Jasmine Star told her story authentically on social media, and people paid attention.
More than a decade ago, Jasmine Star decided to quit law school and pursue a career as a photographer. She had no idea what she was doing, but she shared the entire process on her blog and eventually her social media. People paid attention. She wasn’t sure of her abilities as a photographer, but she grew more confident with her ability to effectively market herself online. Today, Jasmine empowers entrepreneurs and businesses to do the same.
Social Curator, founded by Jasmine, is a monthly subscription service that gives businesses photos and templates to use on their social media platforms. This innovative service specializes in amplifying business creativity, sparkling conversations through social media and captivating ideal clients.
In this episode, Jasmine tells Katie all about the unique career journey that led to Social Curator. Jasmine passionately explains that it's not necessarily about being the best at what you do, but instead, it’s about being honest about what you do. That vulnerability and openness can connect with potential clients and customers in a way that no corporate ad could ever touch. Jasmine has learned so much through her own social media. She loves sharing her knowledge with entrepreneurs who may be a bit timid about the social marketing landscape. If Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok feel like another planet to you, time to tune in!
