Best advice for picking your online marketing strategy as a solopreneur
Figuring out HOW to market your products and services can be really tough.
There are so many amazing-sounding strategies out there, and since they’re about marketing you know they’re also being really well marketing to you to give them a try (and buy that marketer’s course / product / services in the process).
But knowing which marketing strategies and activities are actually going to work for YOU is a whole other problem.
In this blog post, I’m sharing my best advice on figuring out which marketing strategies are going to work best for you - as an individual - to get your offers in front of the right people.
Why you need to find a marketing strategy you actually enjoy doing
In some business owners’ minds "Marketing" is becoming akin to a curse word...
And it's not because marketing is bad! Far from it, it's literally the lifeblood of your business.
It’s because the marketing activities many small business owners tackle day in and day out make them feel absolutely horrible!
The marketing strategies they were recommended to use by some expert or another are not respecting the actual human who has to show up and do the work of putting their business out there.
And, not surprisingly, the results from this sort of forced marketing are usually, well, lackluster at best.
But it’s not like you aren’t trying! You’ve taken more courses, trainings & workshops than you’d like to admit trying to find the “one strategy to rule them all”… yet you're likely feeling even more frustrated, overwhelmed and unimpressed by how few people you’re actually connecting with than before.
What you really need is a simple, sustainable marketing strategy that actually works for YOU.
One that takes into account the real human running your business (that’s YOU btw!), leans into your unique strengths and makes the work of putting your business out there feel a whole lot less like hard work!
Marketing strategies aren’t one size fits all
Having a music-obsessed toddler in our house has really given me an appreciation for the primal need to set our own tempo. Actually feeling the beat as we mess around on a xylophone or exploring high notes on his recorder - it's a far cry from the dry, ridged violin lessons of my youth - and I LOVE IT!
In fact, I may be discovered - in my mid-thirties - that I AM actually musical 😜
The passion, feeling and excitement for music were squished out of me by the well-meaning but oh-so-boring music teachers of my childhood who just wanted me to "perform" music their way.
But we don't all have to make music the same way. And we definitely don't all learn the same way, do we?
So why would your marketing be any different?
Perhaps the real reason you're still struggling to really get know and get found online is because you're playing someone else's marketing tune!
Even though you're trying your darnedest to market and sell your offers the way some industry expert told you to, it feels like a really hard slog putting things out there only to have almost no one see them.
It's frustrating.
It's demoralizing.
And it's not doing you or your business any favors.

Now, I don't presume for a second to know what will 100% definitely work for you. Only you can figure that out.
But what I do know, is what the inside of a LOT of marketing strategies look like.
And what it takes for them to work.
And what sorts of personalities and people tend to do best with them.
