Here’s how Ina Bakalova helps business owners monetize their content. Ina graduated with a first-class degree from a top university and got fired from her first and only job. She's always known that she's wanted her own business, but she didn't know exactly what. She started investing in property, mostly for the money. In doing so she discovered her true unique place in the world, which is helping other educational creators and online business owners monetize their content and launch a consulting business.Ina had a very small savings pot that she used to invest in the first round of making her product. She basically ran out of money and realized that if she wanted to have a business, a service-based business was probably a better idea. It's because she didn't want to invest vast amounts of capital.Ina wanted a way to monetize what she already knew, without having to spend a lot of money doing that. And that's kind of how she got into social media and her online consulting.KEY QUESTIONS:Virginia  05:03 So do you work just with the realtor niche now?
