Want to start your own company, work remotely or just market your company on social media?
I'm giving away one hour of free advice or coaching on this, to two of my followers.
Steemit has given me opportunities that I would've never gotten elsewhere, and it's time to give back.
Lately, I've been helping my customers here in Norway with starting new businesses and developing them. My main business is digital marketing, but I'm finding myself doing more business consulting and coaching these days.
So today I got the idea that there's probably someone here that I could help with this too. And I want to do it for free, just because Steemit has given me so much over the last 20 months. New friends, new knowledge and of course some sweet SBD that has allowed me to travel even more.
And if you're thinking this: "who is this person and why would I want her help?"
I'm a 30-year-old journalist, business owner and an avocado lover from Norway. I travel the world while posting on Steemit, helping my customers with social media and working remotely part-time for a Swedish tech company.
I've worked in the IT business and I've also studied PR and communications.
The things I can help you with:
- Digital marketing - how to make your business more visible online
- How to become an independent social media manager
- How to start a new company and get started
- Turn your new or established company into a remote company, so that you can work from anywhere
How to enter:
Leave a reply on this post, stating what you do/want to do and why you want me to help you.
Also, tell me a little bit about yourself if I don't know you from before.
How I'll pick two winners:
I will read your comments and decide on two people that stand out and seem motivated.
How I'll help you
I'll set up a 60-minute long video call with you and help you as much as I can on the topic that you choose. Feel free to prepare as many questions as you'd like before the meeting.
This will also be a super cool way for me to get to know my followers a bit more. So it's partially a selfish move too!
Thank you for reading!
Susanne
Good for you .. well done
A beautiful initiative from you
Great post
great for us
Hi!
I definitely could use some help with social media and how to best use it to my advantage.
I am also involved with a group of blockchain developers and could use help on how to best handle and grow a project we are working on.
I also am a musician and looking to get more involved with social media to help grow my fan base but just have some things standing in the way.
I really am curious about brand recognition and was just at the book store looking for books on the topic.
I have also been considering hiring someone to help me with all this so it would be awesome to win this!
Hi Susanne. Thank you for showing your gratitude to the Steemit community by giving back. I wish there was more of people like you. I'm inspired by your post to do more for the community.
I'm a small business owner who is struggling to break through (I'm not sure if that's the term). Ever since I was a kid I have always had the spirit of entrepreneurship, selling candy and cookies to my classmates in high school.
I paid through college with money that I earned through being a middleman between retailers and suppliers, negotiating cuts from suppliers and selling taking those cuts as my fee. Not so noble but it got me through. After college I got a job and I just hated the idea of working for someone and making them rich while I remained poor yet it's me that did the hardest work. I took a vow that I will own my own business.
I managed to start a couple of businesses but none of them has been successful enough to give me that big break that I need to be in the big legue. I'm still a smalltime business person who still has to work everynow and then for someone in order to keep things floating.
My current business is in the web design and development industry but there is stiff competition. It's like everyone is developing websites and web apps these days and it's hard to make any money at all. I need business coaching because I know I can make it, I just need the right coaching from someone with more experience. I especially need digital marketing skills to promote my business so I can get more clients.
Thank you for your great comment and nice words. I appreciate it a lot.
Sounds like you've had an interesting journey. Some "failures" are needed to learn lessons I think.
Web design seems like it has tough competition. I think you need to look for an innovative business model to make it in this business. You can definitely make it, I'm sure!
Thanks for participating. I will announce the winners soon.
Have gat a perfect business for you that stands out from the rest . It creates passive income, but requires relatively little cash investment to start up. It is low overhead, and can be operated on a flexible part-time basis until it generates enough cash flow for the entrepreneur to transition out of his current full-time job.
Do you know how to gain more real active followers?
Yup! You have to:
share original quality content
connect with other members
reply to all comments
vote for other people's posts
comment on other people's posts
be genuine
contribute to the community
Awe that’s sweet! ❤️ Happy Valentines Day!
Check out my new Valentines Day post “Steemit Love” 😉🤙
I would love to see from you a few articles posted here on steemit.com with some tips on how you became popular on steemit and how can we do the same.
I sure will. I think two factors have been to post almost every day for two years and to really engage in other people’s content.
