Something I don't see talked about enough in the business space...

We spend so much time making sure our marketing is working for our audience that we forget to ask whether it's still working for us. And when it stops feeling aligned, it stops feeling like anything at all.

That's when the passion starts to fade. And believe it or not, your followers can feel it in every piece of content you put out.

I dive into this topic a bit deeper in my latest blog post at https://www.knmvirtual.com/post/passion-vs-performance

If you've felt like you've lost the passion in your content and need help finding your way back, let's chat.

Zeke may or may not have inspired my next newsletter topic, because I'm talking about SHEDDING...😅

I'm talking about shedding bad marketing habits, outdated beliefs, and practices that make running your business harder than it needs to be. Tomorrow's issue of Real Marketing with KNM will dive into:

📝 Whether blogs are still worth your time in the age of AI
📝How to market your business when budget isn't on your side
📝 How to know which side of marketing is best for your business, and
📝 Content dos and don'ts if you actually want to attract (and keep) your audience.

Not all marketing is created equal.

If you hired someone to handle your "marketing" and haven't been getting the results you expected, it may be worth asking if the marketing you chose wasn't the right fit for your business and needs.

The most common mistake business owners make is thinking they only need one thing (ahem...social media) or that they need ALL the things. Usually, neither is the case. Marketing is made up of many moving parts, and each one serves a different purpose depending on where your business is and where you're trying to go.

Knowing which part you actually need? That's where the real results start.

If you're not sure which direction to go or even where to begin, let's chat. Drop a comment below or book a complimentary call here: https://www.knmvirtual.com/work-with-me

Lately, I've been seeing the same question pop up in entrepreneur spaces on social media: Are blogs still worth it?

And with AI seeming to take over everything, it's no wonder this question is coming up now more than ever. My take? They're still alive and well. But how they work, how they get found, and what makes them effective have changed

Learn why blogging is still one of the best tools you have for building authority and trust, what AI actually has to do with it (hint: it's not what most people think), and what needs to change if you want your blog to actually get found.

If you've been asking yourself whether blogs are still worth investing time into for your business, trust me, you're not the only one. It's one of the questions constantly popping up in entrepreneur spaces, Facebook groups, and marketing forums. With AI-generated content seemingly taking over the in...

Summer is coming, and so is the urge to finally step away and enjoy it. But for many business owners, taking a break means one thing: their content falls off.

That's exactly why I put together the Summer Vacay Social Package. It's a limited-time, budget-friendly offer designed to keep your brand showing up consistently online all summer long while you actually live your life.

Spoiler alert: they aren't dead yet.

AI has certainly changed the game for bloggers...but they're definitely still relevant, especially for business owners.

In this video, I dive into why blogging is still one of the best tools you have for building your business, even in the age of AI. If you've been thinking about starting a blog and have no idea whether it's a good idea or how it will help, this one's worth a watch.

Relaunching a newsletter to an audience that was built around a completely different season of your business is a strange feeling.

A lot of my original newsletter community came from content around single motherhood, moving abroad, rebuilding life from scratch, and figuring things out in real time while growing a business alongside it all. Those experiences are still a huge part of who I am and how I approach my work today.

But over time, my business evolved increasingly toward marketing strategy, content creation, visibility, and helping other business owners navigate the pressure of showing up online.

So when I hit send on the first revamped issue yesterday afternoon and watched the unsubscribes come in, I had to remind myself of something:

A smaller, aligned audience will always be more valuable than a larger one that no longer aligns with where your business is headed.

The people who stayed, or who find their way here in the future, are the ones who genuinely want the conversations I’m having now. And that matters more than numbers ever will.

If you’re a woman entrepreneur, mompreneur, or small business owner who wants real, no BS marketing conversations in your inbox once or twice a month, this newsletter was built for you.

The first issue is officially out now. You can check it out and subscribe here: https://mailchi.mp/6383571bff94/welcome-to-real-marketing-with-knm

Zeke has been waiting two years for this moment…😅

I’m officially bringing my newsletter back...with a bit of a reset.

If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’ve covered a lot over the years. These days, my focus is pretty clear: helping women business owners make sense of their marketing in a way that actually feels like them.

That’s exactly what this will be.

No "filler" noise, no overcomplicated strategies. Just honest, useful content around marketing, content, and how to show up consistently without it taking over your life.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, you can join the fun at http://eepurl.com/gZUrV9. I’d love to have you there!

Lets talk about it. 👀

Is it really necessary to have a business blog if you have a newsletter...or vice versa?

Most people treat them as completely separate things, which is part of why content starts to feel like so much work.

There’s a reason they exist, and it’s not for the same purpose.

I talk through the differences in the video and what each one is really doing behind the scenes, so you can decide whether one or both make sense for your business.
