Marketing is a broad field yet he manages to provide entrepreneurs with the tips, tools, strategies and systems to successful marketing that converts. It all started with a dream and asking that question how else can success be define? About 15 years ago I started working in higher education for an online university. I started off helping that department collect documents in order to help complete student file. Because of determination and my work ethic I worked my way up to an executive level position. About 5 years into my executive position I know that it wasn’t something I wanted to be doing for the rest of my life… About the Man behind the strategy: So I ask myself the question if this isn’t it what else can I do Something inside of me told me I should start my own business. Through research I knew i wanted the business to meet a few criteria. I wanted to start a business that is in demand and would be around regardless of what is happening in the world. At that time the online dating industry was very popular and it met the criteria that I was looking for in business. I found and hired a programmer to build me a dating/dance type website in order that I would be able to launch my first business as an entrepreneur. Fast forward a year later the site was launched. But to my surprise I had a hard time getting members to join. I had paid close to 30K for this project so I wasn’t going to just put my hand up and say oh well I tried… I went on a mission to learn how to do lead generation, marketing, membership growth, facebook ads in order that I can learn the skills needed to make this project work Fast forward about 7 months later I was learning and my dating site started to gain some momentum Shortly after gaining some momentum I learned that I was in violation of copyright laws. The dating site had a dance component which allowed members the ability to update videos of them dancing. Since i didn’t have the right to any of that content I had to close down the site to avoid legal ramification… I felt defeated because this appeared to be the end of my entrepreneurial journey… Than I decided to take what I had learned about lead generation and about marketing and started to host workshops in my area… I started to host these workshops for two reasons. First I wanted to see if the skill I had learned could benefit other businesses. Second I thought maybe one day I can use that knowledge to turn it into a business After hosting over 60 local marketing workshops and helping other businesses dial in their marketing I felt comfortable with my craft At which point I decided to leave my employer and start my business full time. Today I specialize in lead generation and in marketing helping businesses generate leads and make more sales. I recently started a facebook group called black creators connect. The goal of that group is to support other entrepreneurs and provide a space to connect and gain the knowledge and skills for a better life and a better business Learn more about Vladamir at: vladadonis.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anika-wilson/message