I’ve done many posts on how to write better, how to improve content etc. But I will make more of them :) thanks for commenting.
@susanne great way of giving back to the Steemit community! Good luck with your project.
It’s the least i can do! Thank you so much.
Nice post
Thanks
I just like your energy to put out an initiative as grand as this. I will love to participate but I don't know where to start because am someone who has a lot of interest to develop myself in the IT industry, but what is stopping me, I don't know; maybe fund, maybe a plan, I can't really say but I know my strength lies in that field because I have strong computational knowledge and the drive. am giving a task that relates to a field as such, I can guarantee I won't fair badly atall. If you could find a way to really motivate me to pursue this passion and sacrifice all else because right now am just barely trying to survive. I understand you are not out to be funding people's project, but it would really be a big deal if I could get a means to an end to pursue my dream full throttle , I hope you understand my point. Thanks for this opportunity. Hoping to hear from you pretty soon
One thing that has helped me is to first, write down your goals. Second, write down ways to achieve them. It is important to be realistic with where you are at the moment. Lastly, learn from those that have already achieved your dream. I have decided to set aside 5 hours per week to pursue my dream of transitioning to a Virtual Accountant. I learned that you have to have a desktop computer, you need to be available Monday - Friday from 8-5, you need to have a business phone line. I started this a year and 1/2 ago. I am not a Virtual Accountant yet, but I have made strides, and you can too. Good Luck on your path to pursuing your dreams! I hope some of this helped.
Thank God i met this post today, uh! what a good way to start the day by been lucky to see this.
Am a Farmer from Nigeria and i also have interest in online marketing cos i see that as the next big thing in service delivery and a crucial point in making profit from farm, i dont have any mentor to coach me so i rely on books, i read a book per week since december, and am on page 60 of Guy Kawasaki book : the Art of Now, just in a bid to lean more.
I'll be glad if you can be of practical help because ive seen so many and listened to so many enterpreneur tapes and books but there strategy is non applicable nor can they be applied indegeniously.
Thanks.
I'm glad you had a great start on your day. I'm glad you're reading books. I love reading too, and I thinks it's so important to stay hungry for knowledge. I'll have to check out that book too! I'll pick the winner in a few days, depending on how many people want to join.
Lovely comment. Glad we are on the same page. Would you be interested in learning more from great books on how to build big Business with low start up cost and with very little risk? Would you be interested in learning on getting a part-time Business until it takes over the income you receive you from a job? If your answer is Yes then follow me
Hi Susanne, I'm an accountant running my own practice. Looking to build it out but don't want to default to typical office based work. Want to expand remotely and interested in exploring how steemit could be part of the setup.
Would be great to explore with you on a call :)
Steve, it's awesome to hear you have already stared running your own practice! I still work for others trying to branch out into being a Virtual Accountant. I've started following you, and am hopeful you'll find the right mix to branch out through the Virtual aspect of accounting. It would be amazing to do work for others anywhere in the world. I enjoy people in the office but the flexibility and freedom of working virtually is exciting. Good Luck to you! If I come across things that are working I'll pass it along.
Hey @shannonfarabee thank you for your comment. Yes, I've actually been running my firm for over 5 years now (time flies fast!) but resisted opening a centralised office style firm. Mainly work in coffee shops and from home. I love the freedom and location independence.
What sort of accounting are you involved with? Where are you based? I currently outsource some Xero accounting work to Australia so already fairly global :)
Hey Steve,
I'm based in the US - living in Mesa, AZ just outside Phoenix. I check financial statements for accuracy and reclassify as needed, review payroll, quarterly returns, sales tax returns, and process Business and Individual Tax Returns. I have worked with small business owners where I am processing their returns, payroll, etc.
So cool you are entering the global accounting world! Awesome - Thanks, Steve
The avocado lover was a nice touch! :)
I'm a licensed chemical engineer from the Philippines and I haven't practiced my profession yet. In my head, I've always wanted to build my own business. I've been in a constant war with thoughts of whether I should just find a stable chemical engineering job or work on my business idea. The former is the safest path to tread, but I'm not sure if that's what I really want. The latter is pretty exciting for me, but I fear that I'll tell regret this in the future. I know that I'll keep regret at bay if I knew what I was doing. Your coaching will play a big role in this! I'm thinking of building a renewable energy company in my country.
