Former Shark Tank Contestant: $25M/Year Business With Social Media Marketing

In today's exclusive Niche Pursuits interview, we're going to share the story of how a mother of 4, in a very tough spot, managed to grow a business on track to make $25 million this year.

Here's a sneak peek:

When Tara Williams and her husband were laid off around the same time, it seemed like things couldn't get any worse.

It did.

They had 4 children and their youngest struggled to stay asleep for more than 1.5 hours at a time.

By chance she happened upon the seemingly magical powers of a weighted blanket to help her baby sleep.

The only problem was that she couldn't find exactly what she wanted.

So, she took it upon herself to create the first doctor-approved, evenly-weighted wearable sleep sack. 

And with the help of social media marketing and word of mouth she landed on Shark Tank and the results have been nothing short of amazing.

Today she shares:

  • How she created the first prototype
  • What happened after she made a few samples
  • What happened when she went on Shark Tank
  • Her top marketing strategies
  • Her opinion on SEO
  • How she grows her email list
  • What the content creation process looks like
  • How long it took her to achieve her current revenue
  • Her favorite resources and tools
  • The biggest challenge she's faced
  • Her greatest accomplishment
  • Her main mistake
  • Her advice for other entrepreneurs

Her story just goes to show that some of the problems we face are probably shared by many, and if we're able to find the solution, we have the chance to reap the rewards!
