The Content Podcast - Content Marketing, marketing and business!
Hey everyone, I'm Mariah the founder of Content Queen - a content agency and coaching business for entrepreneurs and online businesses!
My purpose is to inform and educate so I started this podcast to help more people on all things content creation, marketing and business to help you build a more profitable brand using content marketing as a strategy!
Join me as I share top tips, my struggles and my triumphs to help inspire or just entertain! Remember, content is king - that's why I love being the Content Queen!
When we think about Public Relations, we might often think of media, right? Getting in the paper, on TV, and the like! BUT PR is more than just media. It is about getting visibility for you and your business on various online (and offline) channels.
Read MorePutting together a marketing strategy as a small business owner can feel overwhelming and a little confusing. You have marketing jargon coming out all over the place and a lot of it you don't need right now.
Read MoreContent isn't just about putting words together or a video and posting it online. It allows us to be seen. To be heard and to share our passions with the world.
It allows space for conversation. To build connection and community. When you create on a topic you love and are passionate about, so many opportunities can open up. That is what Julianna and I have in common. We create online and have built so many connections and communities from this space. We are here to share with you how we do this. How we never run out of ideas and how we juggle multiple channels.
Read MoreDo you ever get to 5pm each day and think "shit I need to post on social media".
As a business owner, you become all the things. Social media manager is one of them. Don't forget coming up with the idea, that can be tricky too! But don't worry, I have been there. That is why I created my 4 pillars of content marketing. To help you know what to create! Once the ideas flow, you schedule the content and you will NEVER have to stress about 5pm each day!
Read MoreYou know what they say...
We all have a book in us! We all have knowledge to share and a story to tell. Within your business, there is MANY concepts you teach. Why not think about how they can be turned into a book? Just like a blog, podcast or video series, a book is a way to connect with your audience in more "long-form" ways.
Read MoreYou started your business to serve a purpose. To help people. Now you find yourself scrolling Instagram Reels and TikTok looking for content ideas! Guess what? You are a content creator now. But don't worry!
We are here to help you. To show you how to create content for your business! With ease. With confidence! So you can embrace your inner content creator and create MAGIC for your business (and your ideal audience).
Read MoreYou only have to scroll Instagram to find 1000 pieces of advice on content marketing.
A lot of it can be misleading and confusing. Maybe even overwhelming!
We are here to tell you, it is a long game. There is no quick fixes or hacks to get you overnight success. But content marketing is important. It is how you are seen and how you build trust and connection with your audience!
Read MoreBusiness owners turned content creators... it can be tricky. We look at what others are doing. We try to create ideas on social media, in our blogs, and on our podcasts that are unique but not too foreign. We don't have to complicate things, right?
Read MoreBro-Marketing. When I first heard this, I thought it meant "boys club". I wasn't completely wrong. Bro-Marketing is a group of marketing tactics that we have all been taught to use to help "grow" our business. However, some can be seen as misleading and unethical.
Read MoreHave you ever had a week where you couldn't think of anything WORSE than showing your face on social media?
It happens. You are not alone. Instead of forcing it, let's work through things you CAN do instead. How you can set up your business to not just rely on using social media content to make it work.
Read MoreHere is a brilliant idea... START on a long-form content channel like blogging!
Not only does it help you be seen online, it allows you to create repurposed content on other channels, gives you access to a community of other creators and allows you creative control!
Read MoreBefore I started Content Queen I started a blog. It was 2014 and I loved to travel. I loved to write. So I combined them together. Travel blogging (nothing new, but SO new to me).
This blog became the starting point of my content creation journey. This is all I want to share with you in this week's podcast episode. I also want to share how you can create your own blog strategy or create content on a long-form content channel with some simple to follow steps.
Read MoreStorytelling and marketing are what I have spoken about A LOT in the last 23 weeks of the year. NOW we are up to the next level. Storytelling and selling! Using storytelling to sell within our business.
Read MoreI am a bit of a storytelling nerd. I love to analyse how people share stories in their business and how they use stories to build connection and sell to their audience.
Read MoreDo you have evergreen channels you want to scale? Podcast, blog, video content, or even a lead magnet? Pinterest isn't just a social media platform it is a platform here to help you reach more people.
Read MoreSocial media is a great platform to market your business. However, it is not the only channel. There is more to content marketing than just social media. Think blogs, podcasts, video content, and email marketing. This doesn't mean more work. It means working smarter, not harder to ensure you get visibility for your business in more ways than just social media.
Read MoreHave you ever thought about how a podcast based on the stories you tell could be a HUGE benefit to your business?
Well, Dusty (our guest) is PROOF that a storytelling based podcast can create HUGE success and connection. So he joins us today to share his own journey (and the journey of his clients), on how they have created podcasts all around telling power stories.
Read MoreDo you have a content strategy? Maybe you have a loose one. Maybe you don't know what it means.
Read MoreI want to open up this conversation. To talk MORE about the relationship between freelancer and entrepreneur. We are a team! We work together. So let's create this community.
Read MoreYour about page isn't about you? Say, WHAT?! But it is called "about" page. When it comes to websites, crafting the perfect about page can be a challenge, but is a CRITICAL page within the site.
