Hi! If you are looking for a more formal, corporate "what I do", please scootch on down below. For now, I want to tell you a little about myself, what I have accomplished and where I am still a work in progress!
The guy up top there is my husband of 16 years, Johnny Jacobsen. He is a great guy who sometimes wonders why his entrepreneurial wife can't just get a 9-to-job like everyone else. BUT, that said, he is very supportive of my choice to be an entrepreneur and make my own way in the world!
The three in the middle are our kids! Now, we are probably a little more excited than most to have kids because we adopted them years ago and we are all hard at work trying to get the our new family figured out. The one thing that I noticed after a while of having them is that I had much less time to work IN my business then I had had when Johnny and I were alone (imagine that!) No more weekends grinding out a new product or hours spent building websites for someone else, I had to get super focused and know EXACTLY what I liked most about my business so I could make adjustments and free up some time.
So that is my wish for you. Whether you want to start a new Etsy shop, start blogging, market your business or just finally get your time management figured out, please get clarity in your business to know what YOU love. Make sure you are spending time on what gives YOU joy and most of all...make sure you are having a BLAST!!!
About Marketing Artfully (Tara L. Jacobsen, PA)
Marketing Artfully is where strategy meets a little bit of sparkle. I’ve been doing marketing since way back in 1999 (yes, before social media was even a thing!) and working online since 2008. With a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kent State, I’ve learned one universal truth: entrepreneurs are all a little crazy - in the best, most brilliant way - and I adore helping us channel that energy into real results!
This site is my happy place to share everything I’ve learned over decades of marketing, teaching, experimenting, and reinventing. I love creating courses, resources, and no-fluff how-to guides that help my peeps grow their businesses, simplify their processes, and actually enjoy the ride. Whether you’re here for Pinterest strategy, seasonal marketing, aesthetic branding, or smart ways to make money online, you’ll find tools, tips, and a whole lot of cheerleading to help you move forward.
Because at Marketing Artfully, we do marketing that works - and we have fun doing it!
