Karon, what do you want people to know about the products or product line you offer?
Marketing Words’ products can best be described as all focus… no fluff. Designed to help you quickly assimilate information and implement it into your business, these digital training products step you through each level until you reach the finish line.
Tell us a bit about you and what you’d like content creators to know about you.
Teacher. Guide. Simplifier of the complex. Since 1999, I have been devoted to delivering high-value training that empowers online entrepreneurs to entice, engage & earn through blogging, copywriting, passive income, affiliate marketing and more. Taking lessons I learned throughout my 20+ years in online business, I help you shave months off the learning curve so you can reach your level of success more quickly.
What do you love about your products and how can “content creators” benefit from them?
Creating content is one thing. Marketing your content is entirely another! Understanding who your audience is, how to write copy what appeals to them, methods for turning one-off products into sources of passive income and more, give you a significantly better chance at reaching your dream goals.
How did you get started in your business and what do you love about it?
I started Marketing Words in 1999 with an old 2mb Packard Bell computer I borrowed from my parents and a desire to get the heck out of my day job. I worked 16-hour days for about 18 months as I transitioned from an office job to being full-time on my own. I adore the freedom! Making my own decisions, an unlimited income ceiling, the ability to create a schedule that works for my specific needs and working part-time hours while making 6 figures are benefits I truly treasure.
Please share a tip for people wanting to create and sell products online.
Know your target audience! Before you ever begin the first step of creating products, take the time to gain a solid understanding of the people you will market these products to. It will make a difference in your outline creation, product development, marketing and profits.
What do you wish you knew when you first got started in your business?
The first thing I wish I had done sooner was to get help. It can be difficult to grow your income if you’re doing everything yourself. There are only so many hours in the day, after all. As soon as you are financially able, look into finding a qualified assistant who can take over the everyday tasks so you can focus on the money-making ones.
Secondly, I wish I had given myself permission to try anything. So many times I would think, “I can’t do that because _.” When I finally got over that roadblock mindset, I was able to accomplish exponentially more than I ever thought.
Lastly, take time off. I get it. When you’re first starting your business, it takes a lot of work. But we all need breaks. Fun allows us to unwind, rejuvenate our minds and bodies and shed stress. All good things. Look for ways as your business grows to incorporate more automation and assistance so you can have time for consistent boughts of fun and relaxation.
