In the latest episode of the Business Awards Show, Karen Davies explains the Power of Online Courses and how they can drive business growth whilst giving entrepreneurs back so much time. Karen is the Founder of Pink Lemon Ltd; a multi-award-winning creative studio based in the heart of Kent that supports female entrepreneurs to build strength in their business by creating online courses and digital products. Karen provides an holistic approach that gently guides her clients through the process of planning, creating, marketing and launching their online product. Karen also provides effective integrations such as building effective sales and marketing funnels using a variety of applications to secure an effective launch and ongoing sales strategy. She is extremely passionate about the work she does because she feels that many businesses have an incredible vision but don’t know how to articulate it. Once they are able to create a tangible set of goals and put measures in place to reach those goals, their businesses just fly! She is a passive profit mentor, and runs her own podcast, Digitally She Does It. She tells us why online courses work, and how her new membership is the perfect way to help you design, craft, and launch your own course. She also provides great insights into what not to do with your online course, and what makes the best ones so successful. She has won several Kent Women in Business Awards and explains why they are so inspiring to be a part of. She is an advocate of awards to gain recognition, but also to network with other entrepreneurs, sharing stories, and being inspired by their achievements. If you have never thought of creating an online course for your business, or have been thinking about it but not had the confidence or knowledge to take it further, this is an episode that will be truly enlightening.
