Ep #118: How This Rural Social Media Manager Got Fully Booked (and Helped Her Clients Grow Too)
May 20, 2025
Today’s guest, Jordon Egelston, is a former nurse and mom of two who now runs a fully booked social media management business serving rural small businesses in Upstate New York.
In this episode, we talk about what’s really working for local marketing in small towns — and how Jordon proved you can build a thriving business, no matter how rural your area is.
Tune into this episode to learn:
- Why most rural business owners aren't seeing traction on social media -- and what to do instead
- The mindset shifts Jordon made to go from self-doubt to fully booked (and what finally made it click)
- Why living in a rural town doesn’t have to limit your income, success or impact
