The Stuggle of 10+ years.
And I am now job hunting..., working a full time job, helping my family as often as often as I can while investing/building a business. I have been in the allys and backroads for the majority of this 10 year journey of what I want to do in business. In the last 3-4 I have honed in on a niche - the 'local niche'. I know some say to niche down, but I am unable to do so. So, If I go local I know I need to be lateral. My chief aim is helping businesses crank out more cash, more free time, and less stress through email reactivation and automation. β-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ----- For those that do not know... I have grown a local restaurant community to over 4.5k, a Facebook page to 3.7k and an email list to almost 2k. But now... I am currently starting from ground zero because my family is currently looking to move to North Eastern Tennesseee while also caring for a little one, job hunting, working, and business building. ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ-----ββ----- I am passionate about helping the local community and so I have decided to put together a local marketplace for the community impacted by hurricane Helene in North Eastern Tennesssee. Each vendor will be able to sell 10 types of products without additional transaction fees and if they want to sell more items.. there will be a small monthly fee to help cover the cost of maintenance, upkeep, and site costs. This website will also serve as a central hub and story to help me build a story while serving a community impacted by hurricane Helene. It will be another organic way to represent what I am doing to build a list, engage, and earn a full time income. My outreach machine is a combination of cold emailing and organic through this website. I also have the ability to run an ad that I can crank out about $.40 per subscriber in the local area.
