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!
The age old question... should you actually be running Meta ads in your business? And if you are… how do you know if they’re actually working?
In this episode, I’m joined by ad strategist Neil Shoney to unpack what business owners really need to know about Facebook and Instagram ads... without the fluff, overwhelm, or “just boost a post” energy.
Read MoreSo… we know AI is here. We know we should be using it.
But are you starting to feel like everything online is sounding the same?
In this episode, I’m not giving you another “how to use AI” tutorial… I’m flipping the lens.
Because the real question isn’t how do we use AI more? It’s how do we stay human while using it?
Read MoreDo you actually have the foundations in place to sustain your business… or are you just building as you go?
Because here’s the thing — a lot of business owners wear many hats… but skip the pieces that actually make a business work long-term.
Read MoreSo… do you actually question your AI? Or are you just copying, pasting, and hoping for the best?
Because I saw something unfold last year that made me go… yikes.
Read Morever feel like you know what to do with your marketing… but you’re just not doing it? Same.
This episode, I’ve got Sam Sundius on the Content Queen Podcast to unpack what’s actually going on… and spoiler alert, it’s not your strategy.
We’re talking about the unconscious mind, nervous system, and why hitting “post” can feel like actual danger (even though it’s just… Instagram).
Read MoreIt’s easy to think that if you just post more or run ads, your business will grow… but real marketing doesn’t work like that.
The magic is in the foundations - understanding your audience, creating content that connects, and building trust over time.
Read More“How do I know if it’s my marketing… or me?”
Something I see ALL the time as a content marketer and business owner.
We’re so quick to jump to:“I need a better strategy”“I need to post more”“I need to fix my marketing”
But what if… it’s not that?
What if the real shift comes from recalibrating you first?
In this episode, I’m joined by the amazing Lucy Shrimpton to dive into what it actually means to recalibrate yourself so your marketing can truly land.
Read MoreAsk someone close to you "what do I do, tell me in a sentence or two"?
Can they?
If not, maybe it is because you don't spend enough time repeating and explaining what it is you do.
I will never forget a mentor said to me "you have to love what you do because you will be talking about it over and over and over again".
Read More“How do I get seen in an online space that is crowded”?
One of the main questions I get as a content marketer and social media manager.
How about we take a second to think outside the box and confirm how we might position ourselves over just being visible online.
I have an amazing guest on this episode to take us through the difference between simply being visible online and intentionally positioning yourself as an authority.
Read MoreDo you say this to yourself a lot?
Social media doesn't work...
Content marketing doesn't work...
But then you will jump on a trend hoping it will work?
You aren't alone. We all have done it.
The missing link to anything you do in your marketing is ONE key thing - and I am going to chat to you about it!
Read MoreWhat if the real reason you’re not showing up online isn’t strategy… but fear of judgment?
In this episode, I’m joined by mindset coach and business strategist Ivana Ivanek to unpack the real reason so many brilliant, mission-driven women hold back from visibility.
Read MoreIf you’ve been looking at content and thinking the posts that perform best are the dramatic ones… the big emotions, the big reveals, the viral moments - this episode is going to give you a fresh perspective.
Read MoreI have a theory…
It doesn’t matter HOW consistent you are at marketing your business UNLESS you believe in the message you are delivering.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever felt like your content is missing something (that it’s not landing, not connecting) chances are, you’re not telling stories in a way that truly reflects who you are.
Read MoreI get it… the fonts, colours and logos of your brand are fun.
No one wants to sit down and write the long-term plans either, that can be scary.
But without the CORE brand foundations, it is HARD to market your business well - trust me it is rough.
So if you are a business owner wanting to create impact sustainably and get actual results from your marketing, it all starts with the basics. Brand foundations.
Read MoreDo I need social media to have a successful business?
That is a question I am sure you ask yourself every time you have to sit down and post to socials.
While yes, social media can play a huge role in marketing your small business, I am here to tell you - you have options.
In this episode of The Content Queen Podcast, I am giving you 3 things you can do instead of relying just on socials.
Read MoreDo you have this fundamental marketing channel set up for your business?
Google My Business?
I think it is an underrated channel and one we are all guilty of either not having or not keeping updated. And yes, even if ChatGPT takes over search, your Google My Business profile creates credibility.
Read MoreDo you ask yourself this often?
Am I actually doing a “good job” at marketing my business?
I am going to give you 3 things to think about, but spoiler alert... There is no magic. Marketing works for businesses because they know what works for their audience and their business.
Read MoreCan we even keep up?
Social media, marketing via content has changed. 2025 did some crazy things and 2026 is going to be amplified. What do you do?
Let's break it down together.
