“I never thought in a million years I’d book these types of clients and match my $55,000 teacher’s salary with a single (part-time!) contract.”

(results not typical)

Let's face it ...

Most memberships are fluff.

A stagnant waterhole of non-practical skills that don't support and advance your work in the online space.

You know where I'm coming from. You're probably paying X amount of money to these goofy groups.

beginner-level video trainings with nothing of substance to truly
help you scale

outsourced guest workshops by other marketers just speaking to promote their course

Real Talk

You can learn the basic skills of being a VA anywhere. And there are loads of memberships to help you start.

But if you’re already working billable hours and actively applying for jobs

What you actually need is…

A membership that guides you through the messy middle

"I landed multiple four-figure monthly retainer clients directly from leads Emily has posted."

"And I had my biggest month ever in my business in December. Before joining her membership, I relied on referrals from other people. I was getting clients, but the work was never steady.

Now I can relax knowing I have a reliable pipeline of clients coming my way, even if I have to step away from my business for a couple of weeks."

— Esai Arasi, Social Media Strategist, Social Konnection

If you’re feeling like you’re floundering...

making $200 or $300 here and there and struggling to book enough work and projects that light you up ...

Then it’s time to realign your vision and level up your whole foundation

So you can rise to your money goals...

And parlay your skills to work on the most impactful projects ever.

I want to hit my money goals!

I want to hit my money goals!

As a freelancer navigating the online space, you can't afford to waste any more brain power or resources

What you gotta understand is…

There's a gap in this space of people doing solid implementation work.

Clients right now are looking for skills that aren't being taught in any virtual assistant program

Pssst. I'm gonna let you in on a lil' success secret...

The money isn't in general VA work at all…

The market's too saturated. It's competitive and devalued.

The highest-paid VAs are marketing assistants who understand the bigger picture.

They see marketing as an ecosystem.

And how different components of a client's strategy affect the entire rainbow.

The highest-paid VAs aren't even called VAs.

Nuh-uh...

The real unicorns introduce themselves as digital marketers.

So while you’ve been...

scrolling jobs on Upwork
focusing on niching down
relying on past clients for referrals
writing social media captions for pittance pay
dancing and pointing on reels, pressured by your “coach”

A group of focused hardworking, multi-skilled, and passionate people (just like you!) are trailblazing a path to work-from-anywhere schedule freedom and $50+ an hour pay — the freelancer’s promised land.

They snag the top jobs by being indispensable.

They sharpen their copywriting skills and master the techie schmutz of live webinars.

They don’t recoil at the sight of a multiple-surgeries nurture sequence. Instead, they’ve got the talent to heal those wounds with their horn.

A Digital Marketer’s Magic Success Recipe

One part implementation

One part strategy

One part wizardry consulting

Getting FOMO? It's not your fault

It’s like you were handed half-helpful directions to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

And when you get there, you discover 50,000 VAs have already CLEANED. IT. DRY.

You look up...

Miles away, an elite group has risen to build castles in the stars.

Let’s be super clear here.

There was no way you could have known this magical, elevated opportunity exists.

No chance.

No way.

No how.

Here’s why…

Let’s be super clear here.

There was no way you could have known this magical, elevated opportunity exists.

No chance.

No way.

No how.

Here’s why…

There’s a massive missed opportunity in the online space

Show me how it’s done...

Virtual assistants are training as task rabbits, but business owners have their fair pick of those.

They’re searching for something more…

“My VAs are very limited in what they can do. I’m trying to scale. I’m looking for basically… what I’m looking for, it seems it almost doesn’t exist.”

– Biz owners everywhere

Business owners need someone to step up and take the (marketing) reins.

They need digital marketers.

And who qualifies for this job?

**Probably YOU!**

If you're already...

a virtual assistant touching marketing funnels, emails, or website updates…

helping with social media, blogging, SEO, content creation, or affiliate partnerships…

logging into platforms like Pinterest or YouTube or dipping into Facebook & Google ads

You’re already a digital marketer.

You just haven’t turned the mirror around to actually see your worth.

🤯 Here's the kicker...

Nobody’s talking about the increasing need for talented people like you.

Beholder of a varied, multi-faceted skill set, with a

strategic mindset

self-starter attitude

plus oodles of patience and persistence to navigate the ever-morphing world of CRMs and tech

Digital marketers hold some of the highest-paid jobs in the industry.

(Day rates can creep north of $1400.)

