Websites 101 - Do You NEED One??? With Chronicpreneur Jackie Zimmerman
Jackie Zimmerman works HARD. After receiving not one but two chronic illness diagnoses in her 20s (Multiple Sclerosis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease), she turned to the internet to find a way to cope and build a support system. She became a professional blogger and public speaker, and later formed a nonprofit to uplift women living with Inflammatory Bowel disease.
Through the process of blogging and developing communities, Jackie honed her skills in digital communications by learning to design websites, create brand recognition and build online courses. She has now turned those into a full-time career in her digital marketing company Queen of GSD (Getting Shit Done).
In this conversation, Jackie shares her digital marketing expertise and offers some top tips for chronicpreneurs about whether they need a website for their business and how to get it made even if they are afraid of tech.
