Meet Featured Diva Sharon McMillian
What is the name of your business and a description of what you do?
I operate a business called Write to Type – http://www.writetotype.com – and we specialize in customized web content for businesses.
We “write to type” and equip our clients with content designed to appeal to their target market. Our services include:
- Search Engine Optimized articles and blog posts
- Social Bookmarking
- Article Syndication
- Sales pages
- Website marketing plans
- Website layouts and designs
I like to tell my clients that having a website is just the beginning. A well written and planned website will actually work for you by turning website
visitors into paying customers.
How much has your business direction changed in the past five years and why?
Five years ago I decided to take my long-standing freelance business online and started a custom writing service called Sharon Writes.
This fall I re-launched that business as Write to Type to serve the specific online marketing and communication needs of small business
owners and solopreneurs.
What advice do you have for women who are trying to grow their businesses?
Stay focused on your goals and stay connected with other women entrepreneurs. The practical insight you can gain from those who are actually succeeding as entrepreneurs is invaluable.
What do you know now that you wished you knew 10 years ago as it relates to business?
I could have grown my business faster if I had known about the benefits of outsourcing and working in partnership with other independent
business owners. Balancing motherhood and career commitments with my freelance business was a huge task. I now realize I didn’t have to do it all alone.