And it’s skills that any serious, hard-working and determined VA – like you – can master.

You’ve just never had someone with their finger on the pulse tell you about this life-changing opportunity!

Hey, I'm Emily —

lover of strawberry bubbly water, my pjs, and graphic tees with blazers

I've been a fellow freelancer in the online space for over 13 years. I've worked with over 100 clients, including big names like Jennifer Allwood and the Miss Mustard Seed: Marian Parsons. A lot of the work I've done is centered around marketing. And I love this work.

But what I see, especially now in this day and age of the great resignation, is people are doing the bare minimum. And there are not enough people who have the right attitude, who have a good work ethic, and who know the marketing tasks that business owners so desperately need help with.

Tech is becoming more sophisticated. Business owners don't have time to learn how to use it. They are looking for hard-working people to join their team. These biz owners have budgets, and they pay what you're worth.

I need more people to refer them.

This is why I launched The Digital Marketer's Workgroup, where I train and share the jobs business owners come to me to fill.

This Workgroup is my community, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

Here's what Workgroup members are saying:

**Make your life — and the life of your family better — by up-leveling your VA skills and becoming a digital marketer like Jennie did:**

I’m not struggling anymore.

My kids see me building a business.

I can pick them up after school and bring them to play dates. I can buy them whatever they want. (Within reason, obviously!)

The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup has totally changed my life.

It’s helped me get clients. And it’s a community filled with people doing the same thing as me. We’re all business owners, and that’s how I see myself now.

— Jennie Stones, Freelance Digital Marketer

Start working from home and never have to return to your office job again, like Steven…

I now have the freedom to choose when I want to work.

I’m not bound to the 9-5.

The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup has given me confidence in my abilities to be able to step into this freelance lifestyle.

I used to spend my day browsing through Kijiji and Craigslist. and Upwork, looking for jobs that matched what I perceive my skill set to be.

Now I book clients just by being honest with them and saying, I've never done this but I have the support of a really nice group who can help me.

— Steven Fortune, Digital Marketer

And gain a group of cheerleaders with pom-poms waving beside you as you grow your business, like Marci.

The community's support (& the number of jobs!) is GOLD.

I was ready to go all in on my VA business, but I was suffering from information overload. I was working full-time in corporate, and I didn’t have a client. So I tuned everybody else out and went all in on Emily and her membership.

Now I’m in a good place. I quit my job and work for myself now, and I don’t have to worry about my finances.

—Marci Sanders, Tech Marketing Assistant

But here’s what truly sets this program apart:

65+ job postings a month

Get in front of hundreds of new biz owners by tapping into Emily’s pool of high-caliber clients who are actively outsourcing work.

Members-Only Facebook Group

Go here to get unstuck, make strong connections with ambitious entrepreneurs in your field, and stay on top of industry trends so that you’re invaluable to clients.

Monthly Happy Hours

Walk away from these monthly Zoom meetings feeling refreshed and supported. Connect with other like-minded people working to build profitable and sustainable online businesses.

Mentoring

Gain access to Emily through the Facebook group. Ask questions and hear her expert advice on the next steps to move ahead.

Immersive Roundtables

Join an interactive discussion with curated leaders in the community to hear what’s working for them behind the scenes and what they recommend. Walk away with actionable advice on leveling up your game without buying another funnel expert’s bundle.

These sound amazing, I'm in!

"I have SIX discovery calls on my calendar in the next two weeks"

"The Workgroup pays for itself"

I ask that our client leads submit their top 3 tasks and some idea of a informal job description. That doesn't mean you have to do it all. You can apply with the services you want to offer and leave the rest for someone else. You also have plenty of opportunities to make yourself an indispensable unicorn to a dream team!

This is just a sampling...

YES! I'm ready to take this client work and make $$$!!

Let’s see if you’re in the perfect spot
to 5X (plus!) a general VA’s hourly rate

by moving from task manager to Digital Marketer inside the Workgroup

You love to optimize processes and systems

and cheer on others to do the same.

You’re a creative marketing wizard

constantly screenshotting design ideas, hacking funnels, bookmarking gifs, and tinkering with landing pages to help streamline your client’s message.

You’ve got determination, grit, and a willingness to take risks,

and you’re not afraid of stepping into the role of “team player” for your client.

You’ve had success in the past doing marketing jobs for clients,

or you’re bringing a skill set groomed by corporate, and you’re primed to hit the ground running.

You embrace variety and challenges positively

and can generate ideas for your client rather than just taking orders and waiting for directions.

