transition from freelancer to business owner and the challenges she
overcame. She started her business in March of 2014 because she
wanted remote flexibility, as well as more time and
freedom.

pros and cons of joining a Facebook Group. One of the greatest pros
is fostering community through sharing versus
posting.

people feel seen and not alone is not only popular, but it’s also
effective because it resonates with users.

and adjust your strategy when necessary.

touchpoints to convert a prospect into a
customer.

as an outlet and a way to reach out to other people who liked the
same things she did, and then she fell in love with the content
creation aspect.
- As a business owner, you should
be conscious of how much time you spend on social media and
creating content. Focus on your products, services, and networking.

your business.

should utilize on your social media platforms include relating to
users, educating users, and providing prospects with an
offer.
