Marketing 101 - BIG steps for small businesses

About Marketing 101 - BIG steps for small businesses

Let's think of Marketing like learning to play an instrument - mastering the piano is great, but beginners can attract an audience too. Each week Marketing 101 will break down the barriers of a particular marketing activity and give you simple, practical advice and ideas to put into action today. Small business owners and the self employed can’t always be marketers too, you’ve got your customers and your product to focus on. But, if you have a website or social media presence for your business then you DO need to adhere to best-practice for the platforms that you use and you should make use of the tools they provide. The Marketing 101 podcast will tackle and remove 'the overwhelm' of one topic per week (topics like Search Engine Optimisation, Content Marketing and Social Media Marketing) and give you clear, actionable steps to take within your own business without having to hire in a consultant or a web developer.Support the podcast via Patreon with a small donation of £5 per month; https://www.patreon.com/marketing_101
