Are you looking for a guest speaker for your group or membership?
You can book me for a FREE session to help your members with website advice and training, I’m also open to working to support groups as an expert on an ongoing basis.
Here’s how can I help your group with their websites…
I currently offer 4 suggested sessions to choose from.
If you have something specific in mind I’m all ears, just ask!
OPTION 01
Let’s Get Your Blogging Sorted
– Group Training
Do your members need to give their blogging a kickstart?
WHY SHOULD THEY BE BLOGGING?
Getting to grips with the why, and how can elude us despite our best efforts.
I believe in stripping things back to what you really need to know to get things done. I also believe that it’s important to understand why you are doing something, so you can ensure it has a purpose.
Many of us lose way too many hours a month focusing on unproductive tasks that add little value to our business.
I eventually learned (despite resisting for years) the benefits of blogging and earned enduring top spots on Google which, are the mainstay of my millinery business traffic to this day. I just needed to reframe my understanding of what blogging was really about and how to do it.
I want to help your members do the same.

Review
“Just wanted to say a big Thank you to Harriet Head for the amazing blogging masterclass she taught in my membership last week.
My members have told me they totally understand about blogging now and can see how they should be using it in their business to generate leads. Three of them have already written new blogs since the class!!
I highly recommend Harriet to anyone who is looking for guest speakers on this topic.”
-Sam Clark (Marketing Mentor For Artisans)
OPTION 02
Live Website User Reviews
– Group Training
Do your group members have websites that have room for improvement?
WOULD THEY BENEFIT FROM SOME IMPARTIAL FEEDBACK?
Websites should attract, connect and convert more clients, not confuse or repel them.
The Website User Review will identify where sites may be missing the mark.
Please note these are not full technical appraisals and comprehensive SEO assessments. They may of course touch on these aspects with relevant observations, but will be focused on a user, sales & marketing perspectives, along with design suggestions.
When we’ve spent hours working on something it’s impossible to see the wood for the trees. I offer valuable impartial insights, to see your website through a stranger’s eyes.
Session Content
- I can usually cover 2 or 3 mini live reviews of volunteers’ websites during an hour-long session and answer questions as required.
Review
“Harriet came into my membership group and did a website review for some of the members, with others on the call at the same time. It was a brilliant session – even for those who were just watching the others’ reviews!
Harriet clearly knows her stuff, she really helped my members get clarity on what needed tweaking (as well as giving them positive pointers on the things that were working well!), and helped them to see things from a different perspective.
As cake makers we often undersell ourselves and this session really helped my members identify this and give them the confidence to really demonstrate their worth through their website. Thanks Harriet, we all found it so helpful!”

OPTION 03
Does Your Business Need A Website?
(And if so, your options and how to get started)
– Group Training
Have your group members reached the stage where they’re weighing up websites?
WOULD THEY BENEFIT FROM HONEST STRAIGHTFORWARD ADVICE?
There’s a huge difference between having a website, and having a website that works for you effectively and I want to help them avoid that outcome.
In brief, the answer is – not always, they may not be ready.
What I want to do is equip your members with the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision about whether to and how to proceed and the groundwork they’ll need to put in first to make a success, whichever route they pursue.
This is what I wish I’d know at the start of my journey, it would have saved me some costly mistakes and much time wasting, agonising and unnecessary fear of tech.
Session Content
- Does your business needs a website and the pros and cons involved.
- If you need a website should you build your own or should you have it built for you?
- Whatever you decide there are a range of things you need to know in order to ensure a successful outcome, we’ll take a quick visit round the key things you need to know.
- How do you get started?
- How long should it take?
- What should it cost?
- Q&A’s
Review
“It is a pleasure to have Harriet in my membership to talk to my members about websites and memberships.
The thing that my members have loved most is the website user review. She have such great insight into each website, that my clients keep asking to have her back in the membership!
Harriet is always a pleasure to have, she explains in a very straightforward manner, there is no fluff. It also helps that she is so approachable.
I would highly recommend Harriet to anyone looking for a speaker on blogging, membership sites, websites and content mapping.”

