As one of the original first year members of Biznik (2005), I have to say that it has been, and continues to be, THE BEST $24. I invest in my business every month and business community where I focus my energy.
My business has been through various morphings since I began - I was still a student when I joined - and so much of what has brought me to where I am now is because of the tools, the people, the exposure, the opportunities and so forth.
I just celebrated my 2 year anniversary as EcoKind Design - it took me some time to get a name that fit, and wasn't taken by others (haha). At the beginning of my 3rd year, I am in process of aligning with a national radio show and will be the sole designer for a makeover series. insert my own jaw dropping
This venture will also be helping me craft chapters for my book, and the team at the show is fast becoming another part of my family, holding my hand through this tremendous growth phase, leaping into what I know is possible for myself and had no idea how it would happen.
"Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God! THIS is happening to ME!"
They found me on the internet and you can bet that was because of Biznik's SEO ranking, and for what we learn by going to Biznik workshops, reading articles, talking and working with each other.
It's great to see that people with all levels of involvement in Biznik are benefiting in ways pleasing to themselves.
Thank you Kate for taking the time to research how Biznik has benefitted you in just one year, and for taking the time to share it with us all. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer - if you're indie, you need to be a Biznik!
Blessings to all!
