Today’s episode kicks off a 3-part series all about how you don’t have to be an influencer. I decided to do this series of episodes because I work with many people who run solid service-based businesses who have expressed to me that they feel like the only way their business can remain viable is if they force themselves into the influencer mold. In part 1 I am looking at what that mold actually is; If we examine what an influencer is through the lens of it as a business model, we can begin to tease apart if it truly does or does not benefit us and our work lives.

EP 2: What About Social Media for Marketing?

We think tiny (but mighty) service-based businesses are what makes life good for millions of people. And we want them to be supported in that. On the show we're exploring work, money, and the 21st century economy. 

If you’re here you might be self-employed, a freelancer, or an entrepreneur with a small team and the things you make come from your heart with an earnest intent to make things better for the people your business serves. 

We’re so glad you take such good care of your clients. And… we want to make sure you get taken good care of too so that you can keep helping your people instead of finding yourself under-resourced and burnt out.

That’s why we make it easy for VSB’s (fun acronym for Very Small Businesses yay!) to focus on profitability without any of the “get rich quick/hustle culture” ick.
