Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie | Social Media Management & Strategy

One Year of Owning a Content Studio


Listen Later

It's been one year of owning my own content studio in Auckland Mackenzie Studios, and boy have I learnt some lessons along the way!

  • Having to hand-hold customers who don't read your FAQs!
  • Being challenged with imposter syndrome and self doubt - even though I've already done so much work on myself in this area
  • All the maintenance costs that come with owning a physical business vs an online business. Body Corp fees anyone?
  • Setting the business up with a recurring income - memberships!
  • Write. Out. Your. SOPs! (Standard Operating Procedures) Trust me when I say this will help avoid miscommunication 
  • Have the capital to invest from the beginning - you will have overheads before you start making an income.
  • I have really enjoyed chatting about this past year and the lessons I've learnt along the way. Please let me know if you would like to hear more episodes like this. Reach out via my DMs or please leave an Apple Review or Subscribe on Spotify.

    Have a great week guys!
