PRAISE FOR MAKINTHEBACON

Pat Heard – Happy Healthy Heard

I approached Karen to help me with my business branding and strategies for Social Media- at first I was really just looking for a consultation, but quickly realized that by becoming a client of Makin’ The Bacon, I could leverage Karen’s wealth of knowledge and Social Media savvy. Karen helped me get started, and gave me great advice for branding and online strategies- but more importantly, she gave me the tools to continue the journey on my own, and taught me some cool tricks and shared great resources. I highly recommend Karen!! She was great to work with and absolutely terrific at what she does!!

Shannon Leeper – Stylebyshannonk

I approached Karen because I had started an Instagram account surrounding my passion for fashion and design, and I wanted to see what direction I could take this project in. She helped me assess the practicality of my goals, and provided insight into how to accomplish them. The result of Karen’s consulting was my renewed excitement in my project in addition to having the right tools and information to grow my Instagram account and transition into creating an accompanying blog in the near future.

I highly recommend Karen to those who are looking to take the next step in digitally expanding their businesses.

Jennifer Rowan – Mission Activism

I cannot begin to explain how refreshing it was dealing with Karen as I approached her about my blog. I had ideas, but no knowledge at all on the big wide world of blogging, and Karen took those ideas and taught me how to turn it into something amazing. She put together our timetable for Skype lessons and planned out the four weeks to suit myself and my blog’s needs personally. Karen would even help me out between lessons via email if I ever had any troubles at all with any of the homework that was set in order to get the best outcome for my website. All that my blog is, I owe to Karen and her master mind.

Lindsay Hoffman – A Dose of Bliss

Karen is just what I needed for my blog! I was one of those people who didn’t post consistently and wanted my blog to be something more. Karen knew exactly what to do to help me gain my motivation and take my blog to the next level. She is so detailed with her help and kind. She looked at everything down to the size of my social media icons on the page! It’s that kind of dedication that makes something go from good to great. Since her help, I have seen more engagement on my blog than ever before. And most importantly, I feel more motivated and inspired to keep it up. I highly recommend working with Karen if you are looking to take your blog to the next level.

Xanthe LeBlanc – X-Rated Food

You often hear people say something “changed my life”. I’m here to say that the Makin the Bacon Blog Workshop really did change my life! A food blog is an idea I have been toying with for years, but taking the workshop really galvanized me to take the steps to make it happen. I have since taken a more in-depth course and I’m proud to say my blog will be live in March 2018. My end goal is to make my blog my income, but in the meantime, it will be a creative outlet and a way to share my passion for food.
