing on something that feels less scary than like learning SEO.
00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:35.770
It's kind of interesting.
00:02:35.770 --> 00:02:41.949
I've been learning a lot about how our nervous system impacts us as entrepreneurs, and I found that to be fascinating.
00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:43.060
It's that busy work.
00:02:43.090 --> 00:02:51.310
It's staying busy doing things that aren't really moving the needle so often when we're thinking about, I need to change this, or I need to redesign my website.
00:02:51.590 --> 00:02:55.099
It's not actually what's going on, it's that something inside of us is scared.
00:02:55.099 --> 00:03:00.469
So maybe take a minute, take a deep breath, ask yourself what is it that you're afraid of doing?
00:03:00.469 --> 00:03:03.349
What is it that you think you need to do differently?
00:03:03.949 --> 00:03:07.370
And then like, what is the one next thing that I could do?
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.159
So what's the one thing if I just started with one thing?
00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:16.729
So for you, let's say you're gonna stay on the platform you're on because now you understand you don't need to change.
00:03:17.390 --> 00:03:20.390
The platform that you're on is absolutely fine for SEO.
00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:27.400
So now what we wanna do is to look at how can I start to optimize my site without getting scared.
00:03:28.539 --> 00:03:29.770
So choose one keyword.
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:31.000
Let's start with your homepage.
00:03:31.030 --> 00:03:37.629
Your homepage is honestly the easiest page to focus on because in most cases, your keyword for your homepage is gonna be your business name.
00:03:38.890 --> 00:03:40.150
Let's make it super simple.
00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:58.729
If you service a local area, let's go ahead and also use that local area, that city or town or city and state, depending if you're in a situation where like there's two cities with your name, there's one in your state and there's one in another state, then you might wanna go ahead and include the city and state both.
00:03:59.525 --> 00:04:01.474
But let's optimize that homepage.
00:04:01.474 --> 00:04:06.814
Let's just get it started, because that's gonna make it easier and it's gonna make everything else feel easier for you.
00:04:07.055 --> 00:04:08.645
So start with your business name.
00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:16.750
You're gonna create a title tag and a meta description with your business name as the key words, so you can do that.
00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:21.310
Your title tag should be a maximum of 60 characters, including spaces.
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.889
Your meta description should be a maximum of 160 characters, also including spaces.
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.840
Then I want you to make sure that you've used your keyword, meaning your business name or your name.
00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:33.610
If you're like a coach or a consultant.
00:04:34.404 --> 00:04:41.995
And if you are a local business, you've used your location information also in the first paragraph of your copy.
00:04:42.414 --> 00:04:47.485
This is important because it helps Google Bot, it helps ai, it helps all of that.
00:04:47.485 --> 00:04:53.605
It also helps the customer to know that this is the website, I found the right place.
00:04:53.634 --> 00:04:55.429
It is servicing this local area.
00:04:56.455 --> 00:05:01.975
And then you'll want to potentially use your keyword in some of your header tags on your homepage.
00:05:01.975 --> 00:05:04.554
So header tags are just those big fonts.
00:05:04.554 --> 00:05:08.245
The bigger text that breaks up your text on a small page.
00:05:08.245 --> 00:05:12.115
So think of it as like the titles between the paragraphs,'cause that's really what they are.
00:05:12.115 --> 00:05:15.475
They're title tags you're going to or your they're header tags.
00:05:15.745 --> 00:05:18.534
You're going to have one header tag for your page.
00:05:18.565 --> 00:05:23.575
If you're on WordPress by default, the page name is going to be the head, the H one tag.
00:05:24.299 --> 00:05:28.470
Then you'll have secondary H two or H three H two.
00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.379
You wanna think of as like your paragraphs.
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.980
So if you have three points, let's say you're working on a blog post.
00:05:34.980 --> 00:05:38.325
I know we've been talking about the homepage, but let's, it's easier to explain it in blog post.
00:05:39.034 --> 00:05:39.544
Format.
00:05:39.544 --> 00:05:42.215
So let's say we have a blog post that's three tips.
00:05:42.634 --> 00:05:48.514
Tip one, tip two, and tip three would each be an H two tag, because they are a complete thought.
00:05:48.514 --> 00:05:50.195
They're a section of text.
00:05:50.585 --> 00:05:56.200
Then if you wanted to break one of those down further, maybe there's sub points in section number one.
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:12.720
Or step number one, then you would use H three tags to break down that information into subsections to make it easier for your reader and also for your search engines, both your traditional and your AI search engines.
00:06:13.495 --> 00:06:15.804
That's going to help you optimize the page.
00:06:16.075 --> 00:06:22.375
So don't worry about, is my website builder the best one for SEO?
00:06:22.375 --> 00:06:24.534
It really doesn't matter.
00:06:25.044 --> 00:06:28.884
They're all going to be fairly SEO friendly.
00:06:28.884 --> 00:06:33.924
They're all going to have some pluses and minuses honestly.
00:06:34.284 --> 00:06:47.034
You're going to have more code, which is gonna slow things down a bit when you're using website builders, but it also makes it so that you can edit it on your end, which is ideally what I recommend.
00:06:47.034 --> 00:06:55.164
So whether it's Kajabi, Squarespace, show it, et cetera, you're going to have additional code just because of the fact that it is.
00:06:55.350 --> 00:06:57.750
It is a builder, it is gonna slow it down slightly.
00:06:58.139 --> 00:07:05.340
Site speed does impact our potential rankings, but it's not going to negatively impact you to the point that you need to have somebody hard code a website.
