Beyond 'Company of One': A Conversation with Paul Jarvis
What happened to Paul Jarvis, the author of the successful book 'Company of One' and the popular 'Sunday Dispatches' newsletter? In our heartfelt conversation he shares an update and we talk about running values-driven internet companies, integrity, being an introvert, social media, and impacting change from the inside out.
Paul Jarvis is also the co-founder of Fathom Analytics, a great alternative for website owners who want simpler analytics that are fully privacy compliant. If you use Fathom you don't need the pesky cookie banner, either! (That's one of my favorite things about it).

    Thanks for the honest review Kerstin. This is exactly my experience after trying out Sqaurespace vs Kajabi.

Thanks again!

    Hi Kerstin, I build my self my website with squarespace. Since this morning I try to add a new email adress with another name, like they says "pro". So, I try to redirect my possibly new email to gmail. In this video, the points it's not for that right? What I understand in your video, it's to change the actuel email for another one but it won't redirect in my gmail? Thank you! I am so confused since this morning. And I don't want to add google workspace either for now. I just want to redirect a professionnal email to my gmail account. If I do what you says, our new email will be the only one, right? and it will automatically change in mailchimp and in every forms on my website? I am french also, so I might misunderstood your video 🤦‍♀ Many many thanks!!!

    • @KerstinMartin

      Hi Julie! Yes, I think what you are referring to is different. In my video I talk about customer accounts, so people who have an account on your website and who want to change their email address in their account. I think you mean just your own email with your own Squarespace account? To redirect an email to Gmail you’d do that in your Gmail account; you basically connect the professional email to your Gmail. I don’t use Gmail so don’t know how to do that but you can probably Google that.

    Hi Kerstin, thank you for this recommendation in your AMA session today. I was planning to use one size of USPS medium flat rate boxes and free USPS labels handwritten to start with. Instead of $18 from post office , with Pirate ship it would be $16! I read the comments which are great, and I only have one remaining question: can I use Pirateship if I am not using the Dymo printer? It is too costly to lay out right now. Can I print a label on my Epsom printer, or hand write label on the USPS label and still get the discount? (I looked for a FAQ and help on site but don't see it). Hope this question is clear enough! (P.S.: I will be manually inputting on Basic Commerce plan also to save money for now). Thank you in advance. I am in awe of your expertise!

    A on demand course structure has been established, which we'll call Class Number One. The objective is to start Class Number Two (which covers the same material) after completing Class Number One. It's important to ensure that access to all course material is not granted simultaneously for Class Number Two. This sequential approach to course access encourages a structured learning pathway, which helps students to focus and understand each successive class better.

I love it because it integrates easily with the rest of my website, including my courses. Styling is also so much nicer and easier. Campaigns works well for my 'Calm Email Marketing' framework. It's also more cost-effective for larger lists. I am happy to stick with Campaigns and looking forward to the improvements this year.

    You ARE INCREDIBLE for making this video, MANY MANY THANKS!! I was trying to figure out how to do this today, and as soon as Google led me to your video, I breathed a sigh of relief (I follow your newsletter and have been lucky enough to also learn other website info from you). THANK YOU!

    hi there, I have pasted the code into 5 pages and the sidebar shows perfect. However, when I am pasting it into more pages, these shows the sidebar twice … how could that be please? same code, same type of page … I simply cannot figure out why

    Really appreciate the cost breakdown. I build on both platforms (Kajabi and Squarespace) and agree with the pros and cons you outlined. I have a client who wants to offer courses and was trying to make the best recommendation to her. This video tipped the scales. Thanks for the video!

    Thank you for this, Kerstin. Will SS still send out course follow-up emails to new course participants if we don't purchase the SS email campaign option?

      Squarespace will only send the purchase confirmation if you're not on Campaigns. I think if you're on the advanced commerce plan you can connect to ConvertKit and use that to send welcome and follow-up emails. It's not possible to connect purchases to any other email platform, Campaigns is the only way. I've been using Campaigns for years and I love it!

    Please correct me if I'm wrong... It appears that, since you made this video, Squarespace no longer differentiates between Courses and Member Areas and now has one price for both. The unfortunate thing about this is that Member Areas were available to people on 7.0 (like me) and now I have to upgrade to 7.1 and pay a very high monthly digital add-on fee, just to add a Member Area and one course.

      I think you can still use Member Sites (formerly Member Areas) with 7.0, just not the new Courses features. Try it out, see if you can add a Member Site on your 7.0 website.
