Market This: The Marketing Podcast for Small Business Owners
S2 #4: What Marketing Actually Is (and What It’s Not)
So… what is marketing, really?
It’s become such a buzzword that it’s almost lost all meaning, especially if you’re a small business owner just trying to get your name out there without losing your mind.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what marketing actually means and not in guru-speak or corporate lingo, but in real, human terms. I’m sharing what I learned back in my ad agency days, and how that world translates to what you do as a small business owner wearing all the hats.
We’ll talk about:
- Why social media is just one tiny piece of your marketing puzzle
- What marketing really boils down to (hint: it’s simply how you advertise what you do)
- Why your website, emails, and even conversations are part of your marketing
- How to figure out where your clients are actually coming from and go all in there
- Why you want a copy-led marketing expert
If you’ve ever felt like marketing your business is a full-time job you didn’t sign up for, this episode is going to take a huge weight off your shoulders.