00:07:05.370 --> 00:07:11.370
I do not recommend that my site has that on like the core pages and it's a pain in the behind.
00:07:11.370 --> 00:07:14.070
And I am not the one who addresses who does that.
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:23.070
I have a regular blog editor, and my blog is exactly like what you're probably used to on your website, and it's much more user friendly.
00:07:23.070 --> 00:07:25.230
And that is what I recommend a hundred percent.
00:07:26.725 --> 00:07:32.784
To be technically friendly, you wanna make sure that your site can really update.
00:07:32.784 --> 00:07:35.335
So the things you're looking for is, can I add content?
00:07:36.909 --> 00:07:38.200
Can I add header tags?
00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:39.429
Can I upload photos?
00:07:39.429 --> 00:07:41.860
Can I change the names of my photos?
00:07:42.340 --> 00:07:43.629
Can I write a title tag?
00:07:43.629 --> 00:07:45.370
Can I write a meta description?
00:07:45.370 --> 00:07:50.440
As long as you can do all of those core things on your website, you're going to be fine.
00:07:50.470 --> 00:07:57.519
You don't need to change your website structure, your builder, your platform to do SEO.
00:07:58.029 --> 00:07:59.620
The other thing you wanna look at.
00:08:00.394 --> 00:08:15.605
Is reducing your file size because your image file sizes will slow down your website, and that is what will impact you more than your choice of platform because large images.
00:08:15.909 --> 00:08:22.870
Load slowly, and they'll impact your site performance and they'll impact the user experience.
00:08:22.870 --> 00:08:31.240
So what you can do to help yourself is to either use a plugin like WP Smush if you're on WordPress.
00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:39.830
If you are maybe having photos done by a photographer, make sure that you have a version of them that are saved for web.
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:46.370
You'll use those on your website versus the big, large files that you might use for print.
00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:56.480
If you are on a different platform and you don't have a plugin, or you don't have a way of doing it automatically, then you can use a tool like WP Smush.
00:08:57.115 --> 00:08:57.465
Sorry.
00:08:57.470 --> 00:09:00.370
WP Smush is the WordPress plugin.
00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:06.579
You can use JPEG mini, which is a tool that you can use to reduce the sizes of your images.
00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:16.659
If you're on Canva, you want to Remo, you want to just export your images as jpeg, not PNG, because JPEG files are smaller than PNGs.
00:09:17.334 --> 00:09:30.294
The only time you should use a PNG is if you need a transparent background on your image, because that is what you can get with A PNG that you can't get with a JPEG unless you need a transparent background.
00:09:30.294 --> 00:09:32.004
Don't bother with a PNG.
00:09:32.125 --> 00:09:33.084
JPEG is fine.
00:09:33.115 --> 00:09:35.634
It's also a smaller file on Canvas.
00:09:35.634 --> 00:09:37.404
Save it as a small one or a medium file.
00:09:38.084 --> 00:09:43.064
Um, start with small, take a look at it, make sure that it looks like it's got the right quality that you want.
00:09:43.064 --> 00:09:47.355
As long as the quality is good on a small file, it will load faster, which will help you.
00:09:47.924 --> 00:09:51.644
Ultimately, you're looking to have your images be kilobytes, not megabytes.
00:09:51.644 --> 00:09:52.995
So kb not mb.
00:09:53.404 --> 00:09:54.365
You want them small.
00:09:54.365 --> 00:09:58.924
You don't want big, giant images that are going to slow everything down.
00:09:58.924 --> 00:10:05.074
That's going to have more of an impact than whether you're on Squarespace or Kajabi or WordPress.
00:10:05.105 --> 00:10:05.524
Okay.
00:10:05.884 --> 00:10:06.875
Hopefully this helped.
00:10:06.875 --> 00:10:13.804
I know we talked a little woo there for a moment about nervous system regulation, but it's been fascinating for me.
00:10:13.804 --> 00:10:16.569
I've had the opportunity to learn.
00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:25.509
Um, quite a bit about how our nervous system impacts us as entrepreneurs, and it's been really, really interesting.
00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:33.220
And there are little things like that where you feel like you're stuck, you know what you should do, but you can't do it, or you feel like.
00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:34.980
Well, I've gotta figure this out.
00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:37.319
Before I do that, I've gotta redesign my website.
00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:38.459
I've gotta change my font.
00:10:38.459 --> 00:10:39.569
I've gotta change my brand.
00:10:39.569 --> 00:10:41.909
Maybe I need to change my platform.
00:10:42.269 --> 00:10:48.475
And so often that's just a nervous system reaction because we're scared about something.
00:10:49.375 --> 00:10:50.245
I had no idea.
00:10:50.424 --> 00:10:52.674
I'm finding it absolutely fascinating to learn about.
00:10:52.674 --> 00:10:58.014
If you are interested, if this is like, I wanna learn more about this, let me know.
00:10:58.314 --> 00:11:05.304
Send me a DM on Instagram, reply back to an email, something like that, because I have a friend who I've learned a bunch from.
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:12.549
And she could potentially come on the podcast and talk to us about tips for our nervous system regulation.
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.649
But I wanna make sure it's something that you're interested in because I've learned a ton from her and I bet she would be willing to come on and chat with us about it.
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.299
But I wanna make sure it's something that you're interested in before I reach out to her and ask about that.
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.089
Alright, that's it for today.
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.970
Thank you for being here, and I'll see you back here next week.
00:11:31.029 --> 00:11:32.259
Bye for now.
00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:32.319
Bye.