You’re familiar with different tech stacks

and you're willing to learn new systems so that you can implement them effectively.

If you possess all these things, you’re ready to order a top-shelf margarita!

"I’ve doubled my earning power in this membership, replacing my full-time corporate income with two weeks of work as a digital marketer."

"This community gave me the confidence to grow. The members genuinely want to see each other succeed. They share their expertise and resource – which is key.

Because it raises everybody if we’re all succeeding. Clients see our value and return to book us more."

— Brittany Gardner, Digital Marketing Assistant

The Digital Marketer’s Workgroup Pinky Promise

You want to build a sustainable and profitable digital marketing business.

You want to grow and scale (even with the tech updates happening faster than I lasted on the elimination diet.)

You know the strategy behind marketing and have the basic skills to implement it.

So here’s my pinky promise with this membership…

You’ll gain access to job opportunities with high-caliber clients who have the budget to pay you what you’re worth.

And you’ll get the confidence it takes to say yes to jobs that will give you even more skills to grow, stretch, and scale.

Once you have the groundwork of marketing, you can really get in any client situation and apply it, and you stand out.

All it takes is one great client to jump to the next pond.

The more you get into strategy and funnel building, you can charge more.

And I promise to stand by you every step of the way inside this membership.

We vet everyone entering the membership so that we can confidently refer you for jobs.

If you are an experienced and serious digital service provider, VA, or freelancer who can take on the work and keep up our reputation – you’ll be approved.

Apply for your spot today!

Why does training and grooming good digital marketers matter so much to me?

If you could see my shoes right now, you would probably approve of their excellent arch support.

That's the kind of person I am.

Practical. (You'd have sleep envy if you peeped my weighted blankets.)

I started working in this industry because I had to. And I did it for $10 an hour!

You see, I began my freelancing career when my husband's job in the military placed me away from my dream job.

And I didn't want to go back to work.

I had my firstborn, and life had changed.

Being the strategist I am, I took my PR and marketing skills and started offering work from the comfort of my own home, meaning no commute, no starting over – and I got to be home with my son.

Since then, I've had four children. I've worked with hundreds of clients.

I became known as the virtual assistant who did advanced marketing stuff.

For years, my clients called me a VA, and I didn't even know what it meant!

Being from the military, I thought it meant veteran or Virginia. "Virtual assistant" was never the proper term.

I made myself indispensable because I didn't just follow orders. I brought things to the table and handed my clients ideas they hadn't thought of. And I made it a point to take a load off their shoulders so they could focus on creating and running courses.

That's the thing about showing up as a digital marketer.

You're able to fast-track because you help your clients actually get results.

It's a powerplay that sets you apart from all the other general VAs.

It gets you referred for more jobs and opportunities, and you get even more experience.

You're adding so much value to your clients' launches that they're singing your name from the rooftop.

I experienced this, and I want it for you.

I experienced this, and I want it for you.

I see how there are not enough good people to fill these upper marketing positions.

The ones that sign you 4-figure contracts and $1400+ day rates.

And the thing about these advanced strategy jobs is that often, you'll find yourself in a situation doing something new.

Inside this membership, I teach you things I've learned in my 13+ years in the industry, and let me tell you — they're things you can't Google.

It's my way of giving back. I didn't have this kind of mentorship or community starting.

All I knew was that I had magical skills that other business owners needed (and would pay good money for).

So I'm out here trailblazing this career path for you.

We are digital marketers.

I'm booked out, and I'm constantly looking for people I can refer for jobs — who can do my work and replace me.

So would you like to replace me?

💖 Emily

You got Q's? I have A's:

Do I have to be an established VA to join this membership?

I’ve already taken a VA course. How do I know this will help me?

Will my application be approved?

What can I expect when I join?

What kind of job leads?

Do you make money off the jobs?

Why do you have a 3-month minimum?

Do you guarantee I’ll actually get booked?

I want to do this, but I’m stretched so thin. How much time is required to make this membership worth the investment?

Can I cancel at any time?

Do I have access to the video training library forever?

How many freelancers are in the group?

What if I don't offer marketing services?

My question isn’t on here. How can I get it answered?

"For me the biggest benefit is the group support"

"If I have a question, I know someone will answer for me. I'm newer and the feedback is so important. I love the job opportunities. The extra monthly trainings are so valuable. Those alone are worth the price of the membership."

— Michelle Kukrish, Video Marketer
