It is so easy to get overwhelmed when trying to devise a plan to make your social media not only work for you, but also to prepare your business to be more profitable. What if we could put you through a social media bootcamp and tell you EVERYTHING we know?

Well, lucky you, that’s what’s about to go down.

We have rounded up every tip, trick and secret to not only up your marketing game, but to give you tools to get started right now. Grab a cup of coffee and a notebook, and clear your space of distractions. We have a feeling you might be here for a while so put on some cozy socks and throw that hair up into a top knot. Let’s get to business.

Pinterest can be pretty overwhelming, especially if you started pinning long before you started your own business. Instead of ditching your account, capitalize on the content you do have and (re)fall in love with Pinterest all over again. Today we will cover how how to go from Pinterest “hater” to Pinterest-proud and give you tips on how you can too!

Let’s face it: Instagram is a money making machine that we business owners can’t live without.

If you are a product-based business, you should be on Instagram. You can throw any and all arguments at me and I will try to still convince you that you need it. It’s is the easiest and cheapest (free!) way to market to your target audience and ideal clients. However, you want to make sure you are using Instagram effectively and efficiently in order to utilize its benefits. (Our gal pals at TCC have a course on this!)

f you are a gal like me, you like to save that money, honey! I'm so honored to have the opportunity to share to share the secrets on creating a stylish blog for under twenty dollars (yes, it's possible!) with new bloggers.

If you've read my previous post: "The Broke Girl's Guide to Starting a Blog" you may remember me talking a little bit about how I created a really cute blog that cost me the equivalent of what I pay for at Starbucks in a week. Of course going with a pro is always the best option. I got nothing but love for those amazing website developers! But if you want to start a blog and the cash is lookin' a little low, there is a way for you to still have an impressive, user-friendly website on a budget.

Have you heard that a book is a great tool with which to scale your business? Then you’ve heard correctly! I’ve seen firsthand what a book can do for a small business owner and firmly believe that not only should you write a book, but you need to.

Let’s face it: You’re an expert in your industry. You’re asked questions all the time — and you know the answers.

All that sounds good to most small business owners and creative entrepreneurs — what’s not to like, right? — and they start to think it’s something they should do. Then they realize that they don’t know a thing about the book publishing industry. 

One of our favorite aspects of working with clients was getting to see them in-person while we talked about their project. We loved getting to visualize the end result with them, get them super pumped up about the outcome, and making them feel part of the entire process. So what did we do when we stopped taking on 1:1 clients and worked towards a “1:many” model with “clients” from all over the world?

Hate is a strong word. But sometimes, a job is THAT bad. If it is, you’ve got no business “sticking-it-out.”

Before starting my business, I was stuck in a toxic work environment. I didn’t leave because I didn’t think I could. I became someone I didn't recognize - stressed all the time, negative, and just plain unhappy.
