Whether you want to build your pipeline, build your own brand or build an empire...it all starts this week. That's the message from our guest today, Marina Mogilko, who built Linguatrip.com into a community of 2.5 million followers worldwide. She began building it through her Youtube channel and developed strategies that generated organic reach for her business and more sales. Today she'll share her experience growing a social following from scratch and turning into revenue and then profit.
Learn more in this episode about her perseverance through early business struggles and ultimate triumph that she says began with realistic expectations and constant self-motivation.
More on Marina: Marina Mogilko is the founder of LinguaTrip, a booking engine for language courses and language home-stays all over the world. LinguaTrip helps people travel the world and learn languages from native speakers; think Airbnb for learning languages. Marina speaks 4 languages and learned them during ‘linguatrips’. After starting her first company at the age of 21 with $300 and reaching revenues of $1.5M+ by 2014 she was accepted into several major U.S. universities to do her MBA with full scholarships, but chose 500 Startups to grow her business instead.
