In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Rachel Allen, the founder of Making Business Social.Before her success, Rachel always knew she wanted to build something. She wanted something entertaining and creative to get people excited about social media marketing while also allowing her to have flexibility, independence, and growth. This meant she had to try a lot of different things before finding the ideal fit.
When the epidemic hit, she saw an opportunity and founded ‘Making Business Social’, a company that lets businesses outsource their marketing and social media. But she soon realised that as good as her services were, people want to get to know the real face of the business - the founder and team. So she switched focus.
Today, she shows small business owners exactly how to do their own social media, without becoming overwhelmed. Her tools help them take control of their marketing so that they have the strategy and confidence to demonstrate their sector expertise, unlock the full potential that social media offers, and get the best results from their online presence.
Don't miss this episode to learn more about Rachel's journey as she shares a whole heap of terrific social media tips on how to manage the overwhelm that comes with becoming visible online.
The big, expensive problem that so many business owners have is they're not growing their business online because they're dicking around. - Rachel Allen
