In our current series, I interview the owners of 4 very different graphic design businesses and we dive deep into their marketing.
Today’s episode is the final one of this series and I interview Shyne Webster, who’s based in Huntington Beach, California.
Shyne is one impressive gal. She blew me away because she’s still in college getting her graphic design degree AND simultaneously running a very successful design business.
While listening to this episode, pay attention to how Shyne uses content marketing and an affiliate program to generate new clients for her business.
“Getting really specific with my market has helped me clarify my messaging & how I market myself. Also, I feel more invested in my own mission & purpose.” – Shyne Webster
