Today we’re talking with Stacy Caprio, owner of Her.CEO. Coming from an average 9-5 job in the marketing industry, Stacy always was looking for ways to branch out on her own and become her own boss with power over her earnings and schedule. She dabbled in starting a few affiliate sites which never really left the ground. It was only after reading a blog entry about buying websites on Flippa that she was inspired to buy a few of her own. After growing those sites enough to do it full time, Stacy was hooked. She now has a business called Her.CEO that helps to direct people in successfully starting a blog, buying or selling a website, making money with affiliate marketing, and more. To date Stacy says she has only invested $40k and has been able to see a massive ROI. Though she likes to work solo, Stacy is passionate about helping as many people to have the same success she’s had as she can. -- The Exit - Presented By Flippa: A 30-minute podcast featuring expert entrepreneurs who have been there and done it.
