Episode 30 with Amanda Laird, slow & steady studio
Content Marketing Works Best When It's Something You Love to Do!
How do new entrepreneurs leverage the power of digital marketing to increase their visibility and get their brand in front of their future customers without drowning in the sea of content creation currently sweeping social media apps like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Threads, PLUS SEO searchable content on Google like Blogs, YouTube videos and Podcasts, PLUS email marketing to their email subscribers?
Oh, and should I mention that content marketing is not enough if you're not pairing it with a clear, systemized sales system?

- Getting clear on whether you want 10,000 followers or $10,000 per month
- Why you gotta look at your content marketing metrics to know what's working and what's not
