Dr. Karen shared her unconventional journey from chemical engineering to becoming a life coach and content marketing expert. Initially working in semiconductor process control, she later transitioned into life coaching, particularly focusing on divorce coaching, after personal experiences and realizing a market need. Struggling with traditional marketing methods like networking and speeches, she turned to blogging and eventually discovered the power of content marketing when a company called YourTango noticed her work. This led her to optimize her website and content for SEO, significantly growing her traffic. Now, she runs her second brand, KJ Content Marketing, where she helps businesses drive traffic through effective content strategies.
Throughout the discussion, Dr. Karen emphasized the importance of finding passion in helping others, balancing the emotional and logical aspects of content writing, and continuously learning to refine strategies. She also spoke about her experience with organizing time, building a team, and maintaining productivity post-COVID. Her focus on content marketing has allowed her to create a supportive environment for clients and colleagues, with structured accountability groups for content creation, while maintaining a mindset of growth and efficiency.
