Proof Digital

Starting Proof Digital Marketing was a bold venture into the world of digital marketing. My aim was to help businesses enhance their online presence and achieve their marketing goals. While I was able to assist some clients and gained valuable experience, I quickly realized that the level of expertise required to truly succeed in this field goes beyond a few months of self-taught courses.

Despite my best efforts, I found that managing and increasing a brand's online presence demands years of experience and a deep understanding of digital marketing strategies. This humbling experience was invaluable, teaching me the intricacies of running ads, building websites, and much more.

Though ProofDM was not the success I envisioned, the lessons I learned were crucial. They have been instrumental in the phenomenal growth of my current venture, NewAge Vending, which is now exceeding all expectations.

ProofDM may have been a challenging chapter, but it set the stage for the success that followed.

Zoomies

Starting Zoomies, an innovative online pet store specializing in dog toys, was a significant venture into the world of eCommerce. Despite my passion for pets, I quickly realized that running an online store was more of a task than a joy. It involved navigating the complexities of selling online, dropshipping, and managing overseas supplier partnerships.

My key responsibilities included developing business strategies, executing marketing plans, overseeing sales, managing daily operations, and handling financial management. Under my leadership, Zoomies grew to an annual revenue of $20,000. However, I ultimately decided to close the business to pursue different professional interests.

While Zoomies did not bring me personal fulfillment, it was a major learning experience. It taught me the intricacies of eCommerce, the challenges of dropshipping, and the importance of quality customer service. These lessons have been invaluable in my entrepreneurial journey, particularly in the success of my current venture, NewAge Vending.

Zoomies may not have been the right fit for me, but it set a solid foundation for my future endeavors.