I love your core value about becoming a business owner. Being a business owner or building one involves having both financial education and professional education balanced. Financial education is where is you learn to have money work for you rather to have money work for you while professional education teaches how to work for money. So while finding a stable chemical engineering job get a part-time business that will not only provide you all the life and important skill you need to build a business, but generates enough cash flow for the entrepreneur to transition out of it current full- time job. Would be interested to learn a guild rule on how to be a Big business owner? If your answer is Yes feel free to follow.
This is a great way of giving back. Well done you! Us female entrepreneurs have got to stick together and share our knowledge!
I agree! #girlboss 😍
Yes we female must stick together and support one another!
Only For U Susane
Dear steemer,
nice post and I followed you :) Please follow me :)
You people eh!! You no even look at the post to know what it is about. If you wanna succeed in this community, you will need to change this.
It's like I would've said it myself! I agree 100%. Thank you for your real and valuable comment @lordjames.
Also I just followed @lordjames, not @sadbin that asked me to do it. :p
Awwn. I didn't see that coming. I wasn't much of a writer before I came on Steemit. I know how much energy people puts into writing to make a post come out but it always pained me so much that after all this energy the first five comments wont even look at what you wrote.
I just hope @sadbin will learn and start contributing to the community. Thanks @susanne
Well said!
Enig, altså!
I so agree you, such comments make me both to laugh and to feel anger, WTF people comment without even reading.
HA HA, I'm thinking the exact same thing.
hopefully you can motivate me, I run a curtain sewing business ,,
That's cool! I actually need new curtains for my flat now! :)
I am very honored if you want to order to me ,, an honor for me.
I came across your post and could not leave without commenting. This is so kind of you. I hope you find two great followers who deserve your help. Best of luck!
Thank you for the comment! I think it’s going to be hard to pick the winners! So many nice people here.
I am on the process building my online business chesatochi.com (crypto blog). The path is more difficult than I thought for generating constant revenue. Maybe you can give me some advice or put me in the right direction.
That's so interesting. I will have a look at it :)
Interesting post Susanne, thank you for sharing😀👍🏻
Tusenk takk, Heidi Marie! Thanks for reading.
@susanne, you are so generous toward those active on Steemit! Thanks for all that you are doing for us!
Awww! Thanks for you never ending support!
Hah, thanks! It goes both ways though :)

Great idea and a superb way of giving back to the community. After all, seeing businesses built on steem succeed benefits us all :)
I would like to qualify for your coaching! As we aim to start marketimg SteemPress to wordpress users everywhere, I would love your suggestions and recommendations for how we can effectlively reach and convince our target audience :)
Thank you! I agree.
SteemPress is such a cool product. I hope you guys will be successful with that. Thanks for leaving a reply. I appreciate it.
Big ups for doing this Susanne, great way of giving back to the community and as you say, get to know a lucky follower at depth. 🙏🏼
Hope it all turns out well and good luck everyone participating! 💯
Thank you for your kind words!
What a great gesture, @susanne. I'm just happy to support this post, and I look forward to hearing about the winners.
Cheers!
Thank you, I always appreciate your feedback.
Congratulations ! you can get 100,000 Ventureo to fund your business !
https://steemit.com/bitshares/@chrisaiki/get-100-000-ventureo-to-fund-your-project
and you can help me to advertize this oportunity for organization with a new project, too.
I would love some of your advice . I am very new to steemit and I have just started a network marketing business with Arbonne and i'm just about to move to France to renovate a three hundred year old barn. So its all go. I want to share my renovation experience and I want to expand my Arbonne business to fund the renovation so any words of wisdom would be greatly received.
Hi Susanne!
First: Thanks for doing this.
I hope whoever wins appreciates your advice and takes action.
I started my business as an personal trainer last year in summer and simultaneously started using Instagram, a homepage and a few Youtube Videos to share my expertise, attract new clients and connect with interesting people.
Until now I have had decent success with in - person coaching but could use help with my online presence.
I wanna do this because I've made very specific plans on how I want to run my business in the near future.
I basically want to work location indepently starting from October 2019 where i will hopefully finish my studies here in Vienna.
