Q: How did you start growing your own LinkedIn following and what plays into that strategy?

552: The Butterfly Strategy with Val Roskens Tews
Q: What would you say to someone starting out who is overwhelmed by too many courses and options?
She emphasizes starting with one foundational course and securing a good coach to guide execution, rather than chasing many courses; also highlights the importance of building a core offering around helping people share their message through writing.

Q: What is the main way you market your business, and how has that evolved from your early days?
