Let’s have a good old-fashioned heart-to-heart about that sneaky little critter called time. It’s the sand slipping through your fingers. The sweet nectar of life.
And for you, the entrepreneur… it can feel like you’re trying to catch a greased pig.
Soooooie!! Here Pig Pig!!
You see, when it comes to marketing your business, knowing how to juggle your time is half the battle – and the other half? Well, that’s making the most of that time.
15 Minutes
Of Glory
Now, if you only have 15 minutes in a day, it’s like trying to fill a lake with a leaky bucket. But listen here: you can still make waves. Use that quarter of an hour to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Focus on one specific task – perhaps shoot out a quick email to your loyal customers or a FAST engagement post on social media.
You’re not aiming for the stars; you’re simply keeping the lights on. Think of it as kindling a fire, just enough to keep those embers warm while you stock up for a brighter, bigger blaze later.
Half An Hour
To Dominate
Push it up to 30 minutes, and my friend, the world opens a tad wider. You can dabble in a little content creation, like whipping up a punchy post for social media or crafting a quick blog entry.
The key here is to put your best foot forward without running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Maybe spend 15 minutes researching what’s trending in your industry and then the other 15 putting pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard, if you will – so you’re not just shouting into the void.
Remember, the goal is engagement, not just noise.
60 Golden Minutes
Now, if you’re blessed with a full hour, oh boy, you’ve got some juicy meat to chew on (sorry pork chop!). Here’s where you can really spread your wings (buffalo or ranch).
Use a chunk of that time to analyze your past marketing efforts. What’s working? What’s got the legs of a road runner in heat? Dive into those stats, and let them guide your next move. If you’ve got a runner, keep flogging that topic until the audience screams “enough!”
Pour Some Gas
On The Fire
You might also want to sprinkle in some paid media HOT sauce. A little advertising can go a long way if done right – but it’s a double-edged sword. You spend a dime, and sometimes you’re reeling in a FAT fish for dinner; other times, it’s just a hook with no bait.
Speaking of spending money, let’s chat about…
The Difference Between
Paid Media
And
Earned Media
Paid media is like throwing a lit match into a pile of dry elephant grass – you’re gonna see a reaction, but it’ll cost you (and it might flame out – or set the whole field on fire).
Earned media is like the friendly neighbor who starts talking to everyone they meet about your outstanding garden you didn’t even ask them to notice. They’re spreading the word, and it doesn’t cost you a dime.
Social VS Blog.
Which Is Better?
Now, let’s crack one more cold one and have a gander at social media versus your blog or website.
Social media is the noisy bar down the street – the kind where everyone’s talking but nobody’s listening.
Your blog, on the other hand, is more like a cozy coffee shop, a place where people come for a good conversation, a quiet place to learn, and maybe pick up a good book on the way out.
The magic happens when you use both, speaking to different crowds. Just don’t forget – what works for one may not work for the other.
A 30-Minute
Marketing Calendar
Now, let’s peg a week-long marketing calendar together if you’ve got 30 minutes a day. Here’s a little slice of how you might divvy it up:
Monday: Start your week steady by publishing a blog post. Something useful, that’ll resonate with your folks. Reminder: Be the solution… NOT the problem!
Tuesday: Promote that blog on social media, engage with people who comment; if you’re like a friendly neighbor with cold beer to share , everyone will invite you in.
Wednesday: Spend some time researching trends in your industry. Maybe even shoot out an email newsletter with curated content you found useful – be the go-to gal or guy who drops value bombs.
Thursday: Dip into paid ads for a hot product or service. Do a test to see if you can do a little speed dating with your audience.
Friday: Reflect on the week! Analyze what got folks buzzing and what fell flat. Adjust your sails for the weekend.
Holy Crap!
You Want
Weekend Work?
Saturday: Take the time to interact on social media – respond to comments and dive into conversations. If there’s a community out there, be a part of it.
Sunday: Plan for the next week. Lay out your blog topics and social media strategies like a roadmap.
Wash – Rinse – Repeat
So, there you have it, folks – a neat little cheat sheet to whip up a marketing calendar without feeling like you’re trudging through molasses.
Time is your ally; treat it well, let it guide you, and you’ll soon find yourself with a business that doesn’t just survive but thrives.
Take charge of your minutes and make them count up like Christmas and birthday money from grandma in your piggy bank!
