This was so relatable! I recently quit my job as an IT Technician at a large Co-Working company. I had the same thoughts, "this is the perfect job, but I'm stressed out and not having fun with it anymore" then Tai Lopez Social Media Marketing Agency course came out and I took the leap! It's been one month now and I don't have a client yet, but it's because I'm not adding enough value. I'm going to stop thinking about it and be about it! Thank you for sharing your story. 👏

Priskit leverage work(tasks) or knowledge(info) for referrals and testimonials. take mini free consults giving out content. watch how tai lopez gives out content for free then asks for the sale down the line. within the consult assess the need express your fee. but always give first.

Joy Michelle Photography a good book ive come across that has pretty awesone stuff that uses examples through out is called Jab jab jab right hook. gives a good road map on how to use all the different current social platforms with real life examples. id suggest hitting a bookstore if they have ut skimming through it and if it's what you need you could order it online if necessary. hope that helps.

Hi Kimberly - Happy Holidays! Before starting a Social Media Marketing Agency / Digital Marketing Agency / Consulting Agency and or doing any type of freelance work, what type of company do you recommend setting-up - LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp, Ltd., sole-proprietorship with DBA, partnership, other? Why do you recommend that type of company or corporation?

This is so great! You’re so beautiful and well spoken! Thank you!!

Great video Kim! Ive listened to many videos as Im trying to get started in SMMA, but yours is a very unique story. Very relatable. Question for you, do you do videos or marketing in spanish online as well, and if so do you think that would be effective? Ive been thinking of multi-lingual marketing as well.

I loved this video!!! I'm currently stepping into the Marketing world and my story is similar to yours. I'm going to school for Nursing and Psychology but my sister started a business that I'm helping her with and I had the opportunity to build up my college's social media. Your story is really inspiring because I feel like I'm in a confused space with doing so many different things but this video shows me to just flow with the process and work hard things will work out. Also, your father-in-laws quote gave me life lol

You're advice is so spot on. I am so passionate about social media ever since I completed my marketing internships. Now that I've graduated I want to provide services to help business and entrepreneurs to market them selves. I will start small helping friends and families and work my way to gaining actual clients. Thank you so much Kimberly for your advice. I spent hours searching for someone who could be mentor to start this and you are my #goals I look forward to buying your course next time I get paid.

Hi Kimberly, Thank-You SO Much for sharing your experiences and insights! I appreciate them quite a bit. As I am starting up my business I find myself having a difficult time choosing to release my content under my name or my LLC name. The point I am having difficulty with is I have networked in my community and across the U.S. using my name for the last 26 years. However, that was with my former company and now that I'm launching my own business I'm inclined to release my content under my LLC. Any advice???

Hey Kim! Awesome vid.. was wondering what was your business? What kind of business was it when you first started? Thanks

This is very inspiring! Please keep making these kind of videos it very helps! THANK YOU

Hey! Did you create an LLC for your business at the very start while you had a few clients? Is it possible to get in trouble legally if you don't? Great content.

Ive had this idea for a long time but the thing is my personal economy isn't so good atm. So I was wondering how should you do with the ad cost for example if you take on a client for free? Should I personally pay for it or should they?

Thank you so much for making this video! I am in my second year of university and (try to) social media manage my boyfriend's digital marketing business. I have realised, whilst helping him with it, that actually I really enjoy social media managing and the feeling of reward when something good comes out of it for him. Your journey was so interesting and inspiring to listen to. Based on this video, I am sure that social media managing is a route I would like to go down, once I have finished my degree (which is completely irrelevant to social media, oops!).

Ariel Hemingway Great question, Ariel. I don't regret not changing my major. I love nutrition and have been able to implement everything I learned in my entrepreneurial journey. Owning a business is really challenging and thanks to what I learned in school my hubby and I know how to fuel our bodies correctly. However, I did take as many business classes as I could. My major actually required them as part of the curriculum and that helped me lay a solid foundation for my business. Hope this helps!

Or maybe I should forget about sleeping and make content in both languages? How did you choose between english and spanish? 2.- Just curious, how old are you? Again, thank you very much

Hi Kim, I'm new to your channel and this is the first video of yours that I've seen. I just wanted to let you know that this video is the most informative and inspirational video on the topic that I've found thus far. As a sophomore in college I too began on the path dietetics, but quickly realized that my passion for media and writing is greater than my passion for nutrition and switched my major to Communications in Broadcast & Digital Media. I started my own blog in January just to test the waters and see if I can handle such a task, but it's hardly grown for the last seven months. I really want to make a career for myself in media management, but I'm afraid that if I can't even create momentum for my own blog then I'll never be able to build myself up in the marketing world. Do you have any advice for me on how I should move forward or what I can do in terms of schooling to progress towards my goal? Thanks!

Happy for you. Keep up the great work & thanks for sharing . 💪🏿

Hi Kim! :) I'm Dustin! Thank you so much for all your content, and tips. I just watched several hours of your videos today on how to become successful at internet marketing, and building a brand for ones self on Facebook. I'm a newbie in marketing when it comes to Facebook, ( I do have some experience, but it ended in failure but that's good because it means I'm learning :-) and I've tried using KZread in the past with ad words and ended up just costing me money with no results in failing as well, probably because I don't know what I'm doing lol I am at the point where I'm trying to just be a sponge and learn something new each and every day. I like what you said which really struck a-cord in my heart when you said "not to quit your day job so fast that has benefits and perks just to take on a new job with internet marketing if you haven't really found your groove yet sort of speak." As much as I would love to quit my day job I also Have to think logically for now at least until I can move from something good like they to something great which I definitely agree with:-) I've tried to create a Facebook fan page in the past but it didn't really work out but am going to try again using your insight. I feel it is really important to surround myself with mentors or experts in the field to learn from them first before just winging it out there from past failures. Recently I've been learning and creating my own sales funnel and trying to build adds for it with how to videos from other leaders out there. I would love to show you my sales funnel link and get your expertise on how you think it can be improved to get more sales with it as an affiliate marketer. Let me know if I can send you the link? Thanks again!

Hi Kim - Don't you have to have quite some experience when doing this type of business though? I mean why would I handle my social media page to someone who has no idea what he is doing?

I want to hire an individual in my area with your skills. Someone who can be a freelance producer/marketer/actress. Where are you located out of curiosity? Also do you have any advice on hiw I can find someone like you to hire for my production company?

where/what kind of podcasts/webinars did you watch/use to learn more about marketing and everything you do?

Hi, Wow! You had a quite fairytale story, I work for one of the major social media platforms you can think of it, can't mention the name here. Anyways, I am planning on moving slowly to my own business, but not every boss will be like your boss. ha! My boss be my client, hahaha! They will fire me instead lol. Today people need to get free clients in exchange for value, trust, and experience. PRO BONO as you said! So on the point. It is a lot to learn, absorb and implement but takes time. Free work in a while is the best way to get the foot in the business, putting the work is the deal. Thanks for sharing your experience.
