With the advent of social media platforms, it’s easier to market yourself online, but too many digital creators make the mistake of building their online empire on rented land, aka your Instagram account, and not also investing in your own website.
You can’t control what you don’t own. This is why I strongly advocate using your social following as a catalyst for building your own platform outside of social media, where you truly own your content and your income.
I launched my first business, Effortless Glam, a hair extensions boutique.
I met my first client at a bar and got paid $300 to build their website.
I quit my 9-5 job working as an insurance agent to pursue my web design business full-time.
