One of the main questions I get asked from creative entrepreneurs is where they should invest their budget. Should they opt for copywriting, invest in coaching or choose a DIY course?

One of the things that puts my clients off marketing their business is the overwhelm of what to do, where to even begin and the sheer lack of time. Most entrepreneurs and small business owners are juggling running their businesses, modern family life and trying to manage the marketing, finances and day-to-day operations all simultaneously. […]

I spend a lot of time speaking to people about their email marketing and quite often, they haven’t got a strategy, haven’t sent a mailout, don’t know their statistics and haven’t been nurturing their email list so quite frankly, it’s a recipe for e-saster.

I put this out on my Instagram stories and over 90% of people voted they would be interested in this so although, it’s a little bit off topic for content marketing, the moon is very much at the heart of what I do. I run my business around the lunar cycles and even time my […]

The other day I received an email and the subject line was “here is the info you asked me for”. It was a sales email about something I had never actually asked for so today I decided to put together a little blog post about this “technique” of using a line that makes it look […]

Christmas and the New Year is a time of quiet (well, unless you have 2 kids under 5 like I do) and mindfulness. It’s a time of pressing pause and stepping away from the workload that is universally appreciated. Essentially, it’s the time we can be pretty sure that clients and customers will respect our […]

Why Journaling is So Incredible During the Festive Period

The reason you don’t know what to write is most likely because you aren’t sure of what you want to say. So many businesses aren’t clear on their core messages – the things that are important for your audience to understand from the outset or what sets you apart. That’s why all of my courses […]
