How referrals work

You don't chase clients here.
They find you.

Referrals come from multiple directions — and they compound over time.

Your Expert Guide profile

Every listing is SEO-optimized so people searching for divorce professionals in your specialty find you directly — on Google and on our platform, which drives 40K+ page views per month.

Fresh Starts blog & content

Our blog posts — including profession-specific guides for divorce coaches, attorneys, mediators, and more — link directly to the Expert Directory. Warm traffic, not cold searches.

Social media (33K on Instagram)

Members can collaborate with us on Instagram content — reaching 33K engaged followers who are already thinking about divorce support. We're not just posting. We're converting.

Olivia's direct referrals

Most importantly: Olivia Dreizen Howell, Fresh Starts Registry's co-founder, personally connects people seeking support with the right experts every single day. That's not an algorithm. That's a human relationship pointing someone to you by name.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before joining.

How do referrals actually work?
Referrals flow from several directions: your SEO-optimized Expert Guide profile, Fresh Starts blog posts, social media, and most importantly from Olivia Dreizen Howell, Fresh Starts Registry's co-founder, who personally connects people seeking divorce support with the right experts every day. It's not an algorithm. It's a human being who knows the community and sends the right person to you by name.
Is Fresh Starts Registry only for divorce coaches?
Not at all. The Expert Directory includes divorce coaches, attorneys, mediators, therapists, financial advisors, real estate professionals, and more. If your work supports people going through divorce or major life transitions, there's likely a place for you here.
Is there a long-term commitment?
No. There's no required long-term commitment. That said, we encourage members to plan for at least 6 months — building trust with our audience takes time, and experts who stay longer consistently see stronger referral volume and community connections.
Can I host events and collaborate on social with Fresh Starts?
Yes to both — and both are open to all members, not just Premium. You can co-host workshops, webinars, and community sessions under the Fresh Starts umbrella. And you can collaborate with us on Instagram content reaching 33K followers. These tend to be the most underused benefits in the directory.
Can I upgrade from Essential to Premium later?
Yes. Start with Essential and upgrade whenever you're ready. Just email experts@freshstartsregistry.com and we'll handle it.
Do I need to attend events to benefit?
No — your listing works whether you show up to community sessions or not. That said, members who participate in networking, co-working, and events consistently build stronger referral relationships and see more organic growth. The infrastructure is there if you want to use it.
