“They're like, well, I don't know if I have the money to do marketing.I'm like, if your marketing is garbage, you're not going to make money. You have to have good marketing.”
In this episode of Startups and Stilettos, hosts Ingrid Zapata-Read and Carlyn Bushman sit down with Jamie Keane, founder of Julip — the innovative “website-in-bio” platform helping creators and solopreneurs build stunning, functional websites in just 20 minutes.