To achieve this I need a plan, a kind of map that could help me orient myself in the jungle of digital marketing/platforms/opportunites and the business of being a self employed fitness professional in the digital sphere.
This is where I could greatly benefit from your advice and would love to get input and/or a specific plan for action.
Thanks again for taking the time.
Take care,
-Devin

Please stop promoting your own post on other people’s posts. That’s just stupid. Especially when it’s not remotely related to the topic.
Hvorfor fikk jeg varsel om denne?? Ikke noe jeg har skrevet!
As a fellow Norwegian I can't not post. It is very interesting to read about your career so far, and still so young. When did you know what you wanted to do?
Great post. I think I should first commend you for this your decision to give back to STEEMIT comunity, you are highly appricited.
Now the challenge and the opportunity you are offering. I have worked in some organizations in the past, hard work, dedication and uprightness help to reach the top at those places that I worked.
Due to so many challenges facing business comunity from my own part of the world, (NIGERIA) I quit my employment to venture into internet marketing, being a new entrant into another business adventure I would love it if you can assist in walking or showing me how IM works.
I would love if you can tutor me on the tools, the plan and strategy that require in starting an online business. Presently, I am a piggery farmer, if this can be marketed online I am open to your advise.
Lastly, though I may not have those quality that you are looking for now, but if the opportunity arise again, please and please, kindly place me on your waiting list. Thanks a lot.
Norsk jeg også her..
This is such a great (and caring) idea! Well... my mame is Daniele, I’m from Brazil but I live in Florida-US for 16 years. I have a degree in Electronic Engineer, and 6 years ago, when I had my son, I decided to work in a different environment, so I decided to manage a Health Food Store. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. At the store I learned about not only nutrition, supplementation but also about Holistic Medicine. My team was like a family to me since mine still in Brazil, it was fun but I started to feel that I couldn’t go anywhere and I wanted to give back to the community and have a bigger purpose in Life, so last November I decided to start my own business. I have a blog and I’m planning on opening a Beauty & Wellness Center. I’d love to talk to you about it. Sincerely, Dani Denes.
That's a great idea! You're awesome for doing that!
I'm not entering, just leaving a few words. :)
Thank you for leaving a reply! I appreciate that :)
Bless your heart! This is a great thing you're doing, girl. 🤗
P.S. I LOL'd when you used "avocado lover" to describe yourself. 😂
Aw! Thank you. It's a huge part of my identity, as you can see. Ha ha!
Så gøy at du gir bort av din tid til noen her inne. Liker din delingsmentalitet! Håper du får anledning til å ta en prat med noen som får skikkelig utbytte av det. Jeg tar gjerne også et møte med deg en dag, føler jeg har masse å lære av deg angående å bygge opp sin egen business, bruk av sosiale medier og Steemit mm. Jeg gjør det gjerne som en tjeneste mot en tjeneste da, f.eks hvis du skulle trenge noe design :)
Lykke til med valg av kandidat!
:)
Takk! Det gjør jeg gjerne. Det blir vanskelig å velge en vinner her ser jeg.
Kult! Ja, du har gitt deg selv litt av en utfordring, men skikkelig spennende da. Du får et par nye bekjentskaper fra uti verden der rett inn på kontoret/hjemmet ditt og det er både merkelig og fantastisk på en gang. Kult at du tar slike utfordringer synes jeg, vil gi mye til de to du velger, samtidig som det kan være berikende for deg. :)
Hello Sussane,
I love it that you are doing your part and up for helping us. I hope to win but will be happy for anyone who does.
I am a writer presently learning some technical aspects of digital marketing. I am a good learner and have also learnt about ecommerce and have worked with various people. I would love to talk to you and know more about this platform. I understand here we need to be consistent and give back value, but what I am concerned about is that my posts do not get the visibility that they should get. I do not know what is wrong. I am still reading and learning and hope to do good in it in future.
May be I can host such contest too in future.
Till then lots of love from Mango Lover to Avocado Lover
Susanne, I'm excited to follow your posts and look forward to both being inspired by you and learning from your experiences.
I have a Masters Degree in Accounting and have been in bookkeeping services for 15 years, and Business Tax for 5 years. I am most comfortable with small business owners and Quickbooks accounting software.
