141: Frustrated With Marketing? Try This!
Authentic Brand Builders Podcast
Lately, I've been diving deep into the topics of content creation and marketing, releasing videos and podcast episodes about consistency, top-of-the-funnel strategies, and everything you need to market your business effectively. Why? Becaus, marketing your business can be incredibly frustrating. But here's the truth: Marketing is essential. It's how your brand gets seen and ultimately, how your brand gets paid. However, one common issue my clients and I experience is feeling disconnected from our own content. When you're disconnected, your audience feels it too. Today, I’m sharing how...

Your content is getting views. Your emails are getting opened. You’re showing up consistently, just like all the marketing experts (including myself) tell you to… but your audience still isn’t converting. If you’ve been wondering why your content isn’t leading to more sales, the problem likely isn’t the platform, the algorithm, or even the offer itself. It’s your messaging. Messaging is the foundation of everything in your brand. It’s how you communicate what you do, who you serve, and why your audience should choose you over someone else. However, many entrepreneurs make...

info_outlineAs a business owner and entrepreneur, I frequently preach the benefits of taking time off. I truly believe that taking not only a week off every quarter, but also an extended period of time where you’re working less can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Over the past three years, I’ve prioritized taking the summer off of creating new content and have implemented four key habits that have helped me ground myself and prepare for the busy season of fall and winter. I’m able to due this because I focus on sharing my content on evergreen, search engine platforms which means my content is still working even when I’m not!
If you’re considering taking some time off this summer or restructuring your schedule to allow more time for other things, this post will give you some summer habits I swear by.
Inside today’s episode of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:
-
Why analysis is so important as a business owner, and my top platforms and tools I use to take a deeper dive.
-
What I do with my time when I’m not over here creating new content, and how these habits help me sustain revenue and prepare for the busy season.
-
The type of content I prioritze throughout the year to make this break possible and take some time to work less, and truly ground myself.
