As a bonus, here are 3 marketing strategies to get you started right away:

1. Be realistic about time. You may be able to blog weekly, or send an email once a month, or update IG daily. Whatever frequency you determine, make sure you set yourself up for success with an achievable schedule (and give yourself grace if you don’t always hit it!).
2. Analyze your data. Look at analytics such as impressions and engagement, and figure out which posts are a hit and which ones are a miss. Some posts will be informational while others are eye candy. Strike a happy balance between the two.
3. Set themes. Create categories of posts such as a passion project (clean beauty, sustainability, community), testimonials, product (or service) shots, quotes, YOU, and bts. Once you have a batch of posts in each category, you are free to add variety to your feed.
