Hiya,

how consistent are you with your marketing? Not always?

In today’s edition, I share an easy way to be more consistent in your marketing without burning yourself out.

Let’s get into it!

To become a successful solopreneur, you need a marketing plan or strategy. I go into depth about why and how here and teach you in my marketing plan guide.

Success as a solopreneur also requires consistency in marketing. This is where most people struggle - myself included.

It can be confusing to know what to do and when.

When You Struggle With Consistency

Does this ever happen to you?

This creates a doom cycle, where you resent marketing and yourself for what feels like failing at it. The more you resent it, the harder it gets to do, and the less you’ve got to show for yourself. Voilá, you’re stewing in frustration and shame!

Be More Consistent - Without Forcing Yourself

1) Decide what’s a healthy measure of good enough

It’s challenging to always hit your target at 100%. Then, what’s a realistic goal? Can you set a corridor for a goal?

An example:

You decide you send a newsletter twice a week. You can send it 8 times a month. Is it okay for yourself to miss it once? Is there a way you can make the sends easier for yourself? Can some be shorter and some longer?

2) Set daily, weekly, and monthly marketing actions

When you work for yourself, you’re technically never done. You need to define what done means for yourself. If you don’t, you work 24/7.

This is where daily, weekly, and monthly marketing actions are helpful.

An example:

You set these for yourself based on your goals and marketing plan. You can evaluate them and tweak their frequency.

Doing it like this helps you in three ways:

You’re giving yourself a supportive framework that’s also realistic enough to go through with over a longer period of time.

That’s it from me today. I need to go and send my three outreach emails now. It’s Tuesday, after all ;).
