At Stand Out Be You, we’re working to answer the big questions in life and business: How do you stand out? What’s your message? How do you share your story with others? 
On today’s episode, our guest touches on all of these questions—and much more. Amanda Tento is a wife, a business owner, and a determined mom of three who’s passionate about helping women get found on the internet. By providing organic marketing services, Amanda helps other moms who own their own business get seen on Google.
If your aim is to land on the front page of Google and to grow your business, you’ll definitely want to hear this episode! Amanda’s messages and strategies are perfect for moms running businesses or for any solopreneurs looking for a fresh start.
Your skills are already there. You just have to sit back take a moment, and just rewind and think about all the things that you can do. We don’t always take the time to just write it out, and just say how good you really are.
Everyone wants to use their skills and passions to create their ideal lifestyle. (That’s probably why you’re listening to this podcast!) Most of the time, we also tend to think, “Once I use my skills to create my own business, I’ll be finally able to live the life that I’ve always wanted.” But unfortunately, that’s not always the case! As we learn and grow, we realize that we have to work hard to strike a balance in order to become more time-rich.
For Amanda, this was especially true—and she speaks candidly about how she began to find success and strike that balance. When she first became a mom, Amanda was so busy working that she didn’t have much time to spend with her daughters early on. But SEO was her biggest skill, and she soon became determined to make money from home without returning to work.
That’s when she started her own digital marketing agency, The Determined Mom. With SEO as its main focus, the business is geared toward mom business owners and CEOs who need help with a myriad of different marketing needs. Plus, Amanda loves empowering and helping others to build a business and be a mom at the same time, employing moms who want to stay at home and work even with kids underfoot.
With plenty of tips on everything from time management, parenting, and SEO strategies, Amanda has a wealth of information to share. Don’t miss out!
