Can Content Creation be Enjoyable (and even… FUN)?!

7/2/2024
Text Emily! Leave a Voicemail! Do you find the process of marketing and creating content to be exhausting and frustrating? You're not alone! In this episode, we answer a listener question as we talk about approaching our marketing and content creation in a way that inspires a little more FUN and enjoyment! I personally am the weirdo that LIKES creating content. I see marketing as an adventure and love connecting and sharing with others. I'm actually having a great ol' time over here doing so! BUT, it's also my job and I fully realize that it's not why most people started their businesses (or expected to be doing so much of). I also get that it's not all sunshine and rainbows. In this episode, we address the good, the bad, and the unfun of content creation, marketing, and visibility in hopes that you'll be inspired to focus on what brings you joy, and consider letting go of the rest!

Making the Most of a Summer Slowdown

6/25/2024
Text Emily! Leave a Voicemail! Summer tends to be a high-energy, out-in-the-world, on-the-go season. We often feel spread thin, running in a million different directions, and racing to and fro. [Insert overly busy cliche of choice here] Summer slowdowns can occur in our businesses due to the natural seasonality of our work or be self-imposed.

The Pants Story: How to stop people-pleasing in your marketing

6/18/2024
Text Emily! Send Me a Voicemail! Today's episode starts with a short story about a pair of (expensive) pants I didn't even really want in the first place... People-pleasing has no place in our lives and it can get in the way of sharing authentically and honestly in our businesses too!

How to Un-Despair When You Start to Compare: Turning down the noise of comparison

6/4/2024
Text Emily! Leave a Voicemail! Comparing ourselves to others can be exhausting and discouraging. People may give you advice to just unfollow, unsubscribe, stop the thoughts in their tracks, think "positive", or focus on all the things that make YOU great... But it's not always that easy to turn the beat around! And sometimes glossing over the experience can cause it to keep popping up again and again and again, rather than teach us to work through it and move to a more productive place. In this episode, I get into how we can move through comparison in a way that allows us to acknowledge and feel it, take action if needed, and bless and release. I don’t want you to compare yourself. I certainly don't want you to swim in the pool of comparison, and I'm going to help you find out you what it's good for!

What is Character? And does it really require "hard work" to build it?

5/21/2024
Text Emily! Leave me a Voice Mail In this episode, we get into what CHARACTER means. Why is it the name of this show? What is it even? And do you just naturally have it or do you have to build it? Does it really take "hard work" to get? How do you infuse YOUR content with YOUR character!?

Repurposing Video Content, Audio, Webinars, Workshops, and more!

5/14/2024
Text Emily! Repurposing is for you as a content creator. It saves you time and helps you stop spinning your wheels as you take any one single piece of content and turn it into MORE! AND in addition to being hugely beneficial to you (and your sanity), it also helps increase your impact and reach others who may not be able to access your original format of content. Especially when it comes to audio, webinars, workshops, courses, and video content, repurposing can make it more accessible for others while spreading your message further and wider.

Repetition vs. Cohesion: Why I want you repeating yourself MORE!

5/7/2024
Text Emily! "Oh, I already posted that." "Ya, ya, ya, I already said that!" "People already know who I am and what I do…" "People know what I offer and how I work, I already said it." "I just said it in last week’s email." "I can't offer that AGAIN, I don’t want to be annoying!" "How many times do I have to repeat myself!?" If you’ve ever said, or even thought any of those sentences (and yes, my hand is raised too), this episode is for you! We’re going to get into the art of repeating yourself, why it’s important, and show you just how powerful it is when you consider it as COHESION instead. In this episode: You're not annoying if you're repeating yourself and I hope THIS episode encourages you to do it even more! Reminders: 1. People probably didn't see it the first time, they don't follow you in all the places and read all your posts or listen to all your podcasts. 2. There's so much power going deeper vs. wider on any given topic 3. Sometimes now isn't the time, but tomorrow is 4. Repetition helps YOU improve your skills, craft, and refine your messaging 5.

Four Stories to Share in Your Content: Authentic stories to tell about your business

Text Emily! Are you one of those people who can turn a simple question of how you slept last night into a full-blown story? Or perhaps you wish you possessed the storytelling skill, but you could use a little nudge and some inspiration. You need a little help seeking out stories to share in your business. No matter which camp you fall into, or if you’re hanging out somewhere in between, this episode is for you! We’re going to keep the storytelling vibes going from last week's episode as we focus on four types of stories to tell in our businesses, why stories matter so much, and how to get started! Stories are everywhere, and unfolding in nearly every moment, we just have to have our ears and eyes attuned to seeing them. In this episode, we get into four stories to share in your content: Resources and Links Mentioned: 👉🏻 EXTENDED SHOW NOTES (blog format) Fluke book by Brian Klaas Stories that Stick book by Kindra Hall “Our brains are so attuned to narrative that we will connect the dots into a story even when the dots aren’t connected. This is called narrative bias. When we’re given a snippet of incomplete information, the pattern-processing networks within our skulls fill in the gaps." - Brian Klaas, author of Fluke "The storytelling mind is allergic to uncertainty, randomness, and coincidence, it’s addicted to meaning.” - Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal “Storytelling is not just a nice addition to your marketing strategy; it is the heart, soul, and the very essence of it.” - Kindra Hall, author of Stories that Stick Christina Granahan's Instagram post example (the hairdresser story) Listeners to Leads Podcast Episode with Alesia Galati and Karen Kenney Connect with Me!

No One Likes a Copycat!

Text Emily! It's happened to me, to friends, to collaborators, and to my clients... And while "imitation" is supposedly the "sincerest form of flattery" (Oscar Wilde), NO ONE LIKES A COPYCAT! In this episode, we get into a recent (minor) horror story of my own, talk about why it's so important not to copy and paste, a few ideas on how to avoid being a copycat, and how to decrease the chances of being copied.
