This is a very good marketing overview course, definitely worth the small amount I paid (under $15 at the time of purchase.) I could see the author cares and although I have not tried the rest of her courses, based on my experience with this course, I think they would be of value.

Can I be your marketing coach?

Hi, I'm Lindsey! In 2019, I launched a boutique marketing agency doing marketing for small business owners because I love working with first-time entrepreneurs and seeing their young businesses grow. Before that, I held down a corporate marketing leadership role and before that I was a copywriter and before that I was a journalist/blogger and before that... Well now you know I'm no spring chicken in my marketing career 😂 My dream role, however, is to coach small businesses owners as they do their own marketing. I love leading. I love developing potential in others. I love being realistic and practical about those lean, scrappy build-a-business days - this is where I'm different than many of the marketing gurus. I'm going to tell you what to stop doing as much as I tell you what you should be doing. Because nobody building a business has time or money or brain power to waste. So if you're tired of the gurus who don't "get" your situation. Frustrated by the intense demand of popular marketing methods. Discouraged by hearing TOO much do-this, do-that by people who no longer seem to remember that building phase of their business, well...
Welcome to your new safe space, friend. This coaching house is for the side-hustlers, early business launchers and solopreneurs just trying to reach your own, very personal business goals with a lot of those early days limitations. As a student here, you'll become part of an active community of business owners similar to you, all taking ownership of simple, strategic marketing through smart, focused planning. We learn together, support each other, figure things out together and grow together. We'd love to have you, too!
