Key Takeaways:

"A lot of times you can use someone else's platform to be able to share your message. Or partner with those people who are running the communities without even building your own." - Jen Campbell

"If you're showing up authentically as yourself, you're adding value; you're contributing to the conversation, then it's worth your time on social media." - Jen Campbell

"You don't have to have tons of people to make a difference or make the kind of income you want. It's about being really strategic about who you partner with." - Jen Campbell

"I realized that I needed to embrace the awkward and just be myself and cringe forward. I made a hashtag for it, and I'm posting it on social when I do that thing. Because we get so wrapped up in being perfect, we want to come across as being authoritative in our field and knowledgeable, and you can be, and you can still be yourself." - Jen Campbell

"Biggest mistakes that people should avoid on social media, number one is, not showing up with authenticity. Just be yourself. You want to be the best version of who you are, but speak how you would normally speak." - Jen Campbell
