Start here. Welcome to the Collective.
Welcome in. I'm glad you're here.
(Embed your Loom welcome video right here, at the top.)
I'm Andrea Bacchi. I'm the Marketing Consultant for the Vermont Small Business Development Center, Chair of the Vermont Rehabilitation Council, owner of Think Dynamic Digital, and a member of the Vermont Technology Alliance. I've spent years helping small businesses, freelancers, and solopreneurs sort out their digital marketing, and pointing them toward resources most people never find.
Here's what this room is for.
You're running a business and doing your own marketing, which means you're making a lot of decisions alone. Should you post more or email more? Is your website costing you leads? Is this tool worth the money?
Most of the time you don't need to hire a consultant. You need someone who has seen it before to tell you which way to go, and a room of people figuring out the same things.
That's this.
Three things to do right now.
- Introduce yourself below. What's your business, and what's the one thing you're stuck on this month?
- Post your stuck thing as its own question in Ask Andrea. Don't sit on it. That's what you're paying for.
- Answer someone else's question. You know more than you think you do.
A few house rules.
Promotion happens on Wednesdays, in the Promo Wednesday thread. Nowhere else. No cold DMs, ever. No approaching members to sell them your services. That rule is what keeps this room safe enough to be honest in.
A note on where you are.
The agency, funding, and vocational rehabilitation resources I share are United States programs, and some are Vermont-specific. I want to be upfront about that. But the digital marketing and business solutions side of this works anywhere in the world. Getting found, getting reviews, building an email list, writing an offer people say yes to. That's the same job in every country.
One more thing.
Everyone is welcome here. If you have a disability, I want you to know there are real resources built for you, including free business advising and self-employment support, and I will point you to them. I'm a disability advocate and that isn't a side note for me. It's part of the work.
I'm in this because I care. Ask me anything.
— Andrea
