Who I am Problems I Solve

Website and Blog Services

Are you looking for a new or improved Website or Blog? Is your Weebly or WordPress website “broken”? I can help! If you already have a Weebly or WordPress website or blog, I can give it an update and amplify your efficiency by training you and your team to edit and maintain it yourself. I love to TRAIN my Mindshare Marketing and Implementation Service’s clients to do as much of the editing and maintenance as they’d like. Check out the HOW I WORK page and Website and Blog Consultation Page to review sample sites and to schedule a complimentary consultation.

I work with nonprofits and small businesses to keep their websites running smoothly and efficiently, gaining you credibility and results!

Membership Websites and MembershipWorks

I have found a fantastic platform that my clients and I both absolutely love! It’s easy to use, can be customized for your group, nonprofit or organization, includes a cool online membership directory, online payments, forms, syncs with MailChimp and QuickBooks, offers a shopping cart, job board, announcement board and more! Read about the membership websites with MembershipWorks that I have done and the testimonials from clients.

Marketing and Administrative Services

In addition to website services, I offer a wide array of marketing and administrative services, as found on the Services page. Complementing the services I provide, I also provide a wealth of well-vetted resources and connections. Need a better system for your nonprofit members? Or maybe an online giving campaign to raise much needed funds? I can help with that!

About me

I am a solo entrepreneur who loves to teach, solve problems, and work with nonprofits and small businesses.

What I can do for you

WordPress Website or Blog

Create a brand new blog or website, or update a current site using the powerful and extremely customizable WordPress platform. An excellent option for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to help get you “found” on the Internet. Good for businesses, nonprofits, groups and organizations. I help you gather the content, add images and enhance your website so it attracts your ideal client or future member and donor.

I can help solve those issues for you!

Newsletters

How often do your followers hear from you? Get your message in your audience’s mailbox either by Print or email delivery. I offer writing, editing, and publishing services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Keep your followers informed. Share your opportunities. Grow your business or nonprofit. Let me take care of the details.

Email Marketing

Keep your audience engaged via email marketing with a program like MailChimp or Constant Contact. Invite them to participate in your products and services, ask them to volunteer or donate for a specific event or campaign. Segment your list for targeted asks. Capture the traffic that you are driving to your website by adding an email signup to your website.

Consultation

Consider a Communication Consultation where we can discuss what you need right now for your business or nonprofit and get it implemented! Sometimes advice is all you need to help set a plan in motion. If you have a simple or horrific problem, let’s talk about it. I’m great about creating systems to solve problems, create more efficiency and increase communication for all involved.

Mindshare Marketing

Basically, I just love helping my clients in multiple ways using my business skills. Here’s what some of my Mindshare Marketing and Implementation Services clients have to say…

Mary Hershberger Thun shared this message with me about the website I created for WeCAB, a nonprofit that provides a ride service. Makes me feel good that they are so proud of the website.

“I gave a WeCAB presentation to the City of Waconia’s Senior Commission. Susan Arntz, Waconia’s City Manager, was in attendance. I thought you would want to know that Susan went out of her way to publicly compliment WeCAB for our website.  She thought it was very thorough and was glad that she had reviewed it. The site provides a lot of information. She was also very impressed that volunteers can apply online.  You worked hard on that application; it was noticed!

I want to share Susan’s comments because you have been so great to work with and we all appreciate your work and the little extra things that you contribute to the WeCAB website!  Thank you for everything.”

And here’s a note from Pat at the Rottweiler Health Foundation explaining how we met and what I was able to do for their nonprofit. Such a joy to work with their team, which is located all across the nation! Tackling MembershipWorks integration is one of my favorite tasks. It helps nonprofits get organized, be more efficient and save time!

“Our non-profit was looking to move our membership management to MembershipWorks. However, we had issues with several other things and had stalled out. I found Michelle on a google search and contacted her to see if she could help. After speaking with the people involved, she presented a proposal and got to work!!
Michelle helped to work through our issues. She was right there, guiding us were we needed it, and letting us get comfortable with MembershipWorks. She also was able to fully integrate our WordPress system, and helped us get all of our other issues taken care of, including updating our website.
The Rottweiler Health Foundation is now moving along smoothly with our system. We are hearing good things from our Board and our members. All of the issues were done on schedule and on budget too.
As Membership Chair, I am thrilled with how easy it was to work with Michelle. And I know if I run in to any questions in the future, she will be right there to help.” Pat Carkoski, Rottweiler Health Foundation
