Quotes
“A lot of people are branding themselves and don't even have a business name and there's nothing wrong with that.”
“Don't get caught up on trying to be everywhere on every single platform and trying to be super active on all of them. Pick one or two that are going to be your main focus and become an expert at that platform.”
“When it comes to branding, you're going to want to pick a color palette that you like that jives with you.”
“Just because you create a website does not mean that anybody's going to find it or visit it. It just doesn't work that way unless you have become a guru in search engine optimization and chances are, that's not the case.”
“Now your social media is your website. They want to see what type of a platform you have, what community you've built, how you're behind the scenes like that. That's really, what's getting traffic now, especially if you're going to be a future author, a public speaker, it's all about building a platform on social media, not how many people are going to your website.”
