My Fractional Journey
My journey to fractional marketing was bumpy to say the least. I was always interested in building a side gig, but wasn't sure where to start. I would take on the occasional paid gig when a friend or family member needed some help with Google ads or building a website. It was sporadic, time consuming, and at times I felt like I was lost. I had so many questions and no one to help me.

Common fractional operating questions we help you answer
Hourly vs. Retainer billing?
Performance or outcome based?
What is the best way to send invoices?
What platform should I use to get paid?
How do I manage my calendar for full time and fractional?
How do I get new clients?
Do I need a website?
These questions made me realize that there wasn’t a community or guide to help people get started. I knew I needed to invest serious time into learning how to do this the right way. Over the next two years, I dove in, networking relentlessly and connecting with some of the most successful fractional professionals who were generous enough to share their insights. Luckily, I wasn’t alone—I had a friend join me on this exciting journey. Inspired to organize everything I had learned and create a space for others on the same path, I founded the Fractional Growth Exchange.

It was a serious time commitment, and I'm forever grateful for those Fractionals that spent the time with me. Fast forward to today: Now I have a thriving fractional business. In early 2024, I quit my full time job as a VP of Marketing, and now I make more than double what I was making in corporate America. I decide who I want to work with and make my own hours. I usually take Fridays off to spend time with my family, and I absolutely love what I do. I realize some people just want to make an extra $5k to $10k per month and keep their full time job with vacation and benefits. That is absolutely doable. And, by the way, this is not just for CMOs or VPs of marketing. This is for anyone who works in marketing with a valuable skill set.
