Free Training – How to Build Your Pageant Brand :)

Screen Shot 5

Hey Junkies!

I’m SOOOOOOOO EXCITED to offer this 3 part training series about Building Your Pageant Brand!

For those of you who are new to the Junkie Nation, please know this series was birthed by Junkies across the country who kept asking one thing…

“CARRIE – HOW THE HECK ARE YOU SO GOOD AT PREDICTING PAGEANT WINNERS???”

 

Lol – Well… in short, the answer is, I predict winners based on a contestant’s Pageant Brand.  In fact, this year, I identified 75% of the ladies who went on to win their state title, BEFORE the competition even started!  How?  By looking at their Pageant Brands!

So – If a Pageant Brand has the ability to launch you
into the Top 5 of your state competition, and potentially make you
a contestant at Miss America, don’t you think it’s important to
learn more about Pageant Branding?

 

That’s why this training was created.

And when you join our training series, you’ll learn the 11 Savvy Secrets of Pageant Branding, 5 Rookie Mistakes to Avoid, and hear me go into crazy amounts of detail as I tell you EXACTLY how I predict pageant winners based on a contestant’s Pageant Brand.

Click here to get the free training series – And if you’re already on the list, that’s fine… Just put in your email address again so you can watch the free training series – I promise you won’t get double the emails (Junkie-Pinky-Swear-Cross-My-Heart).

GET READY FOR PAGEANT JUNKIES UNIVERSITY!!!

PJU Logo

 

I’m SO EXCITED to tell you about Pageant Junkies University!!!

First off, you should know that PJU (as I like to call it) is an online tool that YOU helped create!  Here’s how it all went down…

So… Here I am… Just me and my silly laptop… Having a lovely time blissfully doing my little predictions thing… When I start getting all these emails and facebook messages and tweets, all asking the same thing…

 

“HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE GIRLS WHO MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS LISTS?”

 

We made a video to answer that question… Feel free to watch it here if you haven’t already…

Otherwise, to be honest, it’s a little hard to explain – but here goes…

Before you officially make my prediction list, I go through a process that begins with me looking into your pageant brand.  I search for blogs you’ve written, photos of you online, videos of you speaking or of your talent; anything I can find that will tell me more about the kind of person you are and whether or not you’re capable of winning a state title – strictly from what I see online.

Am I always right?  Nope.  But this year, 75% of the ladies who made my prediction list went on to win their state title.  So, even though I’m not always right – it turns out I CAN accurately predict who’s going to win their state title (3 out of 4 times), based solely on their online Pageant Brand alone.

Which then caused people to ask me a different question…

 

“IF I WORK ON MY PAGEANT BRAND, WILL I HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING A STATE TITLE?”

 

That answer, is a whole-hearted, enthusiastic, YES!!!

If you work on your pageant brand, it will ABSOLUTELY increase your chances of winning your state title… Why?  Because you will be doing the work that prepares you to BE a state title holder!

So, inevitably, the next question is…

 

“WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO IMPROVE/CHANGE/UPDATE MY PAGEANT BRAND?”

 

And that, my fellow Junkies, is what leads us to Pageant Junkies University!

At Pageant Junkies University, we’re going to teach you how to focus your personal Pageant Brand so that you’re one step closer to winning your next title.  And right now, we have a few different resources available for you:

PJU Free Resources:

Additionally – We recently created a FREE TRAINING SERIES all about “Why you need a Pageant Brand”.  Check it out by clicking this link and you’ll get the training instantaneously!!!

Finally – If you’re ready to join us – you can click this link to see the courses we currently have available!  Right now, you can enroll in the “Build Your Pageant Brand” course, or “The Interview Course” … However – just know PJU enrollment is only open for a limited time!
