Transparency, Discernment, and Running an Online Business with Maggie Patterson

Talk Copy to Me | Content + Copywriting Podcast

Running an online business is challenging. Rewarding—sure! But challenging? Absolutely yes.

From determining your niche, your goals, and deciding who you should trust, hire, and work with...there's a heck of a lot of decisions that go into owning and running an online business. And even more than the decisions you'll make are the opinions you'll hear. I can't go for more than a few seconds on social media without seeing marketing "experts" preach about what online entrepreneurs must do in order to attract a new audience and convert leads into paying customers.

And this is exactly why I invited Maggie Patterson onto the show so we could have an honest conversation about how to read between the lines of what's being said online and run a business in a way that feels good and true to who you are.
