In this course, you’ll learn how to transform your website into a true buying tool for your prospects and customers. By looking at the ways that digital consumers have changed, we’ll pull out some basic principles that you can apply to your website to make it perform better in search results, convert more visitors and sales, and ultimately get ever-closer to creating an online experience fit to be regarded as the WebMD of your industry.
This course is a great fit for leaders passionate about how they communicate online, sales and marketing managers and teams, and of course anyone who is responsible for making updates to any part of your website.
By the end, you’ll know how to look at any page of your website and find gaps and missed opportunities, how to gradually make improvements or redesign entire elements of the website, and ultimately ensure that any experience buyers have with you online transitions perfectly into actually doing business with you.
Before we get started, I want to clarify that this is not a course about visual web design or development. In fact, you might find after taking this course, that changing the visual layout of your site is the least of your concerns. Instead, we’re focusing exclusively on user experience as it relates to the information and functionality of your website.
If you’re down with that, let’s get started.

Zach - When you say an equal mix of text and video, do you mean that the same content that appears in text is replicated as video? Or are the two forms of content intended to be different?

You might be surprised by this fact, but email marketing has been around since before the introduction of the internet. Yeah, in fact, the very first marketing email was sent in 1978 by none other than Gary “The Father of Spam” Thuerk, Marketing Manager of Digital Equipment Corp. Gary used email via Arpanet (basically the forerunner to the internet) to promote their new DEC machines to 400 recipients. The email blast resulted in $13 million in sales. And email marketing has been a critical tool in every marketer’s tool bag ever since.
But just like with any medium of marketing, there will be marketers who exploit it and abuse it. Those who care more about open rates and click-through rates than they do about the actual people receiving their emails. And when they do this, they make the rest of us look bad.
Ultimately, the purpose of this course is to teach you how to use email marketing appropriately and responsibly so that you’re only sending emails to people who want your emails, who sign up to receive them.
This course is a great fit for beginners just getting started and intermediate marketers tired of sending emails that don’t get opened, don’t get clicked on, or get recipients to unsubscribe or mark them as spam.
Here you’ll learn the inbound approach to email marketing. We’ll cover what email marketing is, how to keep it inboundy, benefits of email marketing, how to grow your email contact database, and the different types of emails you can send to recipients (that they actually want to open).
By the end of this course, you’ll be an inbound email marketing padawan. Not quite a Jedi master (that’s for a later course), but well on your way to saving the universe from awful emails nobody ever wants to open or read.

Is your website forcing visitors to fill out a form to get a quote? Does it make them have to talk to someone before making a purchase?
Fact: Modern buyers don’t want to be sold to. They want to take ownership of their buying decision and know they’re making the best choice for themselves. Why do you think so many hide behind their computer screens rather than browsing (or braving) the aisles of their local stores?
Self-selection tools (think product match quizzes) transform your website experience to help buyers sell themselves. They help personalize a buyer’s experience on your website, making it not only easier but more enjoyable for them to make a purchase without needing to talk to someone on your team.
In this course, taught by IMPACT’s Chief Learning Officer Chris Duprey, you’ll learn everything you need to create this experience on your website, including:
- What exactly a self-selection tool is
- The different types of self-selection tools
- How self-selection tools can help shorten the sales cycle and improve website conversion rates by guiding buyers to their best options
- How to go about building your own self-selection tool
This course is a must-see for anyone in marketing, but especially those in sales, marketing, design, and user experience.

HubSpot is one of the most powerful marketing, sales, and service automation platforms on the market today.

It's making it impossible to leverage HubSpot for contact segmentation, marketing and sales automation, and database management. On top of that, it's so disorganized, I'm not sure I can trust the reporting and analytics."

In this course you'll learn:

For a content marketer, nothing is more frustrating than churning out content and seeing nothing come of it. Maybe it’s getting some likes on social media, maybe it’s pulling in some healthy traffic, but when it comes to leads and sales, if it’s leaving you high and dry, what’s the point?
For most businesses, it takes a year or more for inbound marketing to start showing real results, but it doesn’t have to. Though inbound and content marketing are long-term plays that compound over time, there is content you can create that has been shown to drive sales immediately. We call these topics “The Big 5” and we have seen their power work with hundreds of clients and companies over the past decade.
The Big 5 addresses the most urgent questions and concerns modern consumers have when making a purchase regardless of industry. They are the questions being searched online and, with the answers in hand, your sales team can tackle objections in their conversations head-on.
In this course, IMPACT+ Content Trainer, Kevin Phillips, talks you through what comprises The Big 5, how to execute them for your organization, and examples of them done well.
In this course, you will learn:
- Why each of the Big 5 is critical to content marketing success
- Specific nuances for writing each of the Big 5
- Examples of high-performing Big 5 articles in action
This course is for anyone struggling to see bottom line results from their content marketing and ready to build trust with their buyers by answering their most burning questions honestly.

So you hired a content manager, and you’re churning out high-quality, long-form articles on the reg, but still not seeing that killer organic traffic you need. With one of the only constants in life being Google’s algorithm updates, this is an all too common challenge.
As much as it pains us, the way we marketers used to “do SEO” no longer cuts it. How search engines map our content today is very different (and much more human) than it was when we all first started creating content marketing strategies or our companies and we need to cater to this. Enter topic clusters and pillar pages.
Organizing your content in a topic cluster and pillar page model will help:
- Your website be more organized, structured, and easier for users to navigate
- You spot new content priorities, opportunities, and gaps with ease
- Search engines like Google map your content more efficiently
- Your search rankings go up due to better visibility
But what is the topic cluster and pillar content model? How does it work and why? What do great pillar pages look like across different industries? How do you select your own topic cluster and pillar content topics? How do you develop an out-of-this-world, revenue-generating strategy for a pillar page? And how do you track the success of your topic clusters and pillar pages?
You'll find the answers to these questions (and much more) in this IMPACT+ Pro course with the mind behind IMPACT’s traffic and lead-generating pillar strategy, Liz Moorehead.
This course is ideally suited for content managers and digital marketers who are tasked with developing and executing robust content strategies that drive results for their company.

Extremely important, right? That question is a no-brainer.
