Hala Taha: Turn LinkedIn Engagement Into Paying Clients | Marketing

Description

Hala Taha knew how to grow on social media, but struggled to turn attention into income. After facing major setbacks including being fired from radio and having an MTV project canceled, she shut down her website to earn her MBA and built a corporate career. Years later, guests on her side-hustle podcast began asking for LinkedIn help. That demand became an agency, which landed a $30,000 monthly client and grew to 30 paid employees within six months. In this episode, Hala joins host Jenna Kutcher on The Goal Digger Podcast to share how to grow an engaged LinkedIn audience, create content that attracts your ideal customers, and build a recognizable personal brand.
