Why Does the Word MARKETING Seem Overwhelming?

Shiny Object Syndrome

You need to be on Facebook. You need to be on Twitter. You need to be on LinkedIn. You need to be on Instagram. You need to be doing email marketing. You need a CRM. You need Salesforce. You need Slack.  You need landing pages. You need funnels. You need photos. You need videos.

You need to be doing this... You need to be on that... 

No wonder marketing is overwhelming. Where do you even begin?!

​But before we can discuss marketing adjustments, it's important to recognize some of the things (that no else has pointed out to you) about what you may say, do, or feel.

So Where To Begin?

 If you said yes to any of the above questions, you aren't alone. Too many brands are told to start marketing before their foundations are in place. And while we understand marketing is a journey and it's better to start than wait for the perfect opportunity (that will never come), it's also important to understand that the longer you go without your foundations in place, the more you could lose not connecting with the right people:
​TIME, MONEY, OUTER WELL BEING, CONTROL, SANITY, and more.

But by taking a different approach, marketing doesn't have to be overwhelming or scary. 

Take a deep breath, open your mind to new possibilities, and imagine we are taking this one step-at-a-time.

The key to more impactful marketing is to begin closer to the beginning of the marketing cycle. Not any further along.
Profound, isn't it?!

If you're publishing posts or emails and not getting the right type of engagement, a few things are probably off:

1) You aren't reaching the right people
2) You aren't sending a targeted message
3) You're posting where your market isn't seeing your posts
4) A combination of the 3.
