Today we’d like to introduce you to Katy Miller.
Hi Katy, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
I started my business after years in network marketing and seeing business owners across industries struggle to show up on social media in a sustainable way. Starting Miller Social was the best way I could help and still stay home with my kids.
At the beginning, I did social media management taking social media completely off my client’s plate. I quickly realized that I loved the strategy part and wanted to teach business owners that social media could be fun and not something to dread.
My business has evolved into what it is today where I offer social media strategy and course development. I have a Masters in Instructional Design and over 7 years of experience in social media marketing. I’ve spent years learning how to map out effective learning and structure successful courses.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I don’t think entrepreneurship is ever a smooth road! One of the most challenging pieces for me is the constant evolution of your business. I started my business thinking it would be one way and as I’ve gained more experience, worked with clients in different industries and as my kids’ lives changed, so did my business. Being ok with the changes and reinvention can be hard.
Another challenge is setting clear boundaries with myself and clients. Working from home requires a lot of flexibility and strong boundaries around work time. When we first start our businesses, we want to serve anyone and everyone. But you learn along the way that you are not for everyone and that’s ok. None of us started a business to be miserable so you have to make it work for you.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Miller Social?
Miller Social offers social media strategy and course development. Stress-Free Social is my most popular package offering social media strategy for business owners, so they don’t have to do it all. It includes overall content strategy, captions, hashtag research, and Reels ideas + audios.
On the course development side of my business, I offer full course development using my background in education and Masters in Instructional Design and Development. Once we work through your idea and develop it into a course, we discuss the launch plan on social media.
A large part of my business includes video confidence with course videos and short-form video like Reels. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my brand and voice online which is something I am very proud of. Being able to help others show up confidently on video is the best feeling.
As far as my brand, I am the same person online as I am in real life. You want to build a course and sell with Reels? I can teach you how with my no BS approach to social and courses.
Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Besides seeing my clients happy, I love to run and spend time with my kids. Being a mom and watching my kids develop into young people is pretty awesome.
I also love to travel because you get a new perspective on the world. It is usually the only time I take a complete break from work and can reset my mind.
