Self Paced PBA (One Payment of $250)

Personal Brand Accelerator is a 12-lesson transformational program that teaches you how to discover your purpose, clarify your message, and communicate with confidence online. 

What’s inside?

Lesson 1 - Write Your Personal Brand Story
A compelling story moves your audience to take action. PBA will help you uncover your personal brand story and position this as the anchor for your brand and business.

Lesson 2 - Unveil Your Authentic Self
You may have heard the word, ‘values’ thrown around quite frequently, but have you ever paused to consider what yours might be? Have you ever wondered what living a value-driven life actually looks like? In Lesson Two, you will determine your core values and discover your Enneagram personality type. Here you’ll learn the heights you are capable of reaching while shedding light on the areas of your life that are weaker and underdeveloped.

Lesson 3 - Write the Copy for Your Personal Website
Without the right copy, your audience will be left feeling confused—and you'll be wondering where you went wrong. PBA will teach you how to position yourself as an industry expert by writing compelling messaging that will convert your audience into followers, clients, and/or customers.

Lesson 4 - Create Your Visual Identity
Your visual identity, such as color, typography, and shape, encapsulate meaning that cannot be conveyed through words alone. PBA will teach you how to create a cohesive brand aesthetic that you can use across your website and social media profiles consistently.

Lesson 5 - Plan Your Personal Brand Photoshoot
The photos on your website and social media profiles shape the way your personal brand looks and feels. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to select the right Personal Brand Photographer for you and plan a custom photo session that accurately represents who you are and what you do. You’ll even learn Anna’s best practices for feeling confident in front of the camera.

Lesson 6 - Build Your Personal Website
A personal website is like the hub of your online presence. PBA will teach you to structure your personal website and write copy that converts your audience into clients and customers. You can’t find this framework and formula anywhere else.

Lesson 7 - Refine Your Personal Website
Your website is an ever-evolving representation of your authentic self. This week, you’ll work with the PBA staff to refine and edit your website so you’re happy with the finished product.

Lesson 8 - Optimize Your Social Media Profiles
Your social media profiles are what drive traffic back to your personal website. PBA will show you how to improve your profiles so you can stand apart from the crowd, make a killer first impression, and inspire your audience to take action.

Lesson 9 - Create Authentic Content
Now that you’ve built and improved your digital assets, it’s time to learn the art of self-expression. PBA will show you how to share yourself with the world. Self-expression is a blend of sharing your life, marketing your brand, and telling your personal story.

Lesson 10 - Join the PBA Challenge
The success of your personal brand is directly related to the amount of content your personal brand (A.K.A. YOU) produces. Now that you have tried your hand at different styles of content creation, PBA will show you how to start sharing your creations with the world.

Lesson 11 - Manage Your Personal Brand Long Term
Personal branding is a marathon. PBA will provide you with strategies for managing your personal brand over the long term for long-term success.

What People Are Saying:

“I think this program is excellent, and the time and effort that have gone into providing a streamlined experience do not go unnoticed! This is a great program for people who want to use social media as a tool to grow and build a business.”

Brigid Shivers

“When joining PBA, try not to have any expectations, because it will surpass any expectations you had. PBA surprised me in ways I didn't think possible in a program. I have discovered parts of myself that I wasn't even aware of. I have come out of PBA stronger, more resilient, more courageous, and more confident. I am proud of who I am and how I got here, and PBA gave me that clarity. PBA will show you doors and opportunities you didn't even think about. If you are having any doubts, take the leap, PBA will change your life. You may not know what you want to do, and that is fine, PBA will help define anything in your life you need help defining. If anything, PBA will help you find YOU. PBA is a program I will always recommend.”

Layla Algosaibi

“PBA completely exceeded my expectations. I came into it completely lost with what I wanted to do next in my career and what my purpose was, and now I have much more clarity on what truly matters to me and how to bring that into fruition. The support they provide is invaluable and the information is GOLD. Even better, I get to be a part of this incredibly resourceful & supportive community now for years to come. Thank you PBA!!”

Amanda Holstein

“Whether you have your own business, project ideas you hope to build off of, or are simply starting from ground zero, PBA is an incredible course. It helps adults build their confidence to authentically follow their dreams. Throughout the course, you’re given safe and supportive space to create both an online image and in-person presence that reflects the deepest pieces of who you are. I couldn’t recommend this course enough.”

