About this column
Cori Padgett from BigGirlBranding.com
In this ninth episode of the Creative Solopreneur Podcast, I talk with Cori Padgett of Big Girl Branding. Cori has been one of my quiet inspirations as I’ve grown my own business online. I first connected with her via a contest she was running on her blog way back when, which inspired me to run a contest of my own. You’ll be impressed with Cori’s story of how she went from cleaning vacation homes to making a full-time living online while raising her sons at home. Cori’s kind of like the sister you wish you had, the one you go to for a good mix of compassion, everyday wisdom, and gentle butt-kicking.
Here are the Cori-endorsed people and things mentioned in our conversation:
- Earn 1K a Day Online – the forum that started it all for Cori and her business Editorial Note: even though their sales page features red font and yellow highlighter, Cori promises that their tactics are far from sleazy — she says she considers the people on this forum to be like family.
- Jenn Dize’s Power Ghostwriting course – this is Cori’s affiliate link
- Write Syntax – Cori’s professional ghostwriting services site
Listen in as Cori shares about what ghostwriting really is and how it works; how she uses Microsoft OneNote to compile blog post ideas; her advice on battling perfectionism and procrastination and why you should track your business finances from the start; her advice for new and aspiring online creative solopreneurs, and her tip on how to do research for a niche website.
