Before you write your 2026 marketing plan, read this.

Another 50-page strategy deck won't help you
if your team can't execute it.

The #1 reason marketing plans fail isn't a lack of ideas.
It's a lack of connection to daily work.

If you want 2026 to be different,
you need to build the bridge between your plan and your team's priorities.

Here's the 5-step framework to make that happen:
1. Objectives: From vague goals to 3-5 key results.
2. Timeline: From annual pressure to weekly sprints.
3. Actions: From a long to-do list to 2-3 daily priorities.
4. Ownership: From group confusion to individual accountability.
5. Accountability: From monthly check-ins to a consistent daily rhythm.

Please don't start 2026 with another plan that is going to collect dust.

Start it with a system for execution.

What's your biggest goal for your marketing team in 2026?

Strategic Landing Pages That Make You Look Premium, Sell Better & Stay Top-of-Mind

What if your website's conversion rates doubled?

I've analyzed over 100 websites and discovered a common issue: their conversion rates were alarmingly low.

Why?

Was it due to their poor design? Hell yes!!!

You might wonder about the role of design in conversions, but remember, it's the first impression.

If your website design doesn't hook the visitors, they never scroll. That means no scroll -> no interest in your offer, and that's how your conversion rates drop.

But fear not, I won't let your conversions stay low and make you feel sad.

Here's how I can help you:

If you don't have a website yet, congratulations! You're in the right place. I'll craft a website that looks stunning and boost your personal brand, which means more $$$.

OR

If you have a website but it isn't converting, what's stopping you? I'm here to revamp and optimize it for stellar conversion rates.

And 

If you're in need of a landing page to:

- Showcase your Offer
- Increase Newsletter sign-ups
- Schedule more appointments through sales pages

So why wait? Let's create one for you NOW. 

Each month I work with 5 Creators/Founders. 

Act now before all seats are booked! To do so, simply go to my 'Featured Section' and book a 1:1 discovery call or you can DM me to see if we're good fit.

Do you have $10K to build your website?

If not, you’re not alone.

Most founders I meet think they need to invest $5K, $8K, or even $10K on a “full website.”

But what if I told you that you actually don’t need to invest that much money?

There’s a way that costs less and delivers 2-3x better results.

That is: build a landing page.

But, but, but… only if you have one clear offer OR your services are interconnected.

That’s why I created Webrahim LaunchCore, my streamlined, high-converting landing page offer.

And the best part? You don’t need to wait months (like when you hire someone to build a website and it drags on forever).

Here’s what things will look like once I onboard you:

Day 1: You get a Google form with all the right questions
Day 2: You fill it out, fast and easy
Day 3: I analyze your answers + research your audience
Day 4: I plan your layout and conversion-focused sections
Day 5: I write the entire copy (with voice-of-customer magic)
Day 6: You review → I refine
Day 7: Design kicks off
Day 8: Final tweaks and design approval
Day 9: Development day, fully functional build
Day 10: Final test, final polish, and launch day
Day 11: You now have a page that sells for you, 24/7
Day 12: You start recommending me everywhere 😏

So if you’re serious about attracting the right audience… 

don’t wait months to launch the page that sells for you.

Let’s get it done and done right.

DM me “Launch Core” and I’ll handle the rest.

LaunchCore

From a marketing perspective, the first thing you should worry about isn’t colors, fonts, animations, or sections.

It’s this:

Can people scan your content and understand what the hell you do in under 5 seconds?

Because people don’t read websites or landing pages.

They scan them.

But here’s where most websites go wrong:

→ center-aligned paragraphs
→ random blocks of text
→ headlines floating without hierarchy
→ sections fighting for attention
→ no visual path for the eye to follow

And when your layout ignores the scanning patterns?

Your message dies.

Which means they don’t stay long enough to understand you.

And people don’t buy what they don’t understand.

This is the real marketing secret:

If your website isn’t scannable, it can’t sell.

But when it is, it becomes your top salesperson.

If you want a website (or landing page) that’s built with real buyer psychology, not random design trends.

DM "Launch" and I’ll send you the details.

A Landing Page Truth You Must Never Forget

Money can buy you traffic… but it can’t buy you the will to live after seeing that 0.5% conversion rate.

And if you’ve ever refreshed your analytics 14 times in one day,
hoping the numbers magically change,
you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Because here’s the part most founders don’t admit:

You’re not struggling because you don’t have traffic.

You’re struggling because your landing page isn’t saying anything.

Not to the right people.
Not at the right moment.

And definitely not in a way that makes them trust you.

So instead, you get:

→ visitors who bounce in 3 seconds
→ leads that ghost before the call
→ DMs from people who aren’t even close to your ideal client
 → “curious but not ready” conversations that drain your team
→ and the emotional breakdown that comes from realizing…


The problem isn’t your offer, it’s the page representing it.

And the painful part?

You built all this traffic.
You invested in content, ads, brand, team.


But the ONE page meant to convert all of it
is confusing people instead of converting them.

That’s the real cost most founders never calculate.

But it doesn’t have to stay like this.

Because once your landing page is clear, intentional, and built around your buyer psychology, everything changes:

→ visitors actually understand what you do
→ your best prospects feel “seen” instantly
→ call bookings go up without posting more
→ budgets increase
→ sales cycles shorten
→ and you start attracting people who ALREADY trust you before the call even starts

That’s what a high-converting landing page does.

It saves you from spending another dollar on traffic you can’t convert.

It gives you a message that actually lands.

 
And it turns your business back into something you enjoy, not something you babysit.

If you’re done watching traffic burn and you’re ready for a landing page that finally converts the way your business deserves…

I’m opening 3 slots for next month (booked in November).

DM “Launch” and I’ll send you the details.

Here’s exactly how much “story + structure” your landing page needs to turn your reputation into revenue.

Most founders don’t need a new offer.

They just need their landing page to say the thing their reputation already proves.

Here’s the exact structure to make that happen 👇

1️⃣ Start with a “this is who I help” headline

Skip the clever lines.
Say the result.
Say who it’s for.

Make it impossible to misunderstand.

2️⃣ Add the 10-second story that builds trust

One simple paragraph.

Not a life story, a relevance story (PLEASE).

Answer:

What problem do you solve?
Why you?
Why now?

This is the story that makes strangers stay.

3️⃣ Show the proof immediately

Your reputation means nothing if it’s hidden.

Drop 3-5 pieces of proof:

wins
metrics
well-known clients
screenshots
mini case studies (2-3 lines each)

Proof is the shortcut to trust.

4️⃣ Break down your process in 3-4 steps

People buy clarity.

Show how working with you works.

Simple, visual, no fluff:

Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Result

If your process makes sense, your offer feels safer.

5️⃣ Add the “dream outcome section”

Speak to what they secretly want:
 
less stress
predictable leads
faster conversions
confidence in how they show up online

This is where your story becomes their story.

6️⃣ Make the offer stupidly clear

Packages confuse.

Outcomes convert.

Tell them:
 
what’s included
the timeline
the exact deliverables
what they walk away with

No mystery → higher conversions.

7️⃣ Finish with one simple CTA

Not aggressive.
Not pushy.
Just aligned.

When your story meets the right structure,
your landing page stops being a page and 
starts becoming a revenue system.

I’m opening 3 slots for next month (booked in November) to build high-converting landing pages in 7-9 days - copy, design & dev included.

DM “Launch” if you want one of them.
