A first-time business owner won't probably think about all the marketing involved to attract, convert, and maintain clients---and understandably so.
Your excitement about the new venture can overpower any thought about the multitude of ways your product and/or services can be shared with the world.
The truth is â unless youâre an experienced marketer, itâs very easy to miss key practices when it comes to your content marketing strategy. And missing these things could mean missing opportunities and sales.
But itâs not your fault. You donât know what you donât know.
In today's episode repurposed from a blog, Iâll highlight some of the mistakes and missing pieces in many content marketing strategies.
Let's dive in!

Why are people scared of writing sales pages?
Is there really a psychology to these pages?
And if so, why should I care?
Isn't everyone different?
I dissect the sales page with Sarah Walton to understand more about the science behind it and how to put an effective one that converts leads into paying clients.
Sarah Walton is a business mentor whoâs been featured on The Today Show, speaks at womenâs conferences all over the world, and has helped hundreds of women start and grow businesses they LOVE.
I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did!

When things get tough or overwhelming, itâs very easy to just do nothing.
However, procrastination doesnât move your business forwardâŠ
Rather than getting frustrated with yourself, I recommend trying out a productivity and time management âhackâ called âThe Pomodoro Techniqueâ. Also known as âThe Pomodoro Methodâ.
You might have heard of it. Or maybe itâs a brand new concept for you.
Either way, I highly recommend trying The Pomodoro Technique to increase your productivity in just 25 minute blocks. Iâve personally benefited from this strategy and I think you will too. (In fact, this blog article was written during multiple Pomodoro sessions!)
Letâs take a deep dive into whatâs involved and why you need to give it a crack!

Let me just say this â Iâm not rocking in the corner in a sweaty panic. Iâm actually excited about it!
In fact, Iâm going to use this tool to help me write my blogs.
But the keyword here is help.
While you might choose to ask this currently-free AI tool to handle your content marketing, like blogs, social media posts, e-newsletter content, and webinar and podcast scripts â you canât simply accept whatever content ChatGPT spits out at you and then publish it without a second thought.
Iâm sorry to say â it still requires human intervention. So, please donât get lazy!
In todayâs episode,Iâll highlight the ways that ChatGPT can be your friend (aka benefit your business) and possibly be your foe (aka ways it could bring you down).
Letâs jump into the episode.

After 150 episodes of 'Marketing and Me', I'm excited to announce that my podcast has gone through a re-brand!
Yes - I'm now owning my personal brand...although it's a tad scary.
It turns out that searching 'Marketing and Me' on podcast platforms - when the term 'marketing' is heavily utilised - makes it somewhat tricky to find. But if you look up my name....bingo!
Also - as advised by my mentor, Kate Toon, on my recent business retreat, it's time to step into my own power.
Still talking about marketing, business growth, and mindset. Still have a mix of solo and guest episodes.
Just a different name and jingle.
Enjoy!

Are you struggling to get through the important tasks on your to-do list?
And Iâm not talking about client work here.
Iâm talking about the essential backend business stuff that you know you really *should* be doing to improve your cashflow and grow.
Are you constantly making excusesâŠand not taking any action?
Or perhaps youâre taking action - but choosing to do the quick and easy tasks, rather than the (slightly or much harder) ones that will drive your business forward?
Well, this is where accountability comes in.
As a business owner, being held accountable by another person or a group is often key to ensuring the right things happen.
It means you canât get away with lying to yourself or pretending that a task never needed to be done in the first place.
Because someone else will remind you.
Reward you.
Or even punish you. (If you find that works betterâŠ. )
Or maybe youâll just feel embarrassed if it doesnât happen after announcing it to the world.
Whichever accountability methods you choose, I personally know it works very well. Especially as someone who has self-diagnosed Shiny Object Syndrome and regularly jumps from task to task.

So Iâm guessing youâre familiar with DISC profiling - or have taken other personality or psychometric tests in the past.
You probably did one in a past life as an employee, right?
But do you know how to optimise this tool yourself, now as a business owner, to improve your sales and marketing?
In todayâs episode of Marketing and Me, Iâm chatting with Carole Issa from Leadership Activators who is delving into this fascinating topic.
And she has made me see DISC profiling in a whole new light!

Wondering whether business blogging is still relevant in 2023?
The short answer is â YES!
Just the other day, a close business owner friend exclaimed âBlogging feels dated to me â like 2010s. Everyone is talking about social media content now. So blogging feels like old newsâŠMy brain thinks blogging is only relevant to those who have SEO requirements to meet.â
While I know her opinions are shared by many other business owners out there â itâs actually far from the truth.
Please remember this key bit of information:
One blog = a core piece of content that can be repurposed in many ways for your business.
In other words â blogs act as springboards for your content marketing strategy.
Iâm pretty sure youâve heard about content marketing? If not, itâs basically the organic strategy that builds your visibility in the online word. That involves consistently showing up and sharing valuable content to build that âknow, like, and trust factorâ.
And writing a monthly or fortnightly blog for your business gives you a fantastic starting point!
Letâs jump into the episode on why you need to blog in 2023.

Hello my dear listener - happy new year!
Do you choose a âword for the year?â Itâs something Iâve personally done for a few years now - rather than create a bunch of New Yearâs resolutions that are already forgotten by Australia Day.
(Thatâs 26th January for my overseas listenersâŠ)
The process of choosing a word helps you focus on the goals and actions you want to work on for the next year. It also helps you determine your priorities, like whether you will concentrate on family, personal growth, career, etc.
In todayâs episode, Iâll talk through my chosen word for 2023 and words chosen by some fellow businesswomen I know.
If you havenât already picked yours for the year, this episode will hopefully spark off some ideas!
Letâs get started!

In both your business and personal life.

How do you feel about your current website?
Do you cringe when you look at it - or hear that potential clients have checked it out?
Maybe you feel itâs a poor representation of you and your brand.
Or itâs simply butt ugly and looks extremely outdated.
You just know it sticks out for all the wrong reasons when compared with your competitors.
Well, I can totally relate!
But - I have just launched a new website! Which was months and months in the making - with many highs and lows. It involved a complete makeover.
Anyone who has seen me in recent months would have heard about this project and my keenness to get it off the ground.
Iâve experienced some frustrations along the way, which I want to help you avoid from todayâs episode. Even though itâs easy to blame others, ultimately I need to own those frustrations and acknowledge everything comes down to me.
So Iâve got 7 tips for launching a new website to share with you.
For regular listeners, you probably noticed that I went a bit AWOL with the Marketing & Me podcast over the last month or so. Well, it was predominantly due to my âwork-on-business-timeâ being consumed by the new project - as well as wanting to avoid the creation of extra show notes pages for the web developers. They already have 143 pages to deal withâŠhaha.
And I also admit to losing momentum with the show a bit!
But Iâm back on board and keen to re-ignite the podcast by talking about my experiences around the new website - and my tips for ensuring a smooth process if youâre about to - or have plans to - revamp yours. Or set up your first website for the first time!
Letâs jump into the episode.

Iâm mostly a happy, positive person. But every now and again, I get somewhat agitated.
Yes, itâs mostly around my kidsâŠ.But more recently it was about a podcast Iâve been listening to for quite a while.
Now I love listening to podcasts - and when I find a good one, I binge on it. And unfortunately, I was recently annoyed by one particular episode of this showâŠ.which inspired me to record an episode on podcast no-nos - for anyone out there who has their own podcast or thinking of starting one up.