Breda Bosch

“I loved PBA! It was literally my life line these past few months. I learned so much about myself. I also found the education so invaluable- each week built upon the last seamlessly. I feel PBA was perfect in helping me define my what it is I wanted to do."

Christine Short

“I would tell someone if you're on the verge of creating something unique to you, a business, blog, content, and you're second guessing yourself, stuck on a step (for me it was my website) and looking to connect with others who are doing the same then join PBA. I love that it's lifetime access. It takes pressure off individuals who may already be struggling with blockages. I feel like I started off so strong and really dove into creating my story which was the confidence boost I needed to push past building my website which is where I had been stuck for months. I slowed down towards the last few weeks but I still felt that I was part of the team, and gaining valuable information for continuously building my brand. I left with a beautiful new website where I was able to launch my book and merch."

Rebecca Olmos

“If you’re ready to gain clarity of self and not sure where to start, PBA is for you. I have learned so much about myself. It’s one thing to feel something but to be able to easily identify what that something is, is a game changer. PBA helped me identify parts of myself and because of that I am more self- aware and protective of my space and time. PBA has empowered me to get paid for who I am and not just what I do. I am incredibly thankful for Anna and PBA because I am forever changed.”

Krissy Smith

“My experience was so life-changing. Even if you are slightly interested, take that first clarity call. In the end, I saw so much growth from everyone. Even if they didn't settle on one idea, they knew what they didn't want and that in itself is a huge win. PBA provides the space to explore and be earnest.”

Nicole Martinez

“The amount of confidence I have gained in knowing the value of my experience and what I have to offer from PBA is worth the commitment. Do it! It will change your life!”

Stephanie Dowd

“I would say this course has done wonders for me. It has shifted my perspective on being able to see my passions, opened my eyes to creativity and content, and I’ve learned the back end of building a brand. Having this knowledge you really see branding and business differently because you know the work that goes into it. I consider myself lucky to have gone through this course because I gave myself a chance to step outside of the box.”

Olga Salazar

It will be the best investment you'll ever make for yourself. Even though I went through PBA feeling lost about what I wanted to do, it ultimately led me to the best idea I've ever had and gave me the support I needed to get to this idea. It was everything I needed. PBA will forever be one of my greatest accomplishments and will always hold a special place in my heart!

Julia Fracassa

“I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I signed up, but my gut told me to do it. It was the right decision - learning about myself.”

Shannon Stafford

“If fear is holding you back, PBA will be an incredible resource for you to remember your power and purpose and allow you to show up in a way that makes you proud!”

Keyaira Lock Adewunmi

Anna has a real talent for pulling meaning out of your passion and talent and then formulating a compelling mission statement that strings it all together. Personal Brand Accelerator not only taught me exactly how and why to show up for my audience but it also taught me a lot about myself. There is this real empowering piece to PBA that brings your ideas and identity to life in a way I've only ever experienced working with Anna. Since clarifying my messaging and implementing her strategies I've increased traffic across all of my profiles, captivated and connected with my ideal target client like never before, and ultimately am able to help more people because of it which is the ultimate goal. I am so thankful for PBA and Anna!

Erin Jasper

Working with Anna has been a total game changer in regard to how I'm perceived online. It's amazing how I'm still the same person, with the same background, yet receive far more press and business inquiries. She has encouraged and empowered me to share the more personal aspects of my life on social media, which has opened the door for more opportunities and healthier business relationships. I'm now able to attract people who value me as an individual, not just a service provider.

Terry Rice

PBA is the most transformational course I've ever taken. From the moment I started working with Anna, it was clear to me that she knew what she was an expert and was genuinely interested in my growth as an entrepreneur. Coming into PBA, I thought I knew what I was trying to say to my audience. But the first thing the course taught me how to do was discover what was truly at the heart of the message I wanted to communicate, and how to go about doing that in a way that was authentic and true to me. The course helped me hone and refine my message and solidified the vision I have for the business. The course materials are simple but impactful and gave me a clear roadmap each week to work from. I gained an incredible amount of confidence from working with Anna and her team. I would highly recommend the course to any entrepreneur who's purpose driven and wants to use the power of a personal brand to build an exceptional business and change the world.

Drew Amoroso

Anna carries herself with grace, confidence, and strength. She has been a guiding light on my journey of self-discovery by helping me thoughtfully and intentionally craft my personal story. From website design to visual branding to copywriting strategizing, Anna is an expert at genuinely and tangibly capturing vision and identity. In a few short months, Anna has become a someone I deeply admire and cherish.
