There are people you simply have to admire because they take bold action and make a real difference. Silke Stein is one of those people: an independent marketing consultant, networker, volunteer, lecturer, and mother. And above all: A businesswoman with integrity, who doesn\u2019t just live self-employment for herself, but makes it possible for others as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a marketing consultant, Silke supports solo self-employed professionals, small businesses, associations, and local initiatives in building visibility, clarifying their message, and creating websites that truly make an impact. She brings not only 20 years of experience to the table but also the right tools. One of the most important ones: Jimdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silke + Jimdo = Visibility that lasts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silke<\/a>`s Website<\/a> is built with Jimdo. And not only that, she also actively uses the platform in her work with clients because it simply works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNot everyone needs a highly complex website. For many of my clients, Jimdo is the perfect solution: fast, legally compliant, easy to update yourself, well-optimized for Google thanks to built-in SEO settings, and with the Jimdo Companion<\/a>, you even get personalized  AI support to help build and grow your business .\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A new marketing studio – for ideas, connections, collaboration, and entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On December 1, 2025, Silke opened her brand-new marketing studio in Schwandorf: A space for content creation, networking events, workshops, and 1:1 consulting. What makes it special? Self-employed professionals from the region will be able to rent the space by the hour, whether for client meetings, creative sessions, or even as a temporary pop-up store. We\u2019re already looking forward to the next JIMDOConnect event in this inspiring new location! With this idea, Silke is not only reshaping her own way of working, she\u2019s creating a space for self-employment right in the heart of Schwandorf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLocal marketing thrives on closeness, authenticity, and community – it\u2019s about cooperation, not competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Silke works strategically, connects people, and inspires action. <\/strong>Her strength? She breaks down complex topics into clear, actionable steps, guiding her clients with a sharp mind and a big heart. With tools like Jimdo, focused consulting, and a well-connected community, she provides everything needed to truly build visibility as a self-employed professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Silke\u2019s tips for your self-employment journey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Find your WHY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore you get started, figure out your why. Are you looking for freedom? Purpose? Or simply to earn money?
Once you’re clear on your motivation, everything becomes easier. But no one else can define that inner drive for you \u2013 it\u2019s something you have to discover yourself. That\u2019s how your path truly becomes your own.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborate locally<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish more small towns and local businesses would start thinking differently.
Be bold and try new concepts. Come together and support each other.
Local marketing means building community \u2013 not competing with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use local directories<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cList your business in online directories and local platforms \u2013 and seek out partnerships with regional businesses. That helps you gain stronger backlinks and more visibility in your area.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
