Elizabeth McCravy

Relatable, raw and tactical business trainings to keep you moving towards your big goals. I’m Elizabeth McCravy — a website designer and business strategist for female entrepreneurs. And, I’ve built a multiple six-figure web design business while in my early and mid 20s. I believe that how to build a thriving business shouldn’t be a secret. So, I’m here to pull back the curtain of all things successful business building. I'm a Christian business owner, a toddler boy mama (with baby #2 on the way), and I'm married to my high school sweetheart. I design and sell Showit website templates over at elizabethmccravy.com. I teach fellow brand and website designers how to build an in-demand business in my course and coaching program, Booked Out Designer. And, I've been a podcaster/content creator for years now. I also do real estate investing and my husband and I own 5 long-term rental properties! I believe in working smarter, building wealth through scalable income, and building your business around your LIFE... not your life around your business. On this podcast, you’ll find solo episodes that are tactical, actionable, and easy listening! And you’ll find expert guest interviews and lifestyle-related episodes too. Let’s build a business that feels amazing on the inside and also looks great from the outside. We’re talking online marketing, brand and website design, podcasting, faith, motherhood, productivity, systems, growing a team, business strategy, and so much more! It’s time for you to build a breakthrough brand!

  • 273 - 260: 14 Things That Make Growing Your Business MUCH Harder (Your New "To Quit" List)

    Whether you're in the early days and months of your business, or you've been at it a while, we all unfortunately do things that make business harder than it has to be. These are things that both new and established business owners all do, and today, we are adding them to your “To Quit” list, because they're taking up your time, energy, and ultimately making growth slower.

    Today, I’m sharing 14 things as a business owner that are making your business harder that you may not even realize you're doing. The week this episode airs, I am celebrating eight years of running my business. These are some of the MANY things that I have had to consciously quit in those eight years (and some honestly that I still struggle with quitting even today!). So anyway, this is going to be a great (and FUN!) episode!

  • 272 - 259: 4 Ways to be BOLDER in Your Faith as a Christian Business Owner (Part Two)

    This is PART TWO of last week's episode, with 4 more ways to be bolder in your faith as a Christian business owner! 

    If you feel like your faith is a secret because you don’t know if it’s ok to share it as a business owner, you’re worried you’ll alienate clients/customers who disagree with you, or maybe you feel God calling you to share but you’re like “what does that practically look like when I’m a photographer? Or a designer? Or a copywriter? Or bookkeeper?” Don’t worry - that’s what we are talking about today.

    If you missed last week’s episode, go back and listen because they go together! I shared four ways to bring your faith into your business there, and I am sharing four MORE ways today (that are completely different from last week).

  • 271 - 258: 4 Ways to Bring God into Your Business as a Christian Business Owner

    Today’s episode is inspired by a question I got over and over again in my audience survey last year because a lot of you guys are like me. You are a personal brand business or other type of business but you are not a ministry, and what you do may have literally nothing to do with your faith on paper, but you ARE a Christian business owner and your faith is an important part of who you are and how you show up in the world. It also informs the decisions you make in your business, both the big ones and the small ones. 

    But maybe you feel like your faith is a secret because you don't know if it's okay to share it as a business owner and you're worried you'll alienate clients or customers who disagree with you. OR - maybe you're feeling like God is calling you to share about your faith, but you're not sure what that looks like when you’re a photographer or a designer (for example!). 

    So in this episode, I'm sharing four ways to bring your faith in Christ into your everyday work life as a business owner. And stay tuned - we are also doing a part two of this next week where I'm sharing four more ways. Let’s get into it!

  • 270 - 257: 3 Things I WISH More People Understood About Their Website (From a Designer's Perspective!)

    What makes a great website? What makes a dud? 

    Besides all the obvious things like don’t make your text too small, don’t use 1,000 fonts at once, and things like that… What are the major keys?! 

    No matter what you do in your work, if you have a website, you should be asking yourself these questions. Today I’m sharing 3 things that I consider TOP things to making a great website, and people often miss them. 

    I’m calling these “strong opinions”, but this could also be called “unpopular opinions” because these aren’t said enough. I hope this short and sweet episode gives you some business and website ideas to run with!

  • 269 - 256: 10 Steps To Creating a Quiz Lead Magnet that SELLS Your Offers

    Are you looking to grow your email list this year? Quizzes have a MUCH higher conversion rate than the typical lead magnet, and in this episode, I'm walking you through EXACTLY how you can create one for your business!

    I've been creating quizzes since the beginning of 2018, so over five years now. Since then, I've made new quizzes, revamped quizzes, and helped other business owners make quizzes for their businesses through my quiz website template bundle for Showit.

    I get asked about creating a quiz lead magnet a lot because it can be tough to know where to get started. So in this episode, I'm taking you step by step (in tons of detail) through the quiz creation process that I've used to create high-converting quiz lead magnets that are also fun and help make sales in my business. And I want the same for you.

    But hey - before we get into all the step-by steps to create a quiz lead magnet, I want to make sure that you know I’ve created a quiz add-on template that can be added to ANY Showit website. With three results pages, over 10 quiz cover style options, a quiz embed page, and more, this will save you a TON of time getting your new quiz lead magnet set up.
