Jeanette's Way: Advocating For Other Artists Drives A Flurry Of Ongoing Success

Accomplished Artist and U.S. Veteran Jeanette Jordan is a great example of an entrepreneur who's always looking out for her peers, helping them drive their businesses forward as she's growing her own. 

She's also someone who knows how to really nurture her new business relationships -- creating mutually rewarding partnerships that turn into everything from friendships and advocacy efforts to great referrals and even  TV programming!  

And she's done all of this in less than a year on Alignable! 

(I know, this article is giving me chills, too, even as I'm writing it. Buckle up, folks, there's a true feel-good story just up ahead). 

Achieving Business Networking Success On Alignable 

Jeanette has followed several of the well-paved roads to business networking success on Alignable, including: 

• connecting with many new contacts, seeking & nurturing the most valuable relationships
• referring business to her peers that she has gotten to know, like, and trust
• upgrading to a Premium Plus membership to expand her network significantly, while reaping many other benefits, and
• becoming a very active and supportive leader of the Arts & Crafts Group. 

However, being the creative and highly energized person she is, she also has forged her own path toward entrepreneurial victories in very innovative and impressive ways.  

One of those was collaborating with another Alignable member, Jenny Dial, on a very lively and entertaining YouTube show called "Having Fun with J&J," which showcases and interviews other Alignable artists, crafters, and chefs on a weekly basis. 

This show has done a lot to help other creative people to tell their stories and promote their art. 

"Creative Spirit" On Roku & Fire TV

And the "Having Fun With J & J" show yielded an opportunity with Roku and Fire TV for a new effort, the "Creative Spirit" channel, which just debuted on Fire TV and lands on Roku TV tomorrow -- July 15th! (I know! How awesome is that?).

The way Jeanette explains it, "Creative Spirit" will give many Alignable members the opportunity to reach entirely new audiences through interviews and even their own ads. She is also very much involved in producing the Roku programming. 

But, before I get too carried away telling all of Jeanette's exciting story, let me share her very detailed testimonial, which demonstrates just how powerful business networking on this platform can become -- in a relatively short time! 

What Has Worked Best For Jeanette -- In Her Own Words

Hello, my name is Jeanette Jordan, the owner of Creations of the Heart Art. 

In August 2023, I found myself struggling with slow business growth despite my consistent social media efforts. 

My friend, Francis, invited me to join Alignable, but I was initially hesitant due to my past experiences with platforms that didn't deliver on their promises. However, I decided to give it a try, signing up for a free account.

To my surprise, I quickly became hooked on Alignable's features. The groups, free business classes, and resources were incredibly valuable. 

I learned how to create Google business referrals, refine my Shopify store, and master elevator pitches. 

My commitment to learning everything Alignable had to offer soon paid off, and within six months, I upgraded to a Premium Plus membership.

Forming Business Networking Relationships 

Through Alignable, I connected with amazing people who have become both friends and family. 

One notable connection was with Jenny Dial from EvesNest.com. She invited me for an interview, which lasted almost two hours because of our great rapport. 

Although the interview wasn't aired due to its length, it marked the beginning of many valuable relationships. I also joined networks like Biz Storming by Brittany Jones and OTB by Sarah Davis, expanding my connections further.

As a female veteran with 20 years of service in the United States Army, I started painting while stationed in Kuwait. After returning home in 2014, I transitioned to creating custom-made clocks and I officially launched my business. 

Despite my efforts, it wasn't until I joined Alignable that my business truly flourished. I dedicated over eight hours a day to learning and applying Alignable's resources to my business.

Joining The Arts and Crafts Group

I found the Arts and Crafts Group on Alignable, with its 43,000 members, and I immediately wanted to get involved in a big way. I applied to be the co-leader and was approved. 

This role motivated me to organize classes and advocate for Alignable, as it was helping me build my business. I also helped others improve their Alignable pages, sharing my knowledge on creating banners, attending Smart Connect℠ events, and optimizing each tab.

Jenny Dial later invited me to start a YouTube channel, "Having Fun With J and J," which grew from 2 to 560 subscribers in a short time. 

This success led to an opportunity with Roku Channel TV, launching "Creative Spirit" on July 15th. Our show features crafters and their businesses, offering both ads and 30-minute segments for them to showcase their work.

Thanks to Alignable, my business has grown beyond my expectations. This platform has outperformed LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X in supporting my business and team. I am grateful to Alignable for being a true asset to businesses across North America.

Today, 92% of my orders now come from Alignable!

WOW, Jeanette, what a story. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Everyone else -- we'll likely be writing a follow-up article about the Creative Spirit programming in a few weeks, after the show debuts on Roku and the dust settles. 

But you can see more about it here: www.creativespiritchannel.com, in the meantime. 

And feel free to reach out to Jeanette, asking her for more details around how you might be able to get involved in this Roku effort or her YouTube show. 

Before I wrap up here, I wanted to remind everyone that Alignable's most-awesome networkers -- including Jeanette -- often show up for my Power Networking Hour on Wednesday afternoons at 1 p.m. ET. 

So, if you want to hear more success stories like this one, and connect with other networking superstars, please register for our next event on July 18th. Here is the link. 

It's a fun, uplifting Group Get-Together where all 22 of us (or more) stay in the main room, without splitting up for Smart Connect℠ meetings. 

We all just support each other and network together -- so no one misses any great information to push their business forward. 

Thanks again for reading and if you have a great Alignable success story you want to share, please email me at chuck@alignable.com, and we'll review your submission. 

If we choose to feature your story, you could also end up in a future newsletter, which is emailed to an audience of 2.7 million small business people!
