Do you feel like you just need a solid content marketing plan and you'll be good to go? Do you struggle to plan and knowing where to start?

"It'll all be great, you just need a plan," they say...

But how on earth are you actually supposed to make a content and marketing plan that you can execute and follow through on? Where do you start? What should you include? How specific and granular do you get? 

In this episode, I'm going to give you some ideas for planning content and marketing that you can apply for yourself. My hope is that it inspires you to plan for 2025 to be your best, most consistent, abundant year yet!

In this episode: 

  • Reflecting on your year to move forward more intentionally 
  • Conducting a marketing and commitments audit 
  • Planning 3 months at a time for content marketing success
  • Alternative ways to apply your plan 
  • How to use AI to map out your marketing blueprint
  • And more!

My quarterly visibility goals are:

1. Goal one 

2. Goal two
