#1: Jessica Glendinning, founder of Your Virtual Doula:

We chatted with with Jessica, founder of Your Virtual Doula ($200/month). In our interview, Jessica says:

I would highly recommend in-person conventions and/or expos to anyone starting their own business but especially if it is an online business. Having an exclusively virtual business can sometimes cause neglect in one’s ability to sell person to person.

Additionally:

Additionally:
