Mon, 11 Nov 2024

Description

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kat Norton discovered TikTok and found it odd that there was no Excel content on the platform. She decided to start posting dance-infused tutorials, and her videos went viral. She then launched multiple Excel courses that quickly generated more income than her corporate salary. This allowed her to leave her job and turn Miss Excel into a multimillion-dollar business. In today’s episode, Kat shares how she transformed her love for dancing and spreadsheets into a viral sensation and a lucrative business. She also breaks down her strategies to go viral, monetize her passion, and build a sustainable business.
