I hadn’t planned to be an entrepreneur; for me it was something that I didn’t know I wanted to do until I was already doing it.
I grew up and lived in Southern California for most of my life. After 9/11 everything changed. In just one year, I was laid off, got married, moved across the country to North Carolina leaving my friends and family behind, and waved good-bye to my husband as he deployed to a war zone.
To make myself more marketable in my new state, I earned my real estate license and began working for a real estate office in 2006. I handled all the paperwork, but it didn’t keep me business enough so I started helping the agents with their Internet marketing.
After I left that job, I got calls from the agents who still needed my services so I continued to help them after I finished working my 9 to 5 job. Helping them was more fulfilling and fun than my day job so I made the leap to take my side activities to a full-time business.
Realizing the next wave of marketable skills was Social Media, I decided to take classes and focus my business there and founded PlayBig Online
Marketing. The majority of my Social Media clients were looking for someone to create a page or profile for them and it quickly became obvious to me that most of them had no concrete plan for actually marketing. To help them, I created the Social Media Strategy Session. My one-on-one session with small business owners focuses on developing a marketing strategy based on the business target market, where their target market ‘hangs-out’ online (not always where they think), and then training on how to use the Social networks.
PlayBig Online Marketing also offer the ‘soup-to-nuts’ solution; we can help business owners do it all, from building the strategy, building the pages and brand, to training and even implementation. As I continued to work with small business owners I noticed that they were very budget-conscious and wanted to do their own Social Media marketing but they lacked the knowledge of using the Social networks.
In response, I created the Easy Social Media Learning Center, a membership site that provides instruction on Social Media networks. My center shows small business owners via on-demand video how to use the networks to promote their business. All the videos explain in simple terms what to do and provide just 1-2 actionable items.
Although these videos are just 12 minutes long, they provide an in-depth understanding of the “why” as well as the “how” of marketing. In addition, every video has a downloadable .pdf that covers what was in the video.
Every month we add more videos and bonus materials and hosts a 1-hour Question and Answer webinar. All that value for a budget friendly $14.95 a month. Members of the Easy Social Media Learning Center also get a discount on a Social Media Strategy Session.
When I first started my business I was thinking of helping clients on a one-on-one basis, which was a mistake. By the Easy Social Media Learning Center, I’m able to help a lot more people and not be limited by my time. I decided to go for the ‘Wal-Mart’ model of business: bring value to more people for an affordable price.
