Today’s solo episode is the first of four business episodes set to come out on four consecutive Thursdays in March. The original recording is from Samantha’s “marketing school” facebook live session back in October of 2022. In it, she dives into how she carved her own path to success, and gives you five tips for generating more leads with your online businesses. It can be easy to fall into the trap of education, thinking that once you have more knowledge, or that stronger skillset, then people will start lining up to work with you—Samantha too used to fall into this line of thinking. Now on the other side, with plenty of clients to show for it, her biggest piece of advice is not to focus on education, but to, instead, pour your resources into sales and marketing. With Samantha’s five tried and true lead generation tips, may this episode mark the start of you establishing your own marketing prowess.
