Is it possible to double your income in a year? As someone who has done it, I can say yes. But it’s not just about the income; it’s about the value you bring to the table. My transition from a salon owner to a media strategist did more than just boost my earnings; it significantly improved the SEO and online presence of numerous small businesses.

Laying the Foundation with a Digital Footprint

My journey began in the beauty industry, where from 2016 to 2021, I ran a successful salon. The key? A solid digital footprint. I mastered the art of enhancing our online presence, from engaging social media strategies to maintaining top rankings on Google. This digital prowess not only catapulted our salon’s success but also equipped me with skills invaluable for my next venture.

Transition to Media Strategy

With a wealth of digital marketing knowledge, I pivoted to a new role as a media strategist. Here, I applied my acumen in PR and digital marketing to help other small businesses grow their online visibility, focusing heavily on improving their SEO. This was more than a job change; it was about amplifying the impact of small businesses in the digital world.

Balancing High-End Salon Services and SEO Strategy

Today, I continue to offer high-end services in the salon while building my media strategy business. This dual approach has allowed me to leverage my established reputation in the beauty industry while expanding my impact in the digital marketing sphere.

The Financial and Business Impact

This strategic shift led to a significant income increase, with my media business alone bringing in substantial monthly earnings. But beyond the numbers, the real success lay in seeing the businesses I worked with climb up the SEO ranks, gaining visibility and growth.

Looking Forward

Looking ahead to 2024, the potential for even more growth truly excites me. With my referral network expanding rapidly and my ongoing rebranding efforts taking shape, I anticipate surpassing the growth I experienced in 2023. The skills I’ve honed in digital strategy serve as more than just a pathway to personal financial growth; they’re a means to empower other small businesses in their digital journeys. These developments not only forecast a promising future for my own endeavors but also signify the potential for greater impact on the businesses I work with.

Your Path to Success

For those looking to increase their income and impact, consider the power of digital strategy. My transition from salon owner to media strategist demonstrates how valuable digital marketing skills are — not just for personal gain but for the substantial growth it can bring to others in the digital space.
