Today I'm sharing the story of Web Designer Academy student Erika Floyd of Brazen Babes Design.Ā Ā 

Erika, who started with us in May 2020, is super talented and creative but never made an income as a web designer. While working with us, she went from no clients and no sales to selling $7500 projects and having $10K months with a steady stream of new clients (and she’s even designing a card game for one of them!).Ā Ā 

In today’s interview, learn how Erika made a bold move for her business, overcame imposter syndrome and took massive action to grow her web design business.Ā Ā 

As Erika tells it, before she found out about Web Designer Academy, she had a business name and registered a domain—but that’s all.Ā Ā 

ā€œI had this big dream but wasn’t confident enough to make it an actual reality.ā€ –Erika FloydĀ 

We cover some of the key questions and answers to reveal how Erika moved from no business to the thriving business she has today, with plans to hire new staff in 2023.Ā Ā 

We discuss:Ā Ā 

  • How Erika found Web Design Academy, and why she decided to take the leap to join us.Ā 
  • What she loved about how the information was delivered, including the recorded modules and how easy they are to navigate and search.Ā 
  • How she dealt with imposter syndrome and the most important transformation she had in the process of working with us.Ā 
  • How the knowledge and confidence she gained from the program has helped her.Ā 
  • The power of community and how it affected her self-confidence.Ā 
  • Why she wanted to work in web design and branding and how, as Erika put it, the work ā€œliterally lights me on fire.ā€Ā Ā 
  • The one thing Erika does that gave me goosebumps!Ā Ā 
  • The importance of being a ā€œstove-toucherā€ in the process of learning and growing both personally and professionally.Ā 
  • Which part of the program was most valuable to Erika, and why.Ā 
  • What makes the Web Designer Academy different from all the other online programs out there.Ā 

Ā 

It’s people like Erika who make our program what it is, and we’ve been privileged to have her in our community. We’re so glad she loved being there, too.Ā Ā 

ā€œBuilding the sense of family and fostering the community is really where you guys excel. It has been the most supportive place I’ve ever been on the internet.ā€ –Erika FloydĀ
