If you're running a small business and you're still in the solopreneur phase or if you just have the support of one part-time VA, creating consistent, quality content can feel borderline impossible.

In today's episode, we're tackling the question: How do you make time to create quality content that connects if you're a small marketing team of only one or two people?

STEP ONE: Establish your brand's core content topics; those of which will be the key topics discussed within your blog or podcast.
STEP TWO: Outline the three social content pillars - Educate, Engage, Convert - into your social content calendar.
STEP THREE: Pull aspects of your weekly core brand content and integrate these into educational, engagement driving, and conversion-based social posts.
STEP FOUR: Repeat the process weekly to ensure a full and complete content calendar that connects and converts your audience into clients.

Are you a small business owner who struggles to motivate during the winter months? If you’re like me, winter is the hardest time to stay productive, focus, and make progress. I struggle with seasonal affective disorder, which basically means my depression increases and intensifies as the days get colder and darker.

Mental health is IMPORTANT, friend. If you struggle with seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder as an entrepreneur, it can be detrimental for your business. In this episode, I discuss how to prepare for the shorter, darker colder months as an entrepreneur who struggles with depression. 

Facts I want to leave you with:

Please remember that if you're struggling with your mental health, you're not alone.

If you feel like your marketing sucks… here’s why it may seem that way.

Digital Marketing allows you to reach billions of people online, but unless you hyper-focus your content to specifically help your ICA, the content you create will get lost in the shuffle.

The online space allows you to reach billions of people all over the world. But when you're not zeroing in on who you really want to reach.... having access to billions of eyes will be as effective as throwing spaghetti on the wall.

Yes, I'm comparing your social media caption to a jelly donut and yes, now I'm also craving a donut. 

Each Instagram post’s first 150 characters are like the first bite of a donut; if it's not oozing with goodness or entices you with what's to come... why bother continuing. Your hook is your only opportunity to get your audience to read the REST of your jelly-filled caption.

Tune in for a few quick tips to make the most out of your caption's hook.

If you're not already familiar with my proprietary system for converting Instagram followers into clients. Let me introduce you to The WAND Method™.  The WAND Method is a four-step framework that you can implement today, to start using Instagram as a client converting machine.

The only catch is... before you can start using the WAND method you need to have your ideal customer completely mapped out.

The first step of the WAND method is to WOW your audience at first glance. But in order to do that... you need to Identify Your Ideal Customer.

Without properly identifying exactly who your business is serving, the content you create will be misguided.

All content you publish should be directly talking to your ideal customer or ICA.

If you’re unsure of who your Ideal Customer truly is, get ready because we're about to break down everything you need to know about defining who your ICA is.

Most small business owners don’t struggle to create content. They struggle to create consistent content for extended periods of time. Successful content marketing isn’t defined by a one-hit-wonder, or one piece of content going viral overnight. True success is derived from continually being your ideal customer’s go-to source for information.

It’s clear that you need to create more content, but with so many tasks on your plate, you’re in desperate need of understanding how to create more content in less time. 

Hear me when I say that I totally understand the frustration. That’s exactly why I want to share a few best practices for repurposing content. 

Being able to repurpose your anchor (long-form) content across multiple social media platforms will save you ample time and make your content creation process much easier.
