Long-form content is alive and kicking here.
So pop the kettle on and letβs dive in.
Why Your Marketing Needs To Be Messy
The danger of chasing clarity is that you end up with marketing thatβs easy to understand but impossible to feel. People donβt buy from the clearest message, the buy from the most resonant one.
The Problem With The βSexy Sellβ
Our job as marketers, as conscious business owners, isnβt just to give people what they think they want. Itβs to create awareness around why they want it, and what they might actually need instead.
Because yes, people buy the sexy sell.
But what they stay for, and rave about, is integrity, depth, and transformation that feels real.
Why You Need To Be Misunderstood In Your Marketing
As a marketer with a background in psychology, Iβve always taught that your audience needs to understand what you do. Thatβs still true. Your messaging should help people see themselves in your work.
But hereβs the nuance Iβve come to understand:
Sometimes people donβt understand because theyβre not supposed to.
Your marketing isnβt meant for everyone. Itβs meant for the people who are ready to receive it.
How Boundaries Can Boost Your Bookings
Hereβs the thing about boundaries: they donβt just protect you they empower your clients, too. When youβre clear about what you offer, who you serve, and what you need from them, it creates a better experience for everyone involved. Misaligned clients can leave you feeling drained and doubting yourself. Aligned clients? They energise you and remind you why you love what you do in the first place.
Why Interest In Your Service Isn't Turning Into Sales β And How to Turn That Around
When we market our services, most of the time weβre speaking to the rational mind β offering details like features, price, and benefits. But thatβs only scratching the surface. What really moves the needle is appealing to the emotions and beliefs driving decisions on a subconscious level.
How To Write Emails People Can't Wait to Open
Are your emails getting lost in crowded inboxes, leaving you wondering if your efforts are worth it? If so, this blog post is for you. Email marketing is one of my favourite and most effective forms of marketing. I regularly have people tell me how helpful they find them, how much they enjoy reading them and most importantly... that they can't wait to open them. Plus, they regularly sell my service too, which means more time automated and less "on" in business -which is a huge win!
Why Pinterest is The Secret To Slow Success
Pinterest is marketing gold. It's a much slower form of creation where the pace of scrolling mirrors my conscious marketing mission. Second, it's far more passive... meaning that I don't have to be "on" as much and can be far more present. Third, my clients tend to hang out here, craving respite from the dopamine highs and jarring pieces. So, it's slower, it means I can switch off more and my marketing can be more effective... what's not to love!?
How a Sales Page Put Me Off Spending Β£1k I Was Ready to Invest
You will hear me say very often that your marketing is a mirror. How people feel when receiving your marketing sets the precedent for how you want them to feel during your offering. Read that again. If your marketing places me in a headspace rooted in lack, brokenness or unsafety, you bet thatβs what Iβm going to associate your offering with. And, if that is what leads me to invest in you, then the chances are that nothing you offer will be never good enough for me because Iβve entered in with a βnot enoughβ energy.
How to Remove Shame From Your Marketing
If you are looking to practice conscious marketing, then shame has to be eliminated from your messaging. It's actually become so incredibly normal to see lack-based language within marketing, to the point that you, or potential customers may not even notice its presence. Don't fear though, this blog is going to walk you through a process to make sure your marketing is rooted in empowerment and as a result, is a true energetic match to your service.
Is Long Form Content Dead?
The whispers of "is long form content dead?" have been circling for some time now with short video dominating the social media space. With the rise of TikTok and huge push of Instagram reels, it's hardly a secret that dopamine addiction is sky high and attention spans are probably at an all time low. Which might have led to you wondering if there's any point creating anything other than a quick piece of content. If that's the case, then get comfy and dive in...
