The Consistency Corner
Ruthie Sterrett | Social Media Marketing Strategist
Social Media is NOT a marketing strategy, just like a coffee cup isn't coffee. It's a container.
This podcast helps you fill the social media container, without the overwhem of constant content creation, AND gives actionable strategies on how to market outside of social media to amplify your message.
Host Ruthie Sterrett is a content and marketing strategist and founder of The Consistency Corner, an integrated social media marketing agency that helps brands that support moms amplify their message and mission.
On this podcast we’ll talk all things content, marketing, and entrepreneurship and cheer on brands supporting moms (because we need all the help we can get, right!?)
Ruthie loves all things strategy, personal development, calendar planning, shopping and a good glass of Sauvingion Blanc, and of course, cheering on other women in business, especially those advocating for moms.

Unfiltered Friday: How to Step Away From Social Media with Amy Mills from Create Bakery
The Consistency Corner
09/01/23 • 36 min
In this episode, we're joined by Amy Mills, the owner of Create Bakery and Gifts. We take a deep dive into her business journey, from her initial baking experiments to becoming a full-time business with multiple wholesale accounts. We also discuss how crucial marketing, and specifically a targeted content plan, was in taking her business to the next level.
Here are some more details on what we chat about:
- Networking Matters: Amy and Ruthie met in a networking group and emphasize the importance of putting oneself in new rooms, even if it's uncomfortable.
- Taking Risks: Amy took the leap to move to a commercial kitchen space, turning a challenge into an opportunity during the pandemic
- Wearing Many Hats: As a business owner, you're often your own marketer, finance manager, and chef all rolled into one. Juggling these roles can be exhausting, especially when your passion is being in the kitchen, creating new recipes.
- Marketing Fatigue: Consistency is crucial, but it can lead to burnout. Fresh ideas and external perspectives can reinvigorate your marketing strategies.
- 9-Grid Concept: Ruthie introduces Amy to the 9-grid content plan on Instagram, an effective way to tell your story on social media.

BONUS EPISODE: Feeling Bored with Social Media? Do These 5 Things.
The Consistency Corner
07/14/23 • 24 min
Bonus Episode Alert! Friday episodes might become a regular thing, but for now I wanted to drop this as a bonus to talk about how I've been feeling burnt out and bored with social media recently.
If you've felt the boredom or burnout too, listen in for what I'm trying to bring back the energy:
**Create More Than You Consume:** This does not necessarily mean creating more social media content, but could involve focusing on developing more engaging long-form content like podcasts, emails, or blog posts. This approach allows Ruthie to serve her audience without being entirely dependent on social media algorithms.
**Use Social Media for Genuine Connection:** Ruthie intends to use social media to interact with people she admires and enjoys. She plans to do this by sending direct messages to friends or people who create content that she appreciates, sparking conversations rather than promoting her own products or services.
**Lean into Long Form Content:** Long-form content (like podcasts, blogs, or videos) can be repurposed over time. It also provides a more sustainable content strategy that doesn't rely solely on social media.
**Take Time Away from Screens:** Ruthie recommends taking breaks from digital devices to stimulate the brain differently. This could involve going outside, taking walks, or reading physical books.
**Audit Who You're Following:** Ruthie suggests an audit of who you follow on social media, and unfollowing those whose content doesn't serve you, bring you joy, or provide value. This action allows the content that truly matters to take center stage in your feed.
Finally, Ruthie reminds you that while social media is a valuable tool for marketing, it isn't the only one. Other strategies like messaging, branding, networking, email marketing, and website navigation can also play vital roles in a business's marketing plan.
- Ruthie also mentions her new offer, the "Done for You Nine Grid", a tool designed to help businesses maintain their social media presence without feeling overwhelmed. You can literally set it and forget it and stop worrying about grid content for Instagram.
Love these types of Bonus episodes! Send me a DM on Instagram and let me know, and share what we should talk about next week!

The Consistency Corner
02/20/23 • 33 min
I'm so excited to share this interview with you on the podcast - I'm bringing on my friend Lindsay Dollinger!
Lindsay is a high school Spanish teacher who started off building an online business as a network marketer, growing her team and business to the top 1% of the company.

In addition to her love of helping women build a successful online business, Lindsay is passionate about living a healthy and fulfilling life. She values her family, her doggy — Bella, a good book or podcast, an exhausting work out, traveling all over the world, and spending time laughing with friends. Lindsay loves supporting entrepreneurs (shout out to all the bosses out there!) and is a fierce advocate of many causes.
During this interview we chatted about:
- How Lindsay discovered her own personal brand when she was still a teacher with a side hustle and how that has evolved over the years.
- Advice Lindsay has about building confidence in marketing while working in direct sales.
