Hi! I’m Se’Kiara (See-Kara), and I would like to tell you a little about my reasoning of wanting to be an Entrepreneur, and how I started my journey. Since I was ten, I’ve always had a clear vision that I didn’t want to work for anyone else. I started planning out my life at […]
How I Defer From My Distractions
My day to day work changes constantly, being a stay at home Mom/Boss/Entrepreneur. I think we all have interference in the way of life, but who really sits back and is like okay, “Hold up God, how do I change the direction this ended up turning?” I used to not see it coming until my […]

Is affiliate or multi-level marketing better?
I think multi-level affiliate marketing is best, which is the whole reason I created Smartr Marketing, but since it is a new concept to some, a lot of people may not know the difference… or that there is a better to option to begin with. So, getting back to basics, is affiliate marketing better? Or […]
Why give new customers discounts instead of paying referral fees?
That thought has never made any sense to me either. I always think it’s funny whenever a company charges me full price but the tells me they will give my friend a discount if I refer someone to them. It makes very little sense to me. If anything, I need to be rewarded for sending […]