OPTION 04
How To Differentiate Your Website
– Group Training
Are your group members trying to stand out in a competitive field?
WOULD THEY BENEFIT FROM SOME ACTIONABLE POINTERS?
When you’re spending time and money in a website it’s key that it’s invested in something that’s going to land with potential clients and more importantly keep them coming back until they buy or start working with you.
Websites are too expensive in terms of time and money to get wrong.
What I want to do is equip your members with helpful insights to make informed decisions about their websites, whether they are at the start of a journey or overhauling an existing website.
This is what I wish I’d know at the start of my journey, it would have saved me some costly mistakes and much time wasting, agonising and unnecessary fear of tech.
Session Content
- What is at risk if you don’t differentiate
- 4 Key areas that you should focus on
- What you should avoid
- Other factors to consider
- Q&A’s
This session can be tailored to your industry, we can discuss this further if you’re interested.
Review
“Harriet held a brilliant session on ‘differentiating your website’ in my online business festival for cake makers. In her usual friendly, approachable style, Harriet delivered an incredible amount of information and advice in this 40 minute session, all of which was relevant and actionable.
It really helped my audience think about how to present their website in a way that would attract their ideal clients and showcase their best work. She also made time for questions at the end and helped viewers with their specific questions.
Here are some of the things they said:
- “Great advice! I’m looking at my website in a different way now” Lynda T
- “Another amazing session – lots to think about!” Kathy N
- “A really informative session from Harriet! I’m looking forward to seeing my new website that Harriet is making for me at the moment” Beckie C
- “Great advice, thanks – I need to get a blog going!” Danielle”

That’s quite a random resume, but with it comes an unusually, versatile perspective.
I’ve had websites professionally built in the past, I’ve built them for myself and friends and now I build them for others. I learned the hard way and wasted so much time and energy over the years. So, I’m here to save people the time-wasting, and pitfalls of the process.
I’ve experience in all aspects of the process, from design, content, copy, SEO, process, automations, integrations, marketing, blogging, memberships, etc.
I work in Squarespace and WordPress though the platform itself is a separate issue to what is actually built and presented on it.
If they want to build and maintain a website themselves, as “The Website Sidekick” I’ve compiled comprehensive, step-by-step course that covers what I wish I’d known years ago. I offer Power Hours, and website user reviews too.
For those who’d rather hand over the reins and have a bespoke website built, I can do that too as “The Business Whisperer”.
Either way, I’ve been where your members are and my mission is to help them get the best solution for themselves and their businesses.
Reciprocal Request / Special Offer
I believe in transparency and really appreciate the opportunity to meet and connect with your group. I’m grateful for any links you share and services you may allow me to promote at the end of the session. In return I speak for free and offer your members discounted rates or offers in line with the nature of the talk, this will be discussed when we speak.

BLOGGING WORKSHOP
Title Of Talk – Let’s Get Your Blogging Sorted!
Does your blogging need a kickstart?
- Is your blog sitting there looking lonely and neglected, or is it niggling away at your conscience?
- Do you know you should be blogging and you just can’t get around to doing it?
- Perhaps you have a blog but the response is just tumbleweed and crickets?
- Do you want to start blogging for your business but don’t know where to begin?
There’s a huge difference between having a website and having one that works productively for your business. Both can be equally time-consuming, but have you got the resources and energy to waste?
Let me help you to get your blogging sorted!
WEBSITE REVIEW SESSION
Title Of Talk – Website Review Session
Website Review Session
WHY SHOULD I HAVE A WEBSITE USER REVIEW?
Getting to grips with the why, and how can elude us despite our best efforts.
I believe in stripping things back to what you really need to know to get things done. I also believe that it’s important to understand why you are doing something, so you can ensure it has a purpose.
Many of us lose way too many hours a month focusing on unproductive tasks that add little value to our business.
In my initial business, I eventually learned the benefits of blogging and earned enduring top spots on Google which, are the mainstay of “By Harriet” traffic. I just needed to reframe my understanding of what blogging was really about and how to do it.
As an example…
Google hair accessories for older brides and see if I pop up at the top (By Harriet)
I want to help you do the same.
