Business Strategy & Content Marketing for Solopreneurs. Simplifying content marketing to get your business seen

Ok I have to know, which one are you?! 🤪

Drop your letter in the comments because I want to see how many overthinkers Vs untouchables we have in here! 👀

But I think all of us have been each one of these. Sometimes we can go through A, B, C and D in a DAY! 🙈

I know logically that a post that gets 47 views can outsell one that has thousands of views - I even have PROOF! But I can still feel disappointed when a post doesn’t land the way I hoped.

But I remind myself vanity metrics are not sales metrics!

I also know that when sales feel slow it’s easy to blame a lack of views, but while we all need visibility, that’s usually not the sales block. Usually the sales fix is WAY easier than trying to go viral!

Want my free quiz to pinpoint your exact sales and marketing gap?

My sales gap wasn’t content. It was me - being the product! 🫠

I had built a business (that I loved) and it was only when I HAD to step back due to grief that I realised my biz needed me in it to work.
And that was a problem. 🙈
So I stopped wasting my time on all the shiny objects (trending content, going viral, challenges) and I got serious about the biggest sales gap in my business - my offer suite.

In the last 8 months I have closed down my biggest program, launched two new offers and am getting ready to launch the 4th.

My offer suite works for me - when times are good OR bad and that feels so much better.

It’s so easy to blame content or the algorithm, but when you’re guessing what the sales gap is you end up wasting a loooot of time on the wrong thing.

She’d never run sales ads before 🤯

Then she booked a 1 month intensive with me to change that 🥳

4 days after our first call she woke up to 24 sales!!🤯🥳💛

Here’s how that happened 👇🏼

🪄 she’d done my €5 Simplified Ads Strategy course & saw how well this was growing her account and getting her in front of the right people. It worked SO well for her that she felt ready to take it to the next level 🥳

🪄but she didn’t want to do it alone. A sales campaign is more complex than a traffic ad and she wanted me in her corner while we built it.

So she booked the intensive.

🗓️Monday - was our first strategy call, where we mapped out the ad structure & plan.

🗓️Monday - Wednesday- we were back and forth in Slack. We picked the right offer, worked through the creatives and reviewed everything together before it went live.

😎I gave her a step by step demo to walk her through the set up in Meta too.

🗓️Wednesday 9.30pm - she published the campaign 🥳

🗓️Thursday morning- 24 sales!!!🥳🥳🥳

She was making sales on day FOUR of the intensive 💛

And I’m sooo happy for her & happy that I get to be a part of this journey with her 🥹

This is proof of the power of ads - when you have the right strategy & support to run them.

This is the kind of work we do together in my intensives.

Whether it’s ads, your offers, your content strategy or your sales funnel - we find the gap and we fix it together in real time 💛

Does that sound like the kind of support you need right now?

Is my maths right?!🤯

88 days to 2027 and we all know how easy it is to waste time on here 👀

So many distractions and things demanding our attention CONSTANTLY.

But when you’re self employed and have to do everything yourself - you don’t have time (or energy) to waste.

So I’ve put together 5 things you can cross off your list right now.

Aaannnd if you want to know the exact parts of your biz that do need your attention, I have a free quiz for you!

If you’ve been falling out of love with Instagram - you’re not alone.

And I am not here to tell you you have to LOVE the platform.

My job is much simpler than that.

It’s to look at your entire business and find the gaps in your marketing and sales strategy.

That could be your posting strategy on Instagram.
Or it could be your sales funnel outside of Instagram.

Whatever it is, we find it and we close it together during my one month intensive.

Please talk about your offers more 🙏🏻

If the big brands can show us ads on the daily then you can talk about the incredible work you do every day too!

It’s not spammy. You solve a problem someone has and they need to hear about it.

Here are some tips/ways that you can repeatedly talk about your offers👇🏼👇🏼

🪄Use storytelling (how you created your offer, how your offer had helped others, what values are behind it and where they came from)

🪄Use the 4 buyer journey content types (problem awareness, solution awareness, agitation & personal brand).

🪄use real questions/topics that have come up with clients already

I want you to challenge yourself to speak about your offer in some way every day next week.

Do you accept the challenge?!💛

I bet your offers could be doing some selling for you 👀

Something pretty special happens when someone buys from you.

The immediate happy dance - of course 💃
But then they get their eyes on your offer 🤓
They use it. It helps them 🥳
Suddenly their problem is GONE - thanks to YOU (another happy dance!) 💃💃

But you know what usually happens to most humans after that?

They realise they have another problem! 🫠
The one they couldn’t see before you solved the FIRST problem with your initial offer.

Now - they already trust you 💛
They already know that what you do works for them.

And I’m pretty sure you have an offer that’s perfect for their next step 🤔

But do they know it exists?

The BEST time to tell someone about an offer you know they need - is when they have just bought from you/had a positive experience from you.

So tell me - are you sending out helpful emails to the people that buy from you, telling them about the next problem you can help them with?

Because if you aren’t, I want you to prioritise getting that set up.

You’ve already done the hard work - created the offer, made that sale happen, created trust out of nothing and actually SOLVED the problem.

The next step is building out the next logical steps for your ideal clients to invite them into the offers you know they now need.

If this is something you’d like my help with, that’s what my one month 1-1 intensive is for.

We will map it all out, emails, upsells, you name it. And we will set it up and get it working so when you make one sale - that’s just the beginning.
