088: Turbocharge Your Content Creation Process w/Marijana Kostelac

Have you ever seen a content strategy fail to perform because things don’t get executed? It can be frustrating to have the best SEO plan, content plan or marketing plan – only to have it fall short because things just don’t get done.

In today’s episode, my guest Marijana Kostelac is going to teach us how to audit and improve upon your content creation process – whether you’re a solo content creator or working in a team. We also chat a little about how to earn conversions with your content, pop-ups and podcasting.

Enjoy!
