Prefer to feast your eyes instead of your ears?

I’ve gotchu! You can watch over on my YouTube channel!

Here are the questions I answered:

Lorrie: How do you plan out your week?

Maya: Do you really only work ten hours per week? Does this include your arty work (or do you not consider this ‘work’)? What DO you consider work – how about learning and developing your business? Would love to know 🙂

Misty: If you had to build your community (and biz) from scratch in today’s current climate, how would you approach it? What would your first step, or top 3 tips be?

Celise: How do you work 10 hours a week without social media? Is this for businesses that are already established? I feel like, for someone starting out new like I am, I would HAVE to use SM right now to find clients.

Brittany: Did you slowly decrease posting on social media or completely stop cold turkey?

Nora: How do you deal with negative feedback and critics in the work field?

Sarah: How do you spend your 10 hours a week working?

  • What steps would you tell a new online business owner to take to start and grow their business?
  • What tasks do you delegate to your assistants?

Jasmine: I’ve literally just left my job to start life as a biz owner; what’s your number 1 tip?! What’s your advice for someone who loves creating and is scared of marketing?

Sunshine: Do you think you’d be where you are in your business if you HADN’T created the following you did in social media? 

  • Do you think people can use your Marketing Without Social Media and create the kind of results that could sustain a 1M+/year business if they’ve never done social media (or not done it to the level you have)? (I promise these are all asked in love – because I always wonder about it like the chicken and egg scenario.)

Rachael: What are your best tips for building a community of raving fans?
