Denise Wakeman shares some thoughts about being an introvert running a successful online business
For those who don’t know her, Denise Wakeman is a well-respected internet marketing strategist and co-founder of the Blog Squad. She graciously accepted to be interviewed last week on her take on sensitive people having businesses online, and it was a fun conversation.
She had never looked the topic of “sensitive people in business” before but as an introvert, she had a lot of experience to share. (The majority of sensitive people are introverts, though not all introverts are sensitive).
Being online running her own business was a perfect solution for her as it allowed her the independence she craved, time flexibility and shielded her from having to deal with people face-to-face.
When I asked her about the bane of most introverted business owners’ life, marketing, she explained that social media had changed everything for her because she’s most comfortable with the written word and was able to connect with people freely through her blog posts and tweets. It works so well with her that many people that know her through social media may not realize that she’s quite an introvert.
That strategy works so well for her it even removed her discomfort about going to live events. You know how it is when you go to an event and feel nervous about meeting new people, whether you’ll feel out of place of included, etc. Well Denise solved the problem by tweeting ahead of time: “Who’s going to be at XYZ event?” and gets comfortable with some fellow attendees in advance. No concerns about not knowing anyone; brilliant!

Actually, Denise was very gracious and easy to talk to. How did I get her to agree to the interview in the first place? I e-mailed her and outlined my vision about supporting entrepreneurs with sensitive natures, and I think she was intrigued and also related to it because she’s an introvert (not quite the same but a lot of overlap). I am very grateful for her time.
What a great topic, Helene. I think there are a lot of closet sensitives out there and doing business on the Internet could be the answer for the.
Helene,
How did you get Denise to open up to you and spill the beans?