I have three children, and as a mother, I have dedicated most of my time to helping them develop into who they are today. My children are becoming more self reliant and are giving me more time to develop my dreams and desires of being a Virtual Accountant.
I am proud to say, my office is set up, my LLC is in good standing, and I have a business bank account. Now, I need to learn how to find clients that don't mind me working from my home in the evenings and on weekends until I can grow my client base enough to quit my full time job. I work as an Assistant Controller and Tax Preparer.
I hope to be one of the two to have an hour asking you questions - but if not, I'll still enjoy tuning into your blog as often as you write. You are an inspiration - Keep it up!
@Susanne : Maybe you can open up a new account called: @Steemit-sensei ? Your help is clearly in big demand.
Or maybe we can create and adopt a new hashtag for this subject other than the current ones? Most steemit-related posts I see are focused on crypto, instead of good content or actual community building.
Avocados yum! yum !
good day, pay attention to my account, I pay a fee for your votes from 50 to 70 % of the program sbdgiveaway, I will be glad to meet and communicate further)))
Hey Susanne! I just found your page! Is it too late to leave my comment?
This is such a beautiful thing! I am South African! 🇿🇦 I love beautiful things, people, images and food! I am focused on being more mindful and working smarter not harder!
Congratulations for this wonderful action dear friend @susanne, you always have to be grateful in life and contribute and give back what you have learned or won with other people, in this case. Your knowledge and advice.
I wish you many successes in this initiative
Have a great day
Very nice post
Genuinely Good work..! ! Thank You for sharing this on steemit!
Tenkte i dag tidlig jeg kunne høres frekk ut da jeg skrev de kanskje var lettere som en søt jente. Men var egentlig litt keitete skrevet av meg. Mente det mer som et kompliment.
Takk for Upvote på smalahove posten min. Gleder meg til å lese mer av postene dine. Både reise og økonomi. Kjøpte den ene boken du anbefalte nå. Skal lese den og så kjøpe den andre du nevnte. Veldig mye bra tips du kom med for å starte selv. Har gjort det før selv, men aldri blitt så mye ut av det. Greit å ha een liste.
Ha en fin dag hvor en du er i verden måt
Hi Susanne,
I start this comment with a little trepidation... you see, I'm worried that your misguided love of avos might extend to the advice you'll give me, but I'm open-minded enough to hear you out. :P
OK, I hope you know I was kidding about the avos, but I'm dead serious about getting your input on an idea I have, that I would like to implement in the coming months.
My need for advice:
I've got a (South African) YouTube community that are very close and we help each other out a lot on FB & YouTube. Some of us are well established on those channels, others are only starting out. However, my goal is to get all of them to move over to Steemit and switch their main focus from being "YouTubers" to becoming "DTubers".
In short:
I want to start a "DTube incubation programme", aimed specifically at new Steemians/DTubers. My problem is that I am new to the channel myself, and all the "strategies, tips & tricks" that typically work on other channels don't seem to apply here, so I am not really in a position to be offering any advice to other DTubers that are starting out.
Some key questions that I could use your advice on:
If you do pick me, then I'll make sure I prep for our meeting properly beforehand. Right now though, we just have a little group where we share experiences (both those that worked, and those that didn't) and the incubator idea is just something brewing in the back of my head until such time as I'm more experienced on Steemit myself and can offer legit advice.
Thanks for the awesome initiative, and I hope to be hearing from you.
Very generous of you to offer your time and expertise! I have learned so much on steem it and feel I'm certainty getting closer to my goals. It's awesome to see how steemit has Impacted your own goals! I resigned a couple of years ago from a job I worked my whole career to earn because once I got it, the paycheck was nice but wasn't enough to keep me happy when I was working 7ohrs a week. I moved to Cambodia and made big changes in my mindset of work and lifestyle. Currently I am researching and trying to learn more about working digitally and so much of the information I read is all over the place! I love Chris Gillbeau and listen to his podcast and have read a couple of his books. You remind me of someone he might have on his show and I would LOVE to pick your brain for an hour. I realize you are going to have a difficult time choosing your winners & wish you luck. I hope you find my entry appealing enough for a winner, nonetheless I am glad I saw your post and look forward to following you.
