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...

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_outlineMany people believe that consistency means showing up every single day without a break, but I don't see that as sustainable. In addition, content strategies must shift not only to the demands of the market but also to personal life demands as well.
Over the past eight years of being a business owner, my content strategy has shifted numerous times. I've learned to value intentional breaks, which allow me to recharge and continue delivering valuable content, as well as completely overhauling my strategy when it no longer serves me.
If you've noticed a theme in our recent Authentic Brand Builder Podcast episodes, you're not alone. We're all about sharing behind-the-scenes lessons and experiences directly from my journey.
As you know, storytelling is a core part of my message, and today, I'm excited to dive into discussing my content strategy and how it’s changed throughout the years, and what drove those changes.
I'm pulling back the curtain to share my evolving content strategy over the past eight years as a business owner.
Inside today’s episode of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:
-
The evolution of my content strategy throughout my eight years as a business owner, from the birth of my son, traveling in an RV, and today.
-
The unrealistic expectation of daily consistency when it comes to content creation and how I’ve shifted my strategy to meet both personal and business demands.
-
The importance of adapting strategies to fit lifestyle changes to maintain effectiveness without burnout.
Personally, I think this is the perfect episode to watch or listen to because of the storytelling aspect.
