Lost in the Content Creation Chaos? Your Simple Guide to Content Strategy Success.
Don’t start from 10th step to marketing success,, start from the 1st.
Back in 2010, juggling morning sickness and endless doctor's appointments, I knew I had to write. It was in my blood.
So, I started a little blog: Mum’s World, while on my third maternity leave.
The problem? Nobody read it.
My words echoed into a void.
I quickly realised that building an audience and marketing your work online isn't easy. In Serbia, 14 years ago, online marketing resources were practically non-existent. I had to figure it out myself, trial and error, copying others and making countless mistakes.
I learned the hard way - no one will read your writing online if you don't know how to:
Build an audience and
Market your product (in my case, a parenting blog).
So I started learning about creating content, creating ads, sending cold emails, writing newsletters, and creating on socials, mostly by copying other creators, rare online resources, and my mistakes.
I didn't have any strategy
No business plan.
I had no confidence that the community I was building could be a product.
So I tried to find teachers.
Mentors.
Resources (as cheap as possible - (hey, I have lived in a very poor country).
I found some gurus.
Paid for their books and courses.
They successfully led me to confusion, fear and overwhelm.
But I didn't give up.
I found my way to build a community and monetised my blog - it became one of the leading in the parenting niche - allowing me to work with more than 20 popular brands in Serbia, get sponsorships, numerous marketing clients, and writing gigs.
I left journalism and landed a few jobs in marketing.
Then, I decided to ditch everything and go to Australia to pursue a Master's degree in Marketing.
Why?
I needed to build a foundation for my marketing building.
So, when I started writing online in the Australian market in 2022, I started from scratch again.
This time, I knew all my past mistakes.
My big idea:
I want to help my past self avoid wasting time and money.
I want to help solopreneurs and people who are just starting and are completely overwhelmed to establish simple, easy-to-manage marketing.
I want to be their accountability buddy, as I know how easy is to procrastinate when you are afraid and overwhelmed.
I know that new business founders and solopreneurs don't need to learn step number 10 - they need steps 1 and 2.
They need clear guidance to start, not overcomplicated, high-level approach. They need to understand marketing before they outsource any part of it.
After years of trial and error, I've distilled my learnings into a simple, actionable blueprint to help you:
Clarify your goals: Know where you're headed.
